But he's right on some stuff. Put away the acoustic guitars, strap on the Les Paul, and crank the Mesa-Boogie up to 11. Skinny jeans? Any man, regardless of age, who wears skinny jeans ain't a man, and needs his ass kicked.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I hated those weenie bikini Speedos when I had to wear them on swim team in high school so I’m sure not going to wear one now. But, the metro author of this is obviously not at all well traveled. The beaches in Europe are ate up with the things and they ain’t young neither. That might confuse the little guy, since Europe is the fount of all things worthy in their minds.
I have several Carhartt hoodies.
I don't have flip flops (one cannot run or fight in flip flops). I do have some Minnetonka moccasins.
I have a Saxophone tie, but the one I wear the most is in the Leatherneck Tartan.
I may or may not have Sun Tsu, but I have several books by WWII veterans, many of them signed.
Yes, I've spent a night in jail. Not recently.
I have a bottle opener on my keychain. It's part of my Victorinox Swiss Army knife.
Never been to Burning Man, never will go.
I had so many jazz festival T-shirts, and my girlfriend took them all and wore them, and when we broke up I just didn't bother trying to get them back.
'No, grown men don't have "Star Wars" bedsheets.'. They have Dr. Who bedsheets.
This writer just proved himsels an idiot by saying nobody over 40 should have a baseball hat.
he’s from Maryland!!
- Shot Glasses (yes, I have my own set and yes, I use them!)
- Sun Tsu's "Art of War" (Read it in my early 30's and kept it)
- Bowling Shoes (I use mine!)
- Velcro Wallet (Mine's 15 years old and still PERFECT!)
- Baseball Caps (I have Cubs)
- Band t-shirts (I have several, love my Lynyrd Skynyrd ones!)
So I call B.S. on this list!
i try to help my husband to not be “that guy” and dress like a grown up. But he wears ballcaps cause he is a baldini and needs to cover his head. when he was working in a suit.tie tho, he wore hats that were dressier. and no knee socks and shorts!
I have notorious “bed head” if I don’t shower in the morning, so I have to put on a cap sometimes if I want to go out in the morning on weekends, and I’m too lazy to jump in the shower.
He should dress like he wants except for weddings, funerals and any event that would get the two of you kicked out if he dressed wrong. Outside of that, it’s fair game and he’s earned the privilege.
The simple fact that a Taurus isn’t listed is proof the writer is a whoopsie.
Flip-flops? SN7474?
okay if he’s alone but when we’re out he can dress like a grown up and i do the same courtesy for him. I’ve earned that privilege after being married over 40 years.
If he looks like a schlubby guy anywhere but a run to Lowes to get mulch.... no dice.
LOL! :-)
“I’ll wear what I want, when I want.”
I’d like to add....”with whom I want!”
No problem with a baseball cap ... unless you are wearing it cocked to the side or backwards. Do that at any age and I will ignore you. Same for guys over forty who try to live vicariously by wearing a jersey/shirt with a sports figures name on it. If you are that big of a loser I want nothing to do with you.
You have all your guitars out on stands? I worry too much about theft and fire to do that. I keep the les paul, Martin acoustic and Eko 12-strong out, but the rest are locked in my big safe or a closet.
Because the usual #1 click-bait image never appears, and...
If that is not image #1...
I, for one, am OUTTATHERE!!
No, in display cases. If stolen. I’ll never see them again. If burned, I’ll never see them again. The only one on a stand is a 2012 Tak acoustic/elec. Homeowners can’t replace them.
Got it. Back in 1987 I had a paisley Telecaster stolen out of my house. Like an idiot I’d left it in the case with the case open. It was an invitation to steal it! Went to every pawn shop in town. Never found it.
