This reads like an Onion article, but from the Wall Street Journal. Is this for real? Are cargo shorts really out of style? As bad as a fanny pack?!? No way... I'm confused... So what do "cool" or "in" shorts look like?

True. Heard it on NPR. The tighty, athletic look is "in".
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

Pleasant Grove, Utah at the leading edge of fashion? A Ph.D. thesis about cargo pants?
Yes, it is for real. Just another sign that the end is near.

OH NO! Well I need help then. Please. Before I get LAUGHED off the mountain in my cargo shants! I did a quick google image search for "athletic man shorts" which possibly revealed some more "in" styles.
I was tempted to post some of the pictures, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Search for yourself if you're curious. Is this what I need to be wearing to be cool these days?! Half joking half serious here. I must be getting old or something...

Except on me! Besides, where would I carry my phone and knife, and other "cargo"?

Why in an unfashionable fanny pack, of course.

Good luck finding shorts that aren't cargo shorts. Maybe by next year the retailers will have finally caught on.
Cargo shorts have been OUT for two years now, it's just taken everyone forever to notice. Cargo shorts guy will be the next Pemco "We are the NorthWest" commercial. Frankly, cargo shorts guy and socks w/sandals guy are essentially the same person. Fortunately the majority of our female population are not afflicted with this condition.

It's about utility = my station wagon with cargo space and backpack with 5 pockets and folding knife with 5 blades, etc.. Utility. The girls should also wear utilities to carry their lipstick and hair spray.

There are these http://www.forestry-suppliers.com/search.asp?cat=138.
I got one but it's kind of smelly and dirty and has some holes starting.

1. So you don't have to take your pack off for every little thing.
2. So you can walk around without your pack on and still have some stuff handy.

I use 'em for trash... mostly empty energy gel pouches or bar wrappers. That's pretty much it though. I sure don't use 'em for "cargo".
