On Men Who Can Wear Shorts
Thank you, sir. I was oblivious to seersucker's benefits, but the Wiki page makes fascinating reading. Here are some random facts:
- The word "seersucker" came into English from Hindi, which originates from the Persian words "shir o shekar," meaning "milk and sugar", probably from the resemblance of its smooth and rough stripes to the smooth surface of milk and bumpy texture of sugar.
- The fabric was originally worn by the poor in the U.S. until undergraduate students, in an air of reverse snobbery, began to wear the fabric.
- Seersucker was the choice for the summer service uniforms of the first female United States Marines.
- The US Senate holds a Seersucker Thursday in June, where the participants dress in traditionally Southern clothing.

On Men Who Can Wear Shorts
It's 31 degrees (Celsius) in sunny Montreal and I admit that I am wearing shorts. I'm not proud of it, but pants in this humid weather would be horrendous.
I have long searched for a fashionable (but equally practical) alternative to shorts, but have always come up...er, short. Fellow well-dressed Awl reader, please help. Does such an alternative exist, or am I condemned to always have to expose my dorky legs for the sake of being comfortable?

On Today in Facebook Status Updates: Who’s Masturbating Now?
Holy shit! I think I just discovered a new trend: Facebook status plagiarism. I tried searching for the saying "The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do". After two minutes, Openbook is still returning matches.
Are people really that desperate to market themselves that they will steal another person's Farcebook status if it has a nice ring to it?
