over the last few years it's been hard for me to find stores that carry jean shorts, which is weird because they have the full length jeans on display still

is this in retaliation for people calling them "jorts"

@cwebber I got 2 pairs of jorts last weeks :D
(mostly because I was thinking I needed some new shorts, and the local discounter where I do most of my groceries had them randomly.)

@kellerfuchs I had to settle for cargo pants made out of some awful hybrid material between kakhis and swim trunks

@kellerfuchs Me, to the Target person: "Why aren't you selling jean shorts when you're selling jeans, and also shorts? It seems like a very basic commodity"

Target clerk: "Something something not the right fashion right now"

what

90s grunge fashion forever

@cwebber
Get old jeans and cut them, that's how they're supposed to be made ;)
@kellerfuchs

@cwebber I have admitted that I will never look good in shorts and have decided to just wear jeans all year long.

I still have some shorts but those are for the trips from the front door to the curb on trash day.

@craigmaloney @cwebber

I always wear long pants. That way, if I get teleported to Italy, people won't give me dirty looks. Or at least they wont' give me dirty looks for wearing shorts.

@cwebber i don't want to say that you're doing it wrong, but my 1990s middle-american upbringing bids me to remind you that every pair of jeans is a pair of jorts in waiting.
