skymama 35 #1 February 22, 2013 So, let's say a man wears black crew socks with his shorts, like in this random shot I found on the internet. (Ignore the huge knot on his shin, I think I found it on www.iamaklutz.com). Is this an appropriate style for a man? Should he be wearing something more stylish, like an ankle sock or even a no-show sock? I'm just curious. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jceman 1 #14 February 22, 2013 Lynn has standing orders that if she ever sees me wearing black socks with shorts (or even worse, sandles aand shorts), she is to shoot me on the spot as I will have obviously lost what little is left of my mind. Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

See Rule 28: http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/ I must disagree respectfully and point to rule #33. Rule #33 // Shave your guns. Legs are to be carefully shaved at all times. If, for some reason, your legs are to be left hairy, make sure you can dish out plenty of hurt to shaved riders, or be considered a hippie douche on your way to a Critical Mass. Whether you use a straight razor or a Bowie knife, use Baxter to keep them smooth. As for the black socks question....I think the louder the better in almost everything fun. So I would rock the black socks all day! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Used to have a jump buddy back in our 20's who wore bermuda shorts, black socks and tennis shoes, dressing like a 70 year old on a cruise. He was hip enough to make it look cool.
