Do we really need this section?

2009-10-22T21:55:12-05:00

I’m thinking about combining it with another subforum, because no one seems to use it very much. Any powerful, persuasive arguments for keeping it?

Comfortable or silly?

Attractive of absurd?

but what are you wearing at this moment?

i think it would also be interesting to see what everyone is wearing at this moment in the history of the planet .... details

What kind of shoes do you wear on a daily basis?

2009-05-15T17:10:53-05:00

I generally wear my Doc Marten boots for almost every occasion, since I’m not a dress-up kind of guy and don’t have many hobbies that would call for tennis shoes.

What about you? Do you have a broad variety of shoes for various occasions, or are you more of a footwear minimalist?

Winkers: the jeans that wink

2009-08-21T20:39:01-05:00

Fashion discussion, here we come! Thank goodness for Fark, because I’d never have found this anywhere else.

Meet the jeans that wink as you walk.

The amusingly named Winkers, whose buttock-eyes appear to wink coquettishly at anybody following the wearer, are the invention of William A. Jones, a retired father of five and grandfather of seven who lives in Everett, Washington.

Jones says that the idea came to him when, naturally, he was checking out a woman as she walked past him. Nice.

He says he was sure that her jeans-clad bottom winked at him as she strolled by. A little more thought, and the idea of jeans with eyes in the buttock-folds was born.

Jones experimented with his daughter’s jeans and discovered he could indeed make the jeans wink, and came up with the name Winkers.

So are these jeans sexy, or sexist? Or just dumb in general?

The best and worst toys from your childhood

2009-07-21T14:50:57-05:00

This is a simple thread that exists for purposes of pure nostalgia. I’ll start.

Best: Who could possibly forget the wonder that was the Thundercats’ Thundertank?

And who could forgive the terrible, expensive, dull-to-play fad known as pogs?

Kind of in the middle is the mostly crappy G.I. Joe era that gave us the cool-looking, but instantly breakable Serpentor.

Your loves and loathes?
