captainsunshine Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hey y'all! I'm bored, and nothing would cheer me up more than seeing Bob Weir in full short shorts glory! If any of you have any pictures of ol' Bobby sporting his extremely short and above all AWESOME shorts, I would love to see them! Please help me out! I'll start us out with a few of my favorites.. (Complete with fanny pack!) (..not once, but TWICE!) (take notice of how his socks almost match his shirt..) (maybe the shortest I've seen..) By the way, if you're wondering if I'm obsessed with the short shorts, the answer is YES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bONES Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 hey captain ... hope your gloom turns to sunshine soon I thought I'd throw in some variety and add some pics of Kevin Rosen (knowing you are as big a starhead as I am) who also LOVES his short shorts! ...here's a few to get ya going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainsunshine Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Oh hell yeah!!I had no idea of Kevin's love for the short shorts! That definitely makes me smile!At a free show DSO played in Yellow Springs this past summer, some friends and I brought some scissors up to the stage and asked a jeans-clad Rob Eaton if he would give us the pleasure of some man-made short shorts and he laughed at us and said no.. Now I know who to go to when in need of the short shorts visual along with the music!!Thanks! That's awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phorbesie Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 LOL...just found this, it came up on urbandictionary while i was looking for a pic:1. Weirs A pair of very short shorts worn by a male in the style of Grateful Dead guitarist Bobby Weir. Preferably with "Ranger Rick" style pockets on the side, but plain khaki will suffice. Normally attired during the summer months and accompanied with a tank top.Friend 1: Hey dude, check out these new shorts. Good thing I have tan thighs.Friend 2: Totally, sweet pair of weirs!

That's just plain awesome! Definitely going to be a big part of my vocabulary now! Haha! :grin: Anyways, after a lot of research, a friend of ours thinks that this is the first Bobby short shorts sighting (even though they're not as short as I prefer, but they have a heady slit up the side that satisfies).. It's Egypt 1978.. If any of you have any earlier proof of the short shorts, I would love to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balogna pogna Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 It seems there is enough support for a designated "Bobby Forum", with "Bobby's Shorts" as a sub forum. Not to mention that I read 2008 is the year of the Rat-dog on a Chinese restaurant placemat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainsunshine Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I think I'm the only one having fun with this.. But that's ok, I'll amuse myself! :crazy: And if you think Bobby was the only one to enjoy the short shorts, you're wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bONES Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) hey captain..did you take this pic yourself? It looks like Shoreline (Mountain View, CA) from May `92, I was there for those shows and took some pics and it looks a lot like one that I took! (well, except a lot better!!! haha) Those were the last Grateful Dead shows I saw before getting busted at the border a couple weeks later Edited January 22, 2008 by Guest It was morning and i was still asleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha!And I sure hope this border thing works itself out before summertime! I'm looking forward to seeing you at lots of DSO shows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bONES Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 these may not be as short as you like them captain, but it's from the last time Bobby played Toronto (Halloween 2005)..were you and Baj there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baj Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 no I was sick as a dog returning from vegoose that night arriving in toronto to find that aircanada lost my luggage, it wasn't a good night... plus the captain and I didn't even know each other at this point... I was hoping to make that show though until the above happened... great pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainsunshine Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 the captain and I didn't even know each other at this point...Nope, I hadn't ever been to Canada at that point!Great picture though! Every time I've seen Bobby in the past few years, he's teased me with those almost-short-shorts! Someone needs to remind him how awesome he looks in cut-offs, and maybe he'll break them out again soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
