Boardies vs Budgies

Time to burn the budgies
By Lisa Davies and Dora Tsavdardis
November 22, 2004
WHETHER you call them Speedos, budgie smugglers or sluggos, the message is clear - boys, ditch them now and get into a pair of board shorts.
Speedo man v boardies man ... Cesar Marti and Matt Pearson at Bondi Beach / Craig Greenhill
Sydney women have had enough of men prancing about in the tiny swimmers, according to The Daily Telegraph's survey of sun-lovers.
"Men who wear Speedos should be culled or arrested for indecent exposure," Christine Pappas said, as Deirdre Flynn added: "Speedos are too tight and you don't want to see their bits hanging out everywhere. They're just not nice at all."

Do any normal australian blokes wear speedos :scared: Any self respecting surfer would'nt be seen dead in them.
The only aussies who got away with it were the surf club guys rowing out with the speedos tucked up crack of ass, true before anyone faints, its to get better grip on seat while rowing.
Most be all these poms getting about in them :scared:

Perhaps its not women they are trying to impress by wearing speedos, Sydney is known as the worlds second most gay city behind San Francisco.

Even scarier is Tamarama (aka glamarama) where blokes wear Gbangers.:scared:
Most surfers wear boardies although there is an old bloke out there in his red sluggos every day no matter the water temp.

I voted for smugglers, just to be different... They're becoming a rarity now - can't remember when I last saw a man in them, apart from swimming competition and magazines.

Re: Boardies vs Budgies
Im with MrsJTL, well when it comes to Dagboy anyway! He wears them, I love them on him!
Of course that pic is just slightly skewed to add credibility to the story- who would chose the short bald old bloke with leathered skin & extremely hairy legs over the young fit athletic guy standing next to him?

BOARDIES!!!!!!
It's just what you're used to though.... If all guys wore speedos it would be normal... But these days only 'old' guys wear them!
I've bought myself some girl-boardies... love it! No bits of flab hanging out for me either!
And not as much need to do bikiniline so securely

Anyone that comes close to my dad's age..... I think you might be just to young for that, so you miss out!
I can just call you wierd But I'm not important, Mrs D is, and she's happy, so that's good!

I've only got a small one, especially if I've been swimming and I don't want to highlight that fact with Speedos.

It's got to be boardies. Though there are good boardies and bad boardies.
Good ones IMO don't extend past the knee (for movement) and are soft to touch (reduces chafing).
The fashion with the kids is to wear them low on the waist with the label of your CK boxers showing. Daft.
