When you see a large fellow with a buzz cut wearing bib overalls, what do you think?

[Tobin S.]

[flvegan]

1. So long as he's not wearing a hockey mask/holding a chainsaw...

just another dude.

[Rosie1223]

2. Where I work

we call them customers.

But I laughed at your other choices!

:hi:

[Tobin S.]

4. You must work at the Tractor Supply store or maybe a truck stop

Serously, that's my outfit most of the time. I started wearing bibs because I used to perform a lot of manual labor, and being a chubby fellow, I had a hard time concealing my butt crack a lot of the time. I saw a similar sized fellow wearing bibs doing the same job one time and thought, "That's the ticket!"

I cut my hair down because it's more comfortable.

I get people commenting on the bibs sometimes, always in a positive way.

3. I think "Hey you look a lot like Senator John Tester!" (D-MT)

:D

[MiddleFingerMom]

5. No "other"? "Damn," thinks I, "Junior Samples sure has aged well."

6. The "other" option is implied

Feel free to other all you want. :)

[Kali]

7. honestly? farmer or trucker around here

but in town might be some kind of cow punker - bass player maybe:P

[Heidi]

8. None of the above, really.

It's more about how I see a person treating other folks (and yes, by "folks," I also mean non-humans). I don't see what overalls or a style of haircut have to do with the qualities important to me. :shrug:

[Tobin S.]

12. I'm just joking around Heidi

I am a large fellow with a buzz cut who wears bib overalls who also has a self-deprecating sense of humor. :)

[Rob H.]

9. I think of my great-grandfather

He was a farmer all his life and always wore "Dee-Cee" overalls. He even had a "Sunday go to meetin'" pair. :)

[elifino]

20. same here

[jobycom]

10. I start to sweat, and tremble a little bit, and look for a place to hide.

My father-in-law still scares me! :scared:

[Quantess]

11. A guy ready to get down to some greasy, dirty work.

You added that he's large, so I guess he eats as hard as he works.

[gvstn]

13. Mike Holmes from Holmes on Homes

[Orsino]

28. +1. n/t

[flying rabbit]

31. my first thought as well. n/t

[MilesColtrane]

14. I'd think he was a rice/soybean farmer.

That is the standard uniform for my relatives in Arkansas who farm.

(Of course, you'd have to get a John Deere hat too.)

[Arkansas Granny]

15. The fellow you describe wouldn't look out of place around here.

[bikebloke]

16. Junior Samples

[Ikonoklast]

17. "There's a guy that works for a living."

Just like me.

[Tobin S.]

18. Where are you currently, Ikonoklast?

I'm holed up in a hotel room out in Seattle awaiting a delivery appointment for tomorrow.

[Ikonoklast]

21. Home 20.

I usually have a return load to NE OH from central PA after a Monday AM delivery, a Monday evening P/U for Tuesday morning delivery, but the broker didn't have one this week, so I kicked off my stuff in Milton, PA yesterday and lit out for the house.

Half-assed looked on the load boards for a return load yesterday morning for an hour or so, didn't see one that I liked, so in the wind she went.

I had some minor work that needed done to the trailer that I had been putting off, a small bad spot in the aluminum duct floor that was poorly repaired before I got it, so it worked out pretty good as the guys at the shop needed it for a full day before I go out again.

I just got off the phone with one of the shop supervisors, and he gave me a 'good to go'.

So, I actually had an entire day off today at home...a cool, windy, rainy day, so me and the cats are curled up nice and warm watching National Geographic on the tube.

I see you got a decent room for your layover...it's amazing what a good bed and a long, hot shower can do for morale when out on the road for any length of time. Nice break from the saddle.

[Orrex]

19. Might he be a member of Bell Biv Devoe?

[Zavulon]

22. Why not ask a similar one about minorities and see how it flies?

Prejudice is prejudice, and it's always ugly - just like your post is.

[Tobin S.]

24. Go through the thread

I'm talking about me.

[jobycom]

25. See, you should have mentioned the gray hair, maybe he'd have gotten it.

You are prejudice against yourself. That's truly sad. :rofl:

[Zavulon]

26. Apologies.

I just see so much of that sort of thing directed at others that I react with kneejerk disgust.

Mea cupla.

[Tobin S.]

27. That's alright

Maybe I should have put more info in the OP. ;)

[av8rdave]

23. I think, "Wow, that fellow in the bibs with a buzz cut is large!"

[Brickbat]

29. I think it's Mr. Brickbat.

Although he's I read "large" as "tall," because he is. He wears overalls on the railroad.

[kentauros]

30. No buzzcut, but I'll be forever reminded of Billie Sol Hurok (John Candy)

of the Farm Film Report (SCTV) :D

[petronius]

32. How large is large? If we're talking Shrek-large I think "Damn, that's a big fella!"

If it's just average-large I think "That dairy science major better have kicked the manure off his boots before coming into my classroom..."

[Tobin S.]

33. lol!

:D

[AsahinaKimi]

34. HayStacks Calhoun?

Oh wait.. No buzz cut. My bad.

[peekaloo]

35. BR549

and he was funny!

[Callalily]

36. Oh gosh, without looking

at the author of this post, the first thing that popped into my head was Tobin! And I'm serious!

As someone stated above, you or anyone dressed as you described would not look out of place around here.

[old mark]

37. Well, if he looks Mexican, he's probably my brother in law...nt

[eShirl]

38. I think of giant bowls of cornflakes for breakfast

jugs of XXX white lightning
and cement ponds
