I have wondered when I see a sign in a place of business "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service." what would happen if someone showed up wearing just shoes and a shirt?

Doc I dare say you and I would be in deep doo doo...but others may get away with it...

I do usually enjoy wearing a shirt at home, although if it's hot enough in the summer, I will dispense with it.

It's actually pants that come off as soon as the front door closes behind me. I am a guy who just really enjoys his boxer briefs. That is a comfortable way to hang out at home.

And, sometimes, if it's just the perfect temperature-- not too cold, not too warm-- the boxer briefs can go. I will occasionally hang out in a t-shirt and nothing else, just me, the air, Jesusito and his two round apostles....

Keymaker, sometimes people will great you with an inquiry about staying out of trouble. I usually respond with something to the effect that life is more exciting when you are in trouble. Not much fun, but technically interesting.

PS. it seems that I am almost always in deep doo doo, or at least very smelly when I'm changing my 1 year old grandaughters diaper.

Levite,

What is the purpose of shirt/no pants?

You can't fight without pants.

That's a Die Hard rule.

...

In AMERICA men MUST have pants, shirt optional.

In AMERICA women MUST have shirt, pants optional.

Well, since you asked.... I tend to sweat a little in the armpits. I don't use anti-perspirants, because the chemicals in them range from bad for you to unbelievably bad for you. So, a t-shirt kind of helps that problem out. Also, for some reason, I just don't find t-shirts restricting the way I find pants.

And as for the Die Hard rule, much as I do love that movie, my friend, I don't see it applying. I live in a fairly small condo, which means that I am never more than six steps or so from one of my broadswords.

And I guarantee you, when you've got a big hairy Jew coming at you with a four and a half foot bastard claymore in his hand, you really will not care if he's wearing pants or not.

$50 if you post that. Lemme see your WAR face.

We'll see. But don't hold your breath!

I am nekkid except when cold or in the company of clothes-wearers.

Or when in the presence of animals.
They have their own ideas about boundaries and I need at least one layer of separation. I still suffer from flashbacks of enforced menageries a trois when people's pets have been present during intimacy. Was it when I was forty - that Cat whose main aim was to find the best place to sit, paced around on my back - a purring surfer on the waves of my passion? Or was it that blind Poodle when I was nineteen? Ear-buds still fall out.

Covered, please.
 

As much as I delight in topless men, I have a problem with toplessness that is out of context. One time my current SO came to a July dinner table topless. I told him that unless this is the dress rehearsal for our relocation into a trailer park - keep it covered. :orly:

I usually wear a shirt (I have some scars even I don't like to look at) but usually no shoes, unless going out.

If I understand my history the Greeks and others did rather well fighting without pants.

Don't believe everything you see in the movies.

Bullshit. Epic heroes from yesteryear had three timeless options: Dockers, US military DCU trousers or Ranger panties.

And have you been to Greece recently? Pfft, hard to believe they conquered anything.

Ha, ha, nice. Looking at contemporary Grecians compared to ancient Grecians is far worse than criticizing America's empire for being "lame" compared to their ancestors' British one. I mean, no one really talks about America's navy the same way. And you guys don't even have a king, or a Duke of Wellington laying the smackdown on Napoleon. You guys didn't even catch Osama bin Laden.

I say if the ancient Greeks didn't wear pants, then no one should have to. Real men don't need pants.

But for the record, I'm all about clothes, even at home. However, I don't claim to need them; I just prefer them.

naked is the ticket baby.

i have so much hair on my chest (as you could probably tell from pics of my ass) that i walked into a beer store last summer sans le t-shirt.......and the clerk says to me........."little warm out to be wearing a sweater isn't it?"

had a good laugh.



bastard

shirtless in the summer always. my nipples get cold sometimes in the winter so i dare not. lol

I would agree with you except for societies conventions. Perhaps Plan9 is covering an inadequacy, can't wait to hear plan9's response.

It depends on what the temperature inside my house is. I am wearing a winter jacket now because it is 50 F inside. Wearing anything would be too much when it is 85-90 F indoors.

I'm not sure what would happen if there was anyone else living with me.

its wintertime in colorado. the shirt stays ON! however once it gets to be hotter or when i get deployed etc. yes shirtless is the way to go. i recommend it to my female colleagues here as well.

Ha, ha, nice. Stop trying to derail my point with unrelated historical fluff, smart guy!

Do the math with me, Baraka: Armies with pants > armies without pants. Men with pants > men without pants.

Pants doing manly things

Who conquered the Romans? Barbaric guys with pants.

Who stomped the Native Americans? European guys with pants.

Who turned William Wallace into the first Stretch Armstrong? Brits with pants.

Who invented machine guns, napalm, whiskey? Clever guys wearing pants.

Who wrote Man on the Silver Mountain? Musicians wearing pants.

Who landed on the frickin' moon? Bold guys with giant brass balls in pants.

Cowboys, pirates, ninjas, werewolves, zombies, vampires: Pants.

Rangers, SAS, Delta Force, GSG-9, Mossad, SEALs, Boy Scouts, your father: Pants.

Who blew a load in/on your wife before you married her? Some guy in pants.

Guys without pants:

Neanderthal Man (got his ass beat down in evolution by the more advanced species that later invented pants)

Jesus of Nazareth (questionable carpenter turned "Messiah," crucified by men without pants)

Ru Paul (enough said)

Guys with pants:

Arnold Schwarzenegger (bodybuilding god, action movie actor, governor of California)

Chuck Norris (actually has his own brand of face-kicking jeans *roundhouse kick*)

Mikhail Kalashnikov (invented the preferred means by which men with pants kill other men with pants)

Come on, now:

Are you seeing a pattern here? Sure, a few guys without pants have done great things... but not nearly as many as guys with pants.

Oh, PM your address. I need to send you some frickin' flower print granny panties.

This will seem even more funny after you've been at TFP for a while. Search for "smooth spot" on the forum for a few laughs.

That's quite allright this thread is funny enough right now, I really didn't need to add anything, just felt like it.

I dunno. I used to be a naked little hooligan in my low twenties (running around in boxer shorts, sometimes nothing if alone). Then I started wearing clothes for some odd reason. Now I'm in between. I often go shirtless if temperature permits. Still sometimes rock only boxers. During winter though we keep it cold to save money, so I'm usually fully dressed. But I also like to show off my tattoos and scarification. So going shirtless is a plus in that regard.

edit: you're forgetting the most fiercesome warriors of all, that go pantless, and naked. Celtic berserkers. (or one of those old cultures, can't remember for sure if it was the celts).

this makes me a hooligan?!?!

Yeah... you KNOW a group has their shit together when the Roman Empire shows up, takes one look at you, turns the fuck around and builds something that gives the great wall of china a run for its money.

I'm a little tired of society's fear of naked people :p Nothing wrong with bearing all. Not only do I think that males should be able to take their shirt off, women should too. Moobs and boobs be free!

hear, hear!!!

No shirt in summer, but when it's negative 5 like it is today, I think I'll wear a shirt! :thumbsup:

My husband actually very seldom takes shirt off these days in summer, unless he's going swimming.
