Way to many gay references on here concerning chaps. Just because 1 guy did on the Village people does not make everyone who wears them gay. I believe there is a forum for you guys to express those opinions, something like butt police.com

Down south in Houston we wear chaps and thank God for leather. We leave the leather pants for the boys down in the Montrose part of Houston.

I believe there is also a forum for guys that cry because some people don't think they look cute in their chaps. I heard it was something like www.butthurt.com

It's honestly not that hard telling what gay looks like.

Here's a test...



Gay or not?

Not all gay people wear chaps and not all people that wear chaps are gay.

Things can look gay without the person really being gay (like wearing chaps for instance), but in Richard Simmons case he looks it and is definately gay.


That is the gay lesson for today, next week we will learn about trailering while wearing fingerless gloves.

I can't wait for the week after, when we learn whether we really should pick synthetic or dino oil, and which exhaust we should be going with.

Mastery, those lessons have been put off until next summer so we can get more opinions on them. We only have 10,569,732,146 opinions so far.

The lessons about R.U.B.s and dew rags (and how to tie them) have been scheduled in their time slots instead for our reader's enjoyment.
