Okay, you last 4 posters, THANKS for those mental images!!! :)

LOL, Yuck! I've got a little list, they never will be missed:
-add the females wearing belly-exposing shirts who have rolls of fat;
-thongs deliberately exposed;
-males who are still wearing pants around their hips, crotches at their knees, walking on shredded hems;
-women who are of an age to know better than to wear their teen's style (and size) jeans (just stay out of the teen deparment altogether!);
-men wearing (esp. black) socks with sandals;
-men wearing speedos who shouldn't and women wearing bikinis who shouldn't;
-and my husband's pet peeve: bra straps showing underneath cut-out tank tops (?!)

Myself, a bit sqeamish when I spot a man's abundant mammaries, bouncing not unlike a teenage elephant on a trampoline...Go teena, go Teena...

Am I the only one who misinterpreted the title of the posting?

My initial thought was that some man showed up at a restaurant in his underwear! It didn't occur to me that "pantless" could also mean he was wearing shorts.

BayouGal Jul 29th, 2006 01:13 PM

No, Judy, I thought the same thing. I think the title was used to get our attention, which it definitely did! :)

why should someone else's clothing choices upset your meal? unless someone at the next table barfs up their food, i'm only paying attention to my date and my plate!

BayouGal Jul 29th, 2006 01:29 PM

That must be <i>some date </i> if you can ignore a lot of things described on this thread!! ;-)

Now if the title of this thread said, &quot;Topless women turn away...&quot;, my DH woulda wanted to know &quot;Which restaurant?&quot; LOL. (his mind is still on the topless beach in Portugal)...he has no shame. :D ;)

matnikstym Jul 29th, 2006 01:31 PM

it's called ambiance bg, get it where you can and thank god there's so much diversity out there!

BayouGal Jul 29th, 2006 01:33 PM

LMAO mat and stw!! I needed a good laugh! :)

kswl Jul 29th, 2006 01:37 PM

A bit disappointed that &quot;pantless&quot; in the headline meant &quot;wearing shorts.&quot; :D

matnikstym Jul 29th, 2006 01:39 PM

I can take ya to the &quot;pantless&quot; beach for a picnic if ya want bg...

BayouGal Jul 29th, 2006 01:41 PM

ONLY pantless . . . what's the fun in that?! ;-)

Mat, I'm not the girl I once was . . . wouldn't want to frighten you and J to death, and in Hawaii, no less! :)

seetheworld Jul 29th, 2006 01:42 PM

Hot-diggitty-dog! :D Can I come too? :D

BayouGal Jul 29th, 2006 01:43 PM

Keep your &quot;pants&quot; on, STW. I will not be responsible for your death, too! LoL

Scarlett Jul 29th, 2006 01:52 PM

&quot;Go Teena, Go Teena&quot; LOL!!!

Here in Portland, which I really do love, you will see everything...but I find myself sort of thinking like sylvia, <i>Go home and put some clothes on!!</i>

nytraveler Jul 29th, 2006 05:32 PM

Just to clarify a couple of things:

The man was given size 46 pants because that is the size he needed (making the bare legs even more charming)

I have nothing against men's legs - many are quite attractive and stare worthy - and if it's on the street or a casuale outdoor cafe it;s one thing - but I do not want my pleasant upscale dinner spoiled by the legs, hariy armpits or other bits noted above which shall remain unspecified.

As for the beach - everyone is entitled to wear what they want (although some of us should look in the mirror more carefuly before leving the house) because it is the beach - and when we go there we all know we're taking our chances.
