"Shirts" versus "Skins"

There was a time many years ago when the guys in the neighborhood would play a pick-up game of football or basketball. One team would keep on their shirts and the other team would take theirs off. "Shirts" versus "Skins" was the easiest way to designate who's who on a crowded playing field or playground court.

Today, after several successful BFL-challenges, I'm no longer embarrassed to be asked to go bare-chested in public. When I'm mowing the lawn or working in the yard, I take off my shirt. Because now I'm trying to work on a tan for my AFTER photos.

Yeap, I'm living LARGE -- versus size XL or XXL -- and I want to be "SKINS."

It's time to stock up on the sun screen.
