Title: Better for Gentleman's Clubs: Sweat Pants or Athletic Shorts?
Post by: acslater on November 03, 2009, 08:27:36 PM: Sweat Pants are more versatile but Athletic shorts look better in the light of the day after you leave.

Who was the douche-rocket who accidentally shot himself due to his firearm sliding into his sweatpants?

That'd be this guy, former Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress. But who doesn't enjoy a night on the town wearing your finest sweatpant?

Post by: erika on November 05, 2009, 11:03:03 AM: Repulsive. Not the idea of going to a strip club. Just the idea of wearing sweat pants to one...

And yes, I realize that this could have some anatomical benefits, none of which I think need to be discussed explicitly.

GROSS.

I think it's rather that one is too free in a pair of sweatpants.

Let me first say that this whole thread is repulsive. It ought to be locked and summarily deleted.

With all that being said, I chose athletic shorts.

Yeesh, day one and we are already just one "power tool" joke away from Standards and Practices yanking the PG 13 rating and then this all goes away.

Post by: Keith Whitener on November 05, 2009, 05:17:34 PM: Let's take this in a different direction then. I'd like a philosophical analysis of the Mike Show/ Sick Clique aesthetic. Let's cap it off with an adjective of our own creation/appropriation that shouts "Mike!" It could just be "Mike!"

Post by: FrankFromWeehawken on November 05, 2009, 07:33:06 PM: Windbreaker pants (could this fall into tracksuit territory?). Least amount of friction/resistance.

Post by: buffcoat on November 05, 2009, 07:39:50 PM: At a bachelor party (at which the groom's sister's boyfriend was buying his girlfriend's dad AND himself lap dance after lap dance) I saw a guy drop $3,500 in an hour, which is chump change for Vegas but quite a bit for Raleigh.

He was wearing... gray athletic shorts.

Bike shorts are spandex/lycra and very form fitting versus athletic shorts are more akin to basketball shorts.

Sweatpants
-Pros: Cheap, have pockets to hold ID and wad of soggy sweaty dollar bills
-Cons: Stains more easily

Athletic Shorts
-Pros: Look cool, lets everyone know you're sporty; Stains less easily with multi-colored fabrics
-Cons: May not have pockets
