Hey Buddy--Crack Kills...


I have to take this time to vent about a new phenomenon that seems to be sweeping the Orange County nation. It seems to be everywhere I turn my head, and I've realized that this phenomenon bothers me a tremendous amount.

I am a huge fan of all things "male"... I love the way they smell, the way they try and fix things, even the way they look when they wake up in the morning and their hair is doing a funny "alfalfa" thing in the back. However... and this however might definitely be a deal breaker... Crack Kills.

It is common that men wear their pants low on their waists. So do women now, for that matter. It has become normal to see a man's boxer shorts sticking out of the top of his pants when he raises his arms. But recently, I have been noticing a growing number of men (and boys!) who are still wearing the pants very low, still raising their arms up high... and failing to have that strip of boxer shorts covering the nether-region. In the past week, I have seen about a dozen "cracks" put out there by the male species--at the baseball stadium, riding their bikes around the neighborhood, and at the car wash. I'm not sure if I'm crossing the line here by writing about this, but it seriously bothers me to a point where I had to say something. Is it laziness? Are they just forgetful? Do they need a belt to hold the pants up? Whatever it is, unless they are in the plumbing profession, it needs to stop.

To the men out there--I will always love the way you smell, the way you try to fix things, and the way your hair does that funny "alfalfa" thing... But for heavens sake, pull up your pants, or at least put something under them.
