Outside The Mainstream & Glad To Be Here

I am determined not to know everything. I have come to the conclusion that there are some things that should remain outside my head.

Here is an example … I just read where something called “Lady Gaga” just appeared on Oprah.

I don’t know what a “Lady Gaga” is and I am not going to try and “educate” myself about it or her or whatever. It can’t be that important.

There is one thing that I am having a hard time getting my mind around … Pants That Are Worn Below The Hips. There are a few things about this phenomenon that have all us clear thinkers scratching our collective heads…
• Why do they wear their pants this way?
• Why do the pants not fall down?
• Is walking down the street holding your cell phone to your ear with one hand and holding up your pants with the other hand really that cool?

If their collective pants fell to their collective ankles, would we all say, “Gaga!” (Whatever that is)?

Would I kid u?

Lady Gaga matriculated from NYU!! She is thus part of the important legacy of Guy's august institution.

People, most feeling inferior, do odd and unusual things, primarily to get the attention of their fellow people. If they can't objectively, readily, and properly do what most others do, then they get attention by doing their own thing.

I'm almost 70. I can remember the day I started wearing my pants lower and lower. It started in Junior High School in 1955. I complained to my mom that my jeans were now "highwaters" due to my growth spurt. She said to "pull them down". We couldn't afford to buy jeans then, just like I can't afford to buy the "drop the jeans down" pants now. Now I wear them lower to keep them under my belly. I lost my hips years ago!
