No shoes, no pants, no problem | Dave Molter | observer-reporter.com - Observer-Reporter Posted: 30 Aug 2020 09:15 PM PDT ![]() I admit that it was the headline that attracted me: "For Some Reason You Can Never See Their Pants." The way things are going in the Year of COVID-19 – and with political conventions hard upon us – I expected the story to reveal that the Trump sons thought the Republican National Convention was being held on Zoom and had appeared in their underwear. Unfortunately, that's not what the headline was about. It was about VSCO (pronounced "vis-co") Girls, who are named after VSCO, an app for photo editing and sharing. Probably you are unfamiliar with this term, as was I. Lauren Strapagiel explained the concept in a 2019 article on BuzzFeed: "Your typical VSCO girl has a very specific list of items – a Hydro Flask water bottle (possibly covered in stickers from Redbubble), a scrunchie around her wrist, a crop top from Brandy Melville or oversize tee, handmade friendship bracelets, a puka shell necklace, and Birkenstocks or Crocs." Don't worry that the story is a year old: VSCO Girls are still a thing. In a 2020 update on the VSCO Girl phenomenon, Heather Schwedel interviewed several teenage girls for an article that appeared in the online magazine, "Slate." "It seems like it's something that only exists on the internet, but there's a decent amount of them that I've actually seen in real life," 15-year-old Julia said. "Usually, we point them out to each other ... and we might laugh at them a little bit, just because they're so conformist. Their entire wardrobe is oversize T-shirts and Nike shorts." Another interviewee, Kelly, provided the headline: "You can never see their pants for some reason." I never forget the first time I couldn't see a girl's pants. I was 16, and my high school band was visiting the New York World's Fair in 1965. The band stayed in a high-rise hotel near the fairgrounds, and most of us stayed up very late because there were too few chaperones to wrangle us. Sometime well after midnight a drummer (it's always a drummer) startled the six brass players in our room by pounding on the door, which I opened. "You gotta see this!" the drummer said, quivering like a just-used trampoline. "The majorettes aren't wearing pants!" We stormed behind him to the roof of the hotel, where most of the 150 kids in the band had congregated, and threw the metal fire door open. In retrospect, we must have looked much like the picture on the poster for the Tom Hanks movies "Bachelor Party": seven guys bursting through a hotel room door to see the black nylon-clad legs of a woman, one of which is extended seductively while she sits on the end of a bed. Except there was no bed. Or nylons. Or any female older than 17. What we saw, instead, was a writhing mass of band members, both male and female. Most wore jeans or Bermuda shorts. We were unimpressed. Until … The head majorette (whose name I will not reveal in case she's running for political office) appeared as if in a dream. She wore a T-shirt that covered about half of her white cotton panties. Not far behind her came three more majorettes, similarly clad: I'll call them "Dasher," Dancer" and "Bambi." "Egad!" we cried in unison. Yes, even at our tender ages most of us had surreptitiously stolen peeks at "Playboy" centerfolds at the drugstore magazine rack. But these were three-dimensional females, and none of us – even those who had sisters – had ever seen a girl's panties except in the lurid lingerie section of a Sears catalog. It was an epiphany. As was one other thing we saw for the first time on that memorable trip: Coca-Cola in cans. Put on your pants, and I'll tell you all about it. |
Port Townsend Police Log | 80 proof pants - Port Townsend Leader Posted: 31 Aug 2020 08:12 AM PDT ![]() Port Townsend police received 161 calls for service from Monday, Aug. 10 through Sunday, Aug. 16. Below are selected reports. At 9:57 a.m. Aug. 10, a caller reported that they were the victim of a theft from one of their bank accounts. Upon further reflection, the victim told officers that they believed the thief to be a family member and said they would handle the matter personally. At 11:07 a.m. Aug. 10, an officer on patrol in the 2500 block of Sims Way noticed a woman he believed to have a warrant. The officer made contact with the woman, who falsely identified herself as another woman who also happened to have an active warrant for her arrest. The woman was arrested and booked into Jefferson County Jail. At 12:06 p.m. Aug 10, while on patrol in the 440 block of 12th Street, an officer noted a woman whom he believed had a warrant for her arrest. The woman was the same person who had been impersonated during an earlier police case. The woman was arrested without incident. At 8:21 a.m. Aug. 11, a woman was contacted for violating a trespass order in the 2300 block of East Sims Way. Officers arrived at the scene to find the woman's belongings strewn about the area. A behavioral health Navigator was called to the scene and contacted the subject to provide assistance. The woman was issued a citation for violating the trespass order but was not taken to jail. At 7:08 p.m. Aug. 11, the same female from the call at 8:21 a.m. was contacted by officers for again violating a criminal trespass order. An officer worked with the subject and her counselor to help figure out more stable living arrangement for the woman. At 10:49 p.m. Aug. 11, a caller reported hearing a man shouting profanities in the area of Adams Street and Clay Street but was unable to locate the individual. Officers arrived in the area to find a subject known to suffer from mental health and anger management issues. The responding officer observed that the subject appeared calm and opted not to make contact with the individual in order to avoid escalating the situation. At 1:39 p.m. Aug. 12, officers were called to a report of