It's called the South Shaunzo and it's a Frat thing. Although I'm calling ******** on the cargo shorts. no one but GDIs wear them down here and Ole Miss is about as Fratty as it gets. PFG shorts have the pockets in front and may have been mistaken as cargo shorts. not the same.

Yes, I'm a northwesterner who has moved to the south. It's like studying a different culture. for the record, sperry's are comfortable as hell.

the whole experience was a little weird and creepy.

i can dig sperrys. and i think you're right about my confusion regarding the cargo shorts.

it was still all very creepy. i kept looking over my shoulder, anticipating the horror of a lynching or the like.
