Shorts are getting longer

[thalbergmad]

It is true, look at footballers, cyclists and boxers.

Why is this?. The footballers of today are wearing longer shorts than Stanley Matthews.

Please explain.

It looks a lot cooler.

It is probably taken from the surfers.

[pianistimo]

it's a compensation for global warming so cyclists can use their shorts in any weather.  it was around 60-70 degrees (although windy) here today in pennsylvania.  long shorts make it possible to bicycle in this weather.

We only do celsius. Please speak European.

Don't ask that of pianistimo - you'll risk getting a "conversion text"...

Whilst shorts are getting longer, is it not also true that skirts are getting shorter?

Thal

[mephisto]

It just looks great, don't you think?

Yes, I also have noticed men's shorts getting longer and women's dresses getting shorter. As Confucius said,this means that rape is becoming difficult , because "woman can run faster with skirt up than man can with trousers down." Aside from that, the ones who could attractively wear short skirts never seem to and the ones whose attributes would be better concealed do.

As in other matters, I completely ignore fashion and continue to wear short shorts, provoking accusations of indecency and embarrassment from wife and son. Swimming togs and men's underwear generally are also becoming longer and floppier. To put it succinctly, I prefer clothes which keep things held in place, especially during athletic activities, and this pragmatic consideration overrides fashion as far as I am concerned.

Sad but true ted.

And the girls with the fattest backsides always wear the tighest jeans. Or perhaps they have to wear tight jeans coz they can't buy big enough sizes.

One of the great unanswered questions in our times.

And who but Thal here could have even thought of posing it? (that question, I mean - as distinct from actually posing in said garb...)

In school, girls fold their skirts. Boys wear their shorts/pants on their hips instead of waists, loosely. There was once I paid a guy 5 bucks to pull another guy's pants down. It was worth it. That was two years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday. Btw he was wearing grey underwear.

Interesting that in music, breves (and longs, semibreves, minims etc) have also got longer and longer over the centuries. Probably comes from playing hocket.

Yes - I've heard of Morton Feldman, too...

That's that strange admixture of hockey and cricket that's losing not only the test matches but also the credibility for the England team right now, n'est-ce pas?

It was a hiccough in my spelling.

Well, from the way you speak and the content you type in, you are younger than me.

It's more likely Ada's reaction to the current performance of the England XI. You know how it goes, "Ha, haha, haha, ha, ha, ha, ha, haha, hahaha, haha."

Surely not? - I'd thought that it was more a case of serendipity - "hoquetus" and all that...

Yes, I do indeed know how it goes, although, that said, I rather suspect that "Ada" (not that I seek to speak for her, of course) imagines that the England XI's playing is somehow suggestive that, at some stage, that team has chosen to delude itself into believing that the current test series is actually a succession of table-tennis matches.

"Play up, play up and play the game
But let the Aussies beat yer'
And if their balls doth break thy nose
Then go complain to teacher -
Though if you do, you'll end up in
A barb-filled "Ada" feature".

Alistair
