Never saw this before...

This morning when I dropped my kids off at daycare, there was a mom and dad in front of me with their infant....and the mom and dad were wearing matching Vera Bradley type print shorts. Very bright pink. The mom told the daycare director that they were playing golf that morning, so I assume they wore matching outfits for that?

Why in the world would a man wear Vera Bradley type shorts for golf?!?!

Maybe he rode his horse to the park?

At least you had the decency not to take their picture and post it just in case we didn't believe you. Some folks in these parts would like to see this site become the next "People of the Parks," and that's something I strongly object to. Thanks for doing the right thing.

....there is no place to park his horse.

Were you sure, George, LOL?

See you guys, George and Doc in Dec maybe??

I only wear my spurs on the days we visit Magic Kingdom. That way I can hurry the horse along when I am riding the carousel.

I'm not sure what Vera Bradley shorts would be, but bright pink doesn't sound like anything and man should wear golfing or anywhere else.

Wouldn't spurs be considered a weapon?
Wonder how he got thru WDW security?

It would probably keep people from crowding him at the parades or in line.

His wife bought the outfits and he dosen't/can't say no

That was my first thought. The spurs might serve as an equalizer against strollers used as battering rams. I have to settle for kicking the offender in the ankle bone as they pass.

, so true...maybe the spurs are his first line of defense

 

[GeorgeG]

I wonder if I can get spurs that fit on my sneakers...

I would stay and chat, but I'm off to buy some spurs for our next WDW trip. Finally, I'll be able to watch parades in peace. Fortunately for me, Texas has no shortage of western wear stores.

My thoughts exactly

 

[locolala]

Spurs generally aren't that sharp. A pair of nail clippers would be sharper. My spurs are kind of permanently attached to my boots. They're mud-encrusted on, lol.

 

[horseshowmom]

Sounds like something my FIL would do. He seems himself as a "cowboy" but is anything but.

I know the type...

As locolala said, they aren't generally that sharp. Plus, his jeans were probably draped down over them so they weren't obvious.

Also, I feel like the odds are that checking for spurs isn't something that comes up very often for WDW security...

I was seated and noticed them from only 4-5 feet away. They were in plain sight with his jeans a few inches above them, but it's possible that security missed them from their standing position. They were dull, so they weren't really much of a hazaard, just odd to see in a place like Epcot.

The same day, my wife had to point out to a young lady that one of her ****s was hanging out. The girl did seem embarassed as she tucked it back in and thanked my wife for letting her know. WDW = a great place to people-watch.

Saw a guy wearing a similar, but fancier, cowboy outfit in NYC years ago. At the time, we thought he was likely "working".

There was a time during the "Urban Cowboy" era when NYC had the biggest country music radio station in the country. I used to play in a band at O'Lunney's on 2nd Ave. when they had country music every night of the year except Christmas. That was back in the late '70s, eraly '80s. That's all changed now, but you don't have to go very far outside the city to find horses and people in western wear. The urban sprawl is chasing that further away, though.

Cause you don't go threw a metal detector & those guards never look down

 

[GeorgeG]

I'd be willing to bet more people have been hurt by strollers than by spurs.

 

[bookgirl]

Okay around here I would not have thought twice if I had seen this, but at WDW, yeah maybe just a little out of place.
