Pluggers by Rick McKee for January 11, 2021

It’s okay. He has furry legs.

Pluggers of the southwest wear shorts year round at any rate. Many areas where there’s no snow! ;D

That makes my grandson a plugger. You can’t get that kid into long pants.

No way! Unless you want to see my road map.

Well, he’s got lots of fur anyway.

<—- wears shorts till first day of sNOw

Maybe David Iannuzzi meant boxer shorts? Because I’m a bit skeptical about this.

I am literally wearing shorts right now as it snows outside

No. No they don’t.

Normal Michigan winter gear, but we wear black socks in winter, white is for summer. Gotta be able to see your feet.

my grandson does it too……

Sorry this plugger likes to stay warm so no shorts in winter ;-)

Not me, its dumb when its 6 and windy outside.

My spouse wears shorts year around — in Colorado — because long pants have gotten “too long.” Like many somewhat ‘rounded’ individuals, as he has aged, his waistline has dropped and his inseam has shortened. I have a similar problem, but slacks for women come in many lengths and styles — leggings, harem pants, culottes, cargo, toreador, and cropped, to name a few.

Those few that wear shorts up here are usually … um… heavier. And it’s not exclusive to pluggers.

Seems to be a common occurrence in Scout Troops, both Scouts and leaders…

Not if it’s cold and snow country. Pluggers have enough sense to dress warm when outside; unlike the young kids

and middle schoolers, too.

As a crossing guard, when a particular student came through my intersection, this was how I knew when it was REEAAALLLY cold . Although I did not need him to figure that out.

Not up here they don’t.

Idiots wear shorts regardless of the season. …but props for not saying irregardless

Not here in Indiana! Insulated paints are the norm!

Not this plugger.

That would be my younger stepbro, who’s 50 & wears shorts in all kinds of weather. In my experience, shorts in winter are a young dude thing. Almost all the pluggers I know wouldn’t be caught dead in shorts, even on the hottest summer days!

Not all of us…..

reminds me of a Pokémon video game battle character saying he likes to wear shorts even in the winter

This plugger wears shorts in the comfort of home only. I need to go out someplace further than my yard, the long pants replace the shorts.
