JRDelirio:
Emily may have directly, though innocently, said to Claire "and make sure you bring your brother, too".
And yes, I attribute the high popularity of the men's board shorts and the scorn for the banana-hammock in America to self-consciousness about our somewhat suboptimal physiques (= we're fat), so if you don't look like Greg Louganis or Michael Phelps, why wear a style that further draws attention to how badly you don't. (OK, I could have said we feel we don't want a style that exposes how we come up short, but that could be interpreted other ways...)
DSL:
Speaking as someone who prefers to wear baggy shorts AND a shirt to the beach ... yeah. However, my friends who've vacationed across the pond report that suboptimal physiques are no barrier to budgie smuggling. Or maybe there are fewer hangups (edit: heh) about it east of the Atlantic.
And I do love the contributions to wordplay found on this forum.

After a moment's thought I took it as short for buddy, rather than the other (and its implications) - otherwise I would have commented, for sure.

That is what I would consider to be a normal swimming costume for men, although possibly more common for children and professional swimmers I guess.

Jeez. Can we not joke here anymore? Just a little joke, though in poor taste, of how Marten has dated a wide array and very different women, personality wise and ethnic group wise and a strange Asian could be next on his list. And the fact that I love asians in general anyway. :angel:
As for the swim choice of Clinton. Never understood the appeal of those types of swimsuits outside of competitive swim. Can't stand the design. Pretty much the sam reason I don't wear tighty whitties. Waaaayyy to confining and uncomfortable.
As for Emily bikini hopes, I think her suit will turn out to be what Hanners will if its a bikini at all. One of those conservative tops that doesn't flash much and the short short boyshort style of bottoms with the skirt thing design over the top.
