    The better question: are those seriously pleated front pants?

    So dress slacks aren’t hip/fashionable if they’re pleated?

    Hrm.

    My question is this: Who has the faster draw from the holster - Gordon Gecko with his blackberry or Billy the Kid with his six-shooter? And is the bronco sticker from an apparently non-WY alum indicate a geek-ish attempt to fuse the two in a Weird Science kind of way? umm, that’s a lot of movie references…

    That’s a hard one. All geeks wear pleats and Blackberries.

    I read an article about pleats. They are only appropriate on dress slacks (I read: “The bottom half of a suit”) and only with a cuff at the bottom. Now you have the official word on pleats.

    trust me. Any true geek will own anything BUT a Blackberry.

    A geek would be ashamed to actually own one. When there are full OS’s to be had on phones nowadays.

    If that’s a BB, he aint no geek. And if that’s a geek, that aint no BB.

    Oh, and all my work pants are sexy damnit! Pleated or not.

    urban princess: i was completely unaware that pleated dockers were a no-no until about two months ago. since then, all of mine have ended up at d.i. of course, i haven’t worn dockers in several years anyway, but i keep a few pair handy just-in-case.

    ryan: my htc wizard and i thank you for your support.
