I don't know how I ended up in this part of the forum, but that is hardcore.

I know you can sentence a sailor to bread and water, but damn I've never actually seen it done.  And I've seen some shit.

Are you blaming the Uggs on the Navy?

I wore my Uggs on the ship once. 

Yes, I was appropriately ridiculed.  But, no bread and water.  And f those guys if they don't recognize style when they see it...I don't conform to your rules!
