POLL: BOYS IN SKIRTS?

Is wearing a skirt to school a legitimate form of protest for sweltering lads denied shorts?

Personally, I support this fight for the "right to shorts" but nonetheless feel the stage ban should remain in place.
 
Digging the half Dutch boy/half mullet look you're sporting these days, SOW. Tell me all about the amazing toanz your guitarist achieves with that sweet Line6 pedalboard ;)

You'll have to pry my mullet from my cold, dead hand.
I think it's a great idea. I take more issue with people wearing hats indoors than wearing shorts or skirts.
One of these days I'm going to start telling people I'm Celtic & wear a kilt.

A friend of mine turned up to a BBQ recently with a kilt on & it had it's own manpurse:

That's cool that your friend felt comfortable enough to wear this out, but a little creepy that
you betrayed his trust with this attempt at an up-skirt shot.

Not a "manpurse", that's a modern take on the sporran.

I wear kilts fairly often. Usually from UtiliKilt. They're super comfortable.

Oh, and edit:

Please don't. Enough folk run around saying that and being dumb... don't need yet another. Just get a kilt and wear it if you want :P
 
When I was a kid, the school district where I lived forbade shorts. It was just south of Detroit, and the schools typically had no air conditioning. Most people also had no air conditioning in their homes or cars. On the other hand, the schools in my present locale allow shorts, in the same climate. Some schools have a/c, others don't. The high school where my band practices has no a/c.

One classmate showed up for a final exam in shorts. The teacher kicked him out of the classroom. So he traded with a girl in the hallway, came back in wearing girl's jeans, and took the exam.
