I am attending an ADULT FUNCTION this evening and this ADULT FUNCTION is very different from the ones I usually attend because it will be filled with many SMART and INFLUENTIAL people and it is CLASSY and that means that I have to break my, like, four year streak and WEAR PANTS!!1! which is something that I normally do not do blessed as I am with a job where I wear shorts everyday and with a wife who doesn’t force me to go places where pants are required. Actually, I honestly cannot remember the last time I wore pants and last year the L&T Casey bought me a pair of Lucky jeans for my birthday and it was like SHE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW ME or something.
Also. There will also be a JACKET REQUIRED. And I have to be charming.
Shit. Fuck.

Just act normal and don’t let on you’re a somewhat popular blogger with bassets. Don’t blow the cover.
Wonder how well those subtitles translated “soul brother” and “blackified.”
Hmmm…room full of ADULTS, dressed up, and likely drinking too much alcohol…no doubt there will be a lot of “talking loud, ain’t sayin nuthin.”

Hmmm, I just returned from a function here in Davis sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce (so business casual, guys), and there WERE people wearing shorts. So whatsamatta with San Diego?
Just be thankful you don’t have to wear a dress and pantyhose with a built in girdle. Unless it’s that kind of “adult function”.
If the liquor is free then NO WHINING about having to wear pants.
Do you ever see movies in theaters? If so, don’t you wear pants there so you don’t freeze your donkamon off?
Whassamattawityou? Any manly man knows that for this type of event you dress up in a kilt!
You totally should go to the funktion in hot pants, baby.
just remember to leave them on until you get home
Life is harsh at times, but I am sure that you will persevere. Think of the bassets.
“Get Up (I Feel Like Being Like A) Sex Machine”
Been there.
I know how ya feel: If I can’t smoke and swear I’m F*cked!
Shoot, it appears that shorts don’t qualify as “pants” Chez TBogg. Apparently you’ve been wearing “shorts” but didn’t consider yourself to be wearing “pants.” Here I was picturing you going commando all these years.
Shortly after we arrived in Hawaii, we were told that “formal” means “you tuck in your aloha shirt.” [This may be of use to you re L&T Casey's graduation festivities.]
Jeeze, I didn’t hear any bitching about having to wear a tie, you silly hippie, so stop moaning about having to wear (long) pants.
Ah, quit your whining. You’d think someone was forcing you to sleep with Sarah Palin…or John McCain.
Night Court?
You could look at this as your first shot at acting. You have your motivation, just pick a character to draw from. My first shot was the draft board physical, it went well.
You know, it’s possible the L&TC was trying to send you a message…
Y’know, while I was forced to watch endless promos of the recent “Underwear Bomber” special on the History Channel, I mused about what the perfect theme song for that special would be.
I think that the Reverend James Brown has given us a winner.
Okay, but at least you don’t have to wear shoes. Right?
Or ZIP your pants?
Poor old Mr. Laurastrand had the same “issue” last Saturday, and was forced into the two-legged, crotch burka. Luckily, the ADULT FUNCTION was in San Francisco on a mild weekend, and FUNCTION included an historic hotel, and was “hosted” (free booze and such).
He, like you TBogg, prefers the freedom of shorts year-around. Me, I only make him dress like a bidness-man and attend ADULT FUNCTIONS when necessary. Thus, he keeps the fussin’ and frettin’ to a minimum.
My advice, be a guy who looks and acts like he’s proud to be out with his gal.
What Lesley said. No sympathy from us women. Let alone those in colder climates.
Guess we know now why it was MrsTBogg who ventured into the frozen North (from a San Diego point of view) during blizzard season to choose and retrieve the estimable Wembley.
You could wear them as headgear…at least that would give people something to talk about.
I can totally relate! I work remotely from home, so I haven’t worn pants since January. My look is totally college jock frat boy. My wife is appalled.
Just wear your freaking shorts. Wear them low, like around your knees. That be cool!
24+ hrs. since the horrified Tbogg advised us of his suffering. Wonder if the strain of wearing real pants led to trouble of some sort?
and last year the L&T Casey bought me a pair of Lucky jeans for my birthday
mebbe she thought they were a novelty item
