Right, the REI website had a few of them for $20 a pop. (ha ha, I kill me) If REI wasn't such a pain in the ass for me to get to from here, I'd seriously consider heading over there for some for my own hard-to-shop-for dad.

If sock doesn't want Dad working the spinning class for strange, she'd be better getting him boring gym stuff.

I hate to say this, but Hank's on a bit of a roll here. He's really in his element since the discussion turned to lumpy old men and smelly old clothes. |

Remember when you wore your:

T to church on "teen night?" Boy the Rev was really speaking in tongues that night.

You got brussel spouts in your stocking as a kid? This begins to explain some things....

I beg you all -- please help save our family name.

I think the Mom is the Rude in this scenario. First, she is buying the most passive-aggressive present ever- a gift certificate to JackLa Lanne's , probably sold with the "KEEP that New Year's Resolution THIS YEAR with this membership of only ninety nine cents per month" deal. Not only does she tell Dad he is a Fat, she gets to pocket the savings to upgrade tthe cable to digital and she gets Mr. Pale White Skin pulsing with big blue varicose veins and a sheath of curly black leg hair legs out of the house for a couple of hours, springing him on Slave and his lycra covered man-pals in the Nautilus room. Well, I suppose if there was a case for body hair, your dad's legs might be it.
And then Mom has the cajones to tell you, the SeasonalSock, what to buy Dad, so as to defray her own costs? Who the fuck wants to buy gym clothes as a Xmas present? Whgo wants to get them? What a gift. It really screams "Merry Christmas Dad from the whole family who thinks you are a giant Fat. SOrry the present sucks but Mom made us buy it. We included the receipt so you can go back to Target and get the plastic raft and fishing pole you really wanted." |

Yeah, that's not bad and would work out okay. Note the lengths gone to to make it look like a regular t-shirt. I'd go with grey or black.
This, however, would be unacceptable. |

Not me, my brother. I always got double portions of candy. It was the strangest thing . . .

while its a gift more for mom than dad, how's that different from when he bought her a teddy 20 years ago in a last attempt to rekindle something in the bedroom? people buy a spouse what they want the spouse to want.

I have a pair of prAna pants. They are the most comfortable workout pants I own.
