Very cool. Those two are righteous dudes.

Made me smile.

Good for them. This has caused me to stop weeping for the future, at least for the next few minutes.

At the Astros game on Sunday there was a kid in a pink tank top over his shirt. I asked him if he was wearing the shirt because of this story, and yup, he sure was. So cool.

3rd Grader: Hey look everybody, Billy peed his pants.
Billy Madison: Of course I peed my pants, everyone my age pees their pants. It's the coolest.
3rd Grader: Really?
Billy Madison: YES. You ain't cool, unless you pee your pants.
3rd Grader: Hey look, Ernie peed his pants too. Alright!
Old Farm Lady: If peeing in your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis.

It's so inspiring when popular people use their powers for awesome, instead of for evil.

In the US, pink polo shirts are considered fashionable. It's weird that in the last 50 years or so, pink has become such a "girlish" color.

I wore a pink shirt to the office under my grey suit on Monday. My tie was silver and blue with a reddish pattern that set off nicely against the pink.

I see many men in pink every day, but this is New York; I don't know how it is elsewhere.

I like my pink shirt. My mom says I look very handsome in it.

Everyone here wears pink. It's been a foregone conclusion since some footballers started the trend. Becks, prolly.

Seriously?! I would have thought this really wouldn't be a big deal anymore.
I guess this guy was right to be concerned:
