Uphold your pants, uphold the law

[LinasK]

That's what inspired the song, "Pants On The Ground" by General Larry Platt!

Pants On The Ground
Pants On The Ground
Lookin' Like A Fool With Your Pants On The Ground

I am torn. I absofreekinlutey abhor those droopy drawers the kids all wear today and I want to support this new ordinance but I also feel that govt is waaaay too involved in my business as it is. sigh.

Maybe if people were like they were in the old days and spoke their minds more (ei "Hey, goofball, pull up your drawers!") then the govt wouldn't feel so obliged to intervene. Obviously, there have been complaints made in GA. Enough so that they are now going to regulate pants.

Perhaps those folks who have complaints should cut out the middle man and just go to the source.

I am known in my neighborhood since the time my adult son was a teen. When his friends came over you can believe they all pulled up their drawers before even considering knocking at my door. I am that kinda gal who has no problem giving a young man a serious wedgy. I figure, if I can see your underpants, you must want them up over your ears.

No joke, I used to do this to my kids friends. It took almost no time for them to get the picture and you know what? I never saw their drawers again! Go figure.

When are whiny babies gonna stop asking the government to do everything for them? If you don't like it, speak it loud and proud! If kids should be ashamed for showing their *sses then by all means, shame them yourselves. Don't ask officer friendly to take time out of his day (that could be used solving crimes and catching criminals) to do it for you.

I like your style re: the wedgie!

Unfortunately it's an assault and battery if anyone were to decide they wanted to go after you - that's the problem. I don't agree with it, but it's where we are today.

I guess I will ahve to move to GA and let the government protect me from the underpants

Naw, I'll risk the assault and battery charge, teens hate cops more than wedgies I think, lol

I really don't want the government telling me what I can wear, but at the same time when I see the pants-a-saggin it sure makes me want to find a reason to really make them run!

If I didn't fear someone packin, I would sure like to sent my really big dogs at them to see what is more important to them, the pants or running. But I would be afraid that they might shoot them. Ya never know.

And congrats to Nova!!! Just make sure you don't go running with your newfound low riders.

The truth is, it's prison wear.

It all started with 'bros' wanting to show support or connection to those in prison. Who can't wear belts, so their pants fall down.

Now they style it, fancy it up.

The only way to stop such fads, is to make it unwanted. Kids get a kick out of shocking folks. I rather shock back by asking the kids if he is practicing for when he is in prison. Or asking if their goal in life is to do life in prison. The young ones now days don't know what it represents.

I would be more in favor of a law that allowed the "pantsing" of anyone with the low riders. I'm sure that pants slightly inclined to show some bun cleavage when selecting brie at Von's would not fall to the knees upon a pantsing whereas the baggy britches that somehow defy gravity and hang below the bunnage I believe would be the easy target. It would be so much more fun that way and we would avoid the red tape that is going into issuing all these fines or sentences or whatever.

It would be the test: if a good tug can't pull them all the way down, then they are legal. If we couldn't see a plumber's crack and laugh, what would we have to love about plumbers? (oh yeah, they do make the toilet work again).

If you got pantsed and they fell down, you would just have to live with that...no harm, no foul.

This could become my one serious goal in life because the urge I feel to pants some dude with those belted pants with the waistband around the upper thighs and the boxers in view is almost overwhelming!! I just KNOW those pants would be a pile around the ankles. Then I'd RUN because they aren't going to catch me with pants around their ankles. Problem is I would get capped, pretty sure so I've managed to show restraint

I used to be a famous pantser back in the 80's when those hideous baggy gym pants were in style, what were they called? I'd be arrested nowdays. Ahh the good ole days.

OMG- thank you so much- I just needed that laugh so much today...I will have to reread this again tomorrow...made my night! (I work in an urban high school- I would get nothing else done if I started pantsing everyone but it might be worth it, lol!)

 

[tlcya]

lol at pantsing ordinance. I love that, that is better than my wedgy technique. Nice one ziggy.

 

[kgeaux]

We know who this is aimed at.
How come it's ok to have those car washes with young women in barely- there bikinis? Not saying I like the low pants. I don't.

Yep, I think you have hit the nail on the head----I don't like the low pants either, but I think it is a bit over-the-top to let the government tell us which styles we can pick as individuals.

Seriously, does anyone really want to let the government have THAT much control?

I love the way you operate! I luckily never had a problem with my daughters friends showing up that way. They often wore very baggy pants but they never hung down showing their underwear. I, frankly, would have taken one look at them and bust out laughing. I know I wouldn't have been able to stop myself.

I think this ordinance is a waste of time and money. So, now police officers have to go around measuring peoples drawers instead of stopping crime? Yeah, there's a great idea. Officer's have enough to do without being the fashion police. It's absurd.

My niece's grandparents live in Dublin Georgia. It's a very small town, about 16k people within it's ~13 miles. Most of them are older. So I can see where this ordinance comes from.

Here are some stats from Wiki : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin,_Georgia

In the city the population was spread out with 26.7% under the age of 18, 9.0% from 18 to 24, 24.8% from 25 to 44, 22.2% from 45 to 64, and 17.2% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 37 years.

Dublin is known for its St Patrick’s festival which takes place during all of March.[18] Also the Redneck Games take place in nearby East Dublin, Ga.

As of the census[1] of 2000, there were 15,857 people, 6,130 households, and 4,027 families residing in the city.

seriously, is there nothing more important on this towns agenda? i mean, i don't like looking at fat people in polyester, old biker chicks with low cut shirts that show off their leather cleavage, old men with pants up to their man *advertiser censored*, 12 year old girls with their a$$es hanging out of their shorts, 80's gear that's back in fashion, snarky hipster t-shirts, those hideous Ed Hardy t-shirts, madonna in trucker caps....i mean i could go on..the list is endless. why does no one speak of banning these hideous things. who cares, really?!

What's next, no plugs, no nose rings? No wearing red? Crazy

They know what it represnts to the "bro's" in prison.. it just represents something different to them. It has it's own meaning.

I had some family in Dublin. I used to go there in the summer, as a kid, to visit my older and "very cool" cousin (she could drive). The thing to do on a Saturday night was to hang out at the Tastee Freeze. This is a very small, extremely southern town that hasn't changed much over the years. You feel as if you are stepping back in time when you go there. There are many towns like that in that area. As Lawanda stated in her post, I can see this happening there.
