Dear Guy at the Gym. . .

Hey there.

I don't know you. I don't know anything about you, except the fact that you work out at the Big Gay Gym. This likely means you're gay, but I try not to make assumptions.

I'm guessing you're a morning person, since you were there this morning. But on the other hand, maybe you're like me, squeezing your workouts in when you can despite the fact that the mere act of lacing up your sneakers before the sun is out makes you stabby.

And I'm thinking you must really love your country. Because for the life of me, I can't think of any other reason one would purchase those bright blue lycra bike shorts with the American flag motif running in a stripe down the legs.

On that note, though, maybe you want to not wear those again, ever? Because if you do love America, you probably don't want it associated with a garment that displays your junk quite so prominently.

It is not flattering.

It is, in fact, probably making people hate America.

If you wear those shorts again, the terrorists have won.

Everytime I see someone in American flag gear I think that at some point that stuff ends up in the corner of the laundry room...which seems a bit like desecration, if you're into that sort of thing.

fB: I don't know about hegemony defeating, but I know more than I want to about this dude's wang.

lacochran: indeed.

gunn: without commenting otherwise on "your" appearance. . .the shorts are not flattering.

cs: I agree.

Sipping coffee and realizing it's too early in the day for such talk or thoughts.

U.S.A. U.S.A. Let me put my junk in your trunk. Shaking head.

Sipping a fine brew.