a man in the process of violating a no-contact order in the 1100 block of Water Street. The subject was reportedly refusing to leave and wanted to pass a note to the individual on the no-contact order. When an officer arrived at the scene, they were unable to locate the subject. The individual in question is known to police and probable cause was developed to file a criminal report. At 4:40 p.m. Aug. 12, a caller reported that she believed that she may be the target of a Craigslist scam. The victim, a selling party on the website, received $1,500 for an item listed at $150. According to police, this is a common tactic used by scammers who later ask for the selling party to return the extra cash by purchasing gift cards. At 11 p.m. Aug. 12, an employee of a store located in the 400 block of Sims Way requested a woman be trespassed for ongoing theft of alcohol and other items. Items stolen were identified through a video surveillance system. A report is being developed along with a receipt for the goods stolen. At 7:47 a.m. Aug. 13, officers received a report of a burglary and theft in the 2400 block of Cook Avenue after the caller reported about $500 worth of tools had been taken from a shed. At 2:37 p.m. Aug. 13, a caller reported a bicycle theft in the 1300 block of Washington Street. The victim reported that a blue-green child's bicycle that had been left outside their home had been taken within the last two hours. At 3:18 p.m. Aug. 13, a woman was reported to be looking rummaging through the caller's property in the 1800 block of 14th Street. It is unclear if the individual took anything. The woman was described as wearing a pink jacket and blue jeans. Officers arrived but did not locate anyone at the scene. At 11:28 p.m. Aug. 13, police received a report of a man in the 400 block of Sims Way attempting to take a bottle of alcohol by shoving it down his pants. An officer arrived on the scene and found the subject, who is known to police. The officer removed the alcohol and issued a citation for criminal theft and the individual was trespassed from the store. At 2:04 p.m. Aug. 14, a 76-year-old man was reported missing from the 1200 block of Hancock Street after he was last seen headed to the grocery store around 12:30 p.m. The subject was later located and taken back to his home. At 10 p.m. Aug. 14, police received a report on behalf of missionaries of a local church, who told the caller that they had been threatened by an individual who said, "If you don't stop talking to me, I'm going to kill every one of you." At. 8:53 a.m. Aug. 15, a caller reported to police that they had found a wallet, syringes and a container with a white powdery substance in the 4900 block of Landes street. Officers arrived and took custody of the items for destruction. No identifying information was found in the wallet. At 10:52 p.m. Aug. 15, a victim reported seeing a suspicious person around 9 a.m. near their business' bay doors in the 3100 block of Jefferson Street. It was later discovered that multiple tools had been taken along with some $200 in cash. Security cameras are being reviewed and it appears that the subject may have used a marina cart to haul off the tools, with a value estimated at $1,000. At 5:13 p.m. Aug. 15, Port Townsend police assisted in search-and-rescue efforts after a family visiting from Oregon reported their 18-year-old son had gone missing. The family was reportedly walking toward McCurdy Point Glass Beach when the 18-year-old ran ahead of the group and became separated. At approximately 5:36 p.m. the missing 18-year-old was found. At 5:38 p.m. Aug. 15, police received a report of two men openly smoking meth in the 600 block of Hancock Street. The subjects reportedly offered to share the drugs with the caller and her juvenile daughter. Response by police was delayed due to search-and-rescue efforts in the area of North Beach County Park. At 9:15 p.m. Aug. 16, a man was reportedly playing loud music and exhibited difficulty speaking at a McDonald's in the 300 Block of Sims Way. When asked to leave, the subject refused. The individual was arrested for DUI and taken to jail. Officers applied for a warrant to conduct a blood draw, due to the individual refusing to submit to BAC testing. |
Overreaction Monday: College Football is Back, and So is The Pants - Black Heart Gold Pants Posted: 31 Aug 2020 05:05 AM PDT ![]() We live in sad, complicated, frustrating times. On Saturday night at 8pm CT, the first college football game of the year kicked off. It was an FCS game featuring two teams most Hawkeye fans don't care about and some have never even heard of, but it was college football and it was live. It wasn't a replay of some great game or a video game simulation, real live college football was on our TV screens. Like everything else, it was bittersweet. College football, we can all likely agree given this is a community of fans of Iowa sports, is good. We enjoy it. We like watching it and more, not less, of it is what we would prefer. So having it back on our televisions was a good thing. I sat in my living room, kids in their beds, with a cold beverage and simply enjoyed watching what was an objectively not great football game. There were missed tackles. There were penalties. There were turnovers. There were digital whistles that came super late. There were a LOT of incomplete passes. It. Was. Sloppy. But there was also a tight end with a neck roll truck-sticking defensive backs. There was a turnover top hat and staff. There was a tight end with a neck roll truck-sticking the opponent's equipment (I think it was a giant AC unit?) 8 yards out of bounds. There was three quarters of QB pooch punts, including some coffin corner dimes. There were some great catches and hard hits and big runs and everything we love about the game. With all the bad came the good and we were reminded why we love watching college football so much. It was glorious.
