You got a flare for the dramatic, Lamar!

Okay boys, some of you have never been in a big-time protest march before, so pay close attention.
We’re gonna walk through town waving these burning flares and it will be awesome!
Remember, these industrial flares are extremely volatile and dangerous, and they can go off in an instant, so safety above all.
Everybody, put on your protective suits and hard hats.
Now, do you all know Lamar over there? He’s the guy with no hard hat and his suit is unzipped.
If you need more flares, get ‘em from Lamar. He just keeps ‘em in his pants.

“Exploding in my jeans” has a brand new meaning..
Lamar is one badass dude! Hard hat? Psshaw… more like hard head!
And he is a southpaw too, that’s my people yo!
as does “Hot Pants”
but seriously, how do I get one of those coats? ooh, shiny!
I’m assuming this is the “Before” picture…
“Is that a flare in your pants, or are you just really glad to see me?”
Yeah Sarabelle, of course this is the before shot. I don’t think I can publish the after shot, and if I do, no chicks will be able to comment on it…
Not the first time I’ve seen something volatile in a guy’s jeans…
Only after a few shots Unca
Now, when someone told him he should wear flared pants, he really just got the wrong message.
fwd, that was a cracking comment!!!!!!!!!!!!! Still laughing my a** off!
Hopefully he’s not the latin hot-blooded type…
Unca, you’re assuming two things…a) girls think Ricky Martin is hot and b) we didn’t already know….
a) He doesn’t do a thing for me sweetheart and b) I pretty much knew all along. I have a good sense about these things. Except for the bartender who has been flirting with my friend for the last oh, six months. I found him on facebook and wow…he broke my radar!!!
E.
OOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Irish eh?
See, I told you those blokes were charming…
I think he was flirting just so we’d buy more drinks and come back more often. Little does he know that we frequented the place long before he ever started to flirt with her, and we’d still frequent it if he ever left!
Silly man. Tsk tsk.
E.
ha ha ha…. well, give him points for trying…
I am becoming socially inept… making really bad faux pas… need help… pronto…
Shra, what fdo you mean? I thought you and PilotGuy had it all sorted out: he swims, you wear red stilettos, and who needs all the sweet talking?!?!
Well, M… really, dont get me started on Mr.Pilot’s promises! He aint swimming, I aint modelling.
Gosh darn it.
Bravo good sir, bravo! Quite an engaging tale indeed!
Still doesnt get you off the hook, Mr.Pilot…
