+1 freakin million points.

And kiddies: here's how the pants off the ass thing started: Prisons switched to lowest cost scrubs, like a doctor wears as opposed to uniform. Well the scrubs fit horribly and slide off asses. Prisoners got tired of pulling the up and just accepted it. When they got out of prison and back home, they brought the style of wearing pants off their ass with them. And then kids in the neighborhood wanted to emulate the tough guys so they did it. And then stupid white kids wanted to emulate city kids who were emulating thugs. How cool! So now lilly whites have droopy draws too.

You seem to know a lot about prison garb---were u in the slammer???

I agree that Burton knows its target audience well and is doing what good marketers do. Now when they come out with a portable vaporizer built into a face mask then I will be impressed:lol:

So if I like to express myself through porn there i a problem?

You sound concerned so let me assure you don't have to worry there is no problem.

My only point was that there is a time and a place for such shirts. I just wish people would use a little more common sense. Trust me I have a few shirts in the closet I would not want my daughter see. "Give Me ROSSIGNOL or give me HEAD"

Honestly things have changed for me since my daughter was born. I see things a little differently than before. :blink: I vowed never to turn into my parents but maybe it is inevitable

That was my favorite shirt by the way ;-)

An invaluable lesson that I try to give my kids is, "Be true to yourself".

WOrks well protecting a chillum - or so I'm told

Good time of year for a chillum! Ya don't have everybody drooling their germs all over everything.

Those boarders look like they are in they interviewee protection program! Probably don't want mom and dad and grandma recognizing them.

Not that I confirm anything but...
The whole idea of a chillum is to use it without touching it to your mouth... smoking through the hands or so I've een.

What happened to being creative and making your own 420 kit? I say save the money.

Unless it really is crash resistant. Maybe I wouldn't have shed so many tears over broken glass.

What next a crash resistant bubbler kit with a small amount of water. BINGO!! See you later job :-D

Altoids cans work well!

My dad worked at State facility in New Haven. I learned what was "pruno" was when I was 11. And I've spent a fair amount of time inside myself. Visiting clients. Let me tell you, prison sucks. So celebrations of thuggery really get under my skin. Too many good young men are wasting their lives in prison on account of their bravado. In the ski/snowboard world excess bravado gets you a broken collar-bone; in the inner city drug scene, it gets you a bullet in your belly or a stiff sentence of mind-deadening incarceration.
