Yo, I'm jus' sayin' - know whad I mean

Ok So I am in the restaurant this evening waiting for my food. This young guy walks in who looks to be about 20 years old. Now I only wish I had a video camera to show you what I am about to describe. He has his pants belted up tight below his butt. He has No tattoos. No Piercings, but does have extremely pale skin, freckles and a face that looked like it belonged to a 5 year old. He swaggered with a low strut that I suppose was portraying the idea that he is tough. Instead it looked like it was right from the Monty Python's Ministry of Silly Walks. Here is the best part. His shirt was a GIRLS Lime green baseball jersey with matching lime green baseball hat That was about 2 sizes too big for his head. He wore it OVER the tips of his ears with the bill to the front. I wondered what was going on in the space in his head that made him suddenly decide that this look is not quite right, thus, for no apparant reason, he took off his cap and placed it precariously askew on the side of his head with the bill to the side like a real "gangsta". Yes! That was the look that instilled fear in the patrons of this establishment.

  1. I took my 86-year-old mother to WalMart the other day and as we were strolling toward the checkout a young man just as you described was in front of us. I made the mistake of pointing him out to my mother. You know when people get older they just say what they please, so she did. She walked up to him and asked, "Young man, is there a reason you are wearing your pants around your butt? I don't like seeing your underwear." I guess older people can get away with it, because he promptly pulled his pants up.
