Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, cmzs.

You’re forgiven.

What next?--with flip flops. Seriously--even us Bermudians, with our world famous shorts and long socks, draw the line before topsiders.

Worse yet, I still do.

My poor excuse is that it can be really cold here.

Welcome CMZS to CF. You should probably not let everyone know so quickly that you wore socks with the Topsiders. Maybe get a little more experience with the forum as you may never live this down.

Re: This Is Tough to Admit, but About Two Years Ago . . .
I also wear socks with my topsiders. I intend to keep doing it until I can get a CF burgee. I am willing to escalate..I will wear suspenders (pant retainers for you Canadians) on my shorts and may even get a blue blazer with gold buttons!

IdorakKeeper,

Please continue to use the pant retainers as I have fear of the dreaded BC.

Re: This Is Tough to Admit, but About Two Years Ago . . .
This is tough to admit, but back in the 80's, I wore Sperry Topsiders.

And a Le Tigre' polo.

And plaid shorts.

With a sweater thrown over my shoulders.

Oh, and the front of my hair was pretty flippy too.

It was the 80's, everybody else was a cokehead but I just dressed like a preppy, just for a little while, really, it wasn't a long time. It wasn't. Just like a year or two. I swear.

You shouldn't reveal such information on your "first date."