But as much as I enjoyed watching, I couldn't help but be reminded that our beloved Hawkeyes won't be doing that next weekend. They won't be doing it the weekend after either. As far as we know, the earliest they could be doing it is Thanksgiving and even that is a stretch at this point. As miserable as it is to think about college football without Iowa playing, it is equally miserable to be watching a college football game and thinking to yourself, "not only is it frustrating and disappointing that we won't get to watch Iowa do this, it's impossible to even write about it without the bickering." I had a similar thought when the news broke last week that several Big Ten coaches were supposedly on the phone working on bumping the planned January start date up to Thanksgiving. I am a college football fan. I am an Iowa Hawkeye fan. The idea of getting to watch the Hawkeyes play football at any point during this God forsaken year is a breath of fresh air. But any insinuation that such joy may be felt is met instantly with pushback from a subset of the community. "There isn't going to be a season." "They shouldn't be playing anyway." "We wouldn't be in this situation if XYZ." The flip side is also true. Any mere mention of the fact we aren't having a fall season, or that the changes that have occurred make it almost impossible for games to not look like what we saw on Saturday night or that a spring season, if it were to be played, will be stripped of loads of talent that will leave for the NFL and will have lasting impacts on players who will be left playing virtually a calendar year straight and you're hit instantly with any number of reactions. "These kids are more likely to die from alcohol than COVID." "It's safe enough for them to be on campus but not on the field?" "This will all go away come November." And on. And on. And on. On both sides. It's deafening and it's maddening on both ends. There is nothing that can be said or done in the current environment without it immediately devolving into politics. This is an Iowa Hawkeyes fan site. It is run by fans, for fans. This isn't a political site or the local news channel's website or your uncle's Facebook page. We aren't reporting on anything that inherently should be political and we certainly are doing our best to keep any of our staff's own political views out of anything posted to the site. We ask that you do the same. It's a sad, frustrating and divided world out there. That holds true regardless of your personal political views, your experience with COVID-19 or your take on how schools, athletic departments and the like should be proceeding. Beginning this week, college football begins its true return. Following Central Arkansas's 24-17 win over Austin Peay in week 0, there are nearly a dozen games spread from Thursday to Monday this weekend. None will involve the Iowa Hawkeyes or any other Power 5 program. We will still be talking about college football. We will also be starting our look back at some great games in Iowa history, watching them as if they are live each week and covering them through both the lens they were originally viewed and through our newfound context. We know the outcomes already, but we're watching nonetheless. We're doing these things because we are a fan site for Iowa athletics. This is supposed to be a reprieve from the realities outside the sports world. As those outside realities continue to creep inside our sports bubble, it is difficult to separate the two, but when it comes to this site we must. There is a no politics policy for a reason. It's a simple one: when comment devolve into politics nobody leaves happy. This community was built on the fun camaraderie of Iowa fans talking about Iowa sports and leaving everything else out of it. Let's get back to that and enjoy what little escape we can create from that sad, complicated, frustrating world all around us. |
Quin Snyder mocked over his super skinny pants - Larry Brown Sports Posted: 30 Aug 2020 10:23 PM PDT Brock Lesnar's contract with WWE has expired, making him a free agent. Mike Clevinger has been a peripheral figure for the Cleveland Indians since he broke safety protocols. The team is denying that it led to him being traded, however. The Big Ten tried to put to rest more questions about the conference's decision to postpone the college football season. After dismantling inferior opponents in the first round, the Milwaukee Bucks and Miami Heat are primed to deliver one of the most entertaining second-round series this postseason. The Bucks finished atop the Eastern Conference for the seco Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James is expected to miss significant time with an injury he suffered in practice on Sunday. Naturally, that has led to speculation that the team may be interested in Earl Thomas. The New York Mets were among the teams making big moves ahead of Monday's trade deadline in MLB. |
