Is Your Child a Lax Bro?

Written By Mike Ntobi on Thursday, June 14, 2012 | 11:09 PM

Parents: is your child a student at an elite New Jersey or Long Island all-boys prep school? Does your child enjoy "hanging out" and listening to O.A.R.? Is your child named "Trip," or something? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, your child may be a lax bro. 

What is a lax bro? you are probably asking, right now. Not asking: screaming! WHAT IS A LAX BRO you are screaming, at this computer, while clawing at your face. Be quiet for one second and let the Boston Globe explain:

lax bros - short for "lacrosse brothers"

Lacrosse brothers! Who are these brothers of lacrosse? How do they wear their hair? What music do they listen to? What words do they use to denote things they like?

Older lax bros - short for "lacrosse brothers" - tend to offer similarly vague definitions of the phenomenon, but it is easy to spot them. Lax bros display a certain understated confidence that critics call arrogance. They wear their hair long, a look known as "lettuce." They dress in colorful board shorts, flat-brim hats, and bright half-calf socks. They carry lacrosse sticks, or "spoons," on and off the field.

Everything good is "chill," especially chillin', a favored activity that often includes listening to the music of O.A.R., Dispatch, and Dave Mathews.

What is the chillest thing about being a lacrosse brother? Definitely it's wearing the traditional lacrosse brother garb of a t-shirt with a lacrosse-related saying on it, such as, for example, "laxbro," "#laxlife," or "Entering Laxachusetts," which is now the official name of the former Commonwealth of Massachusetts ever since one of the roving lacrosse brother militias broke into the Massachusetts State House and shouted rude things at Deval Patrick until he agreed to shotgun a beer. 


Here's another chill thing about being a lacrosse brother: spending like one zillion dollars on all of the equipment. "You have to have a lot of the stuff, wear it a lot of the time," Beau Keough, 9, tells the Globe. The names of his brothers (biological, not lacrosse): Zander and Cameron. "Lacrosse is cool," Beau adds.

Many lacrosse players are "gear heads" - they collect a variety of sticks, using some for games and others for hanging out with their lax bro buddies.

There are lacrosse players who do not have have to brush the "lettuce" out of their "chill" eyes when they play with their "spoons." There are lacrosse players who even play lacrosse at public schools! And lacrosse players who are not particularly rich. There is a feeling among fans of the game lacrosse that "the identity exudes a preppie/frat-boy image that glorifies elitism and wealth, and values flash over hard work."

Perhaps those people do not understand lacrosse brotherhood. What does it mean to be a lacrosse brother? The Globe asks Chris MacKay, 21, who is "taking a break from sports and studies at Hobart College in New York." A lacrosse brother "plays a lot of lacrosse, enjoys hanging out, being sort of lackadaisical... Everyone has their own opinion of a lax bro. That is mine." That is Chris MacKay's opinion of a lacrosse brother.

Pants have been a highly fashionable item since they were first designed and they are a very important piece in anyone wardrobe regardless of the season.The exc . [url=http://www.chanelbagsfashionstore.com/#96424]channel uk[/url] As you ride in the rain, a Tourmaster Jett 2 Jacket would hold you from making wet because it is water proof.I have found that nothing is really necessary at the beach because DS will only go in ankle deep by himself (and I'm sure the water here is much warmer than Myrtle Beach).
Classic motorcycle jackets that include a belt opt for a half belt more often than not, with a large buckle in the front.For example, if I am not good at the 30,000 feet big picture solving and I need that ability for my role, I will then manufacturer a weakness specific to that non-talent. [url=http://www.chanelbagsfashionstore.com/#45374]channel uk[/url] What famous golfer is associated with the creation of the Augusta National Golf Club? In 1930 Bobby Jones won what was then the "Grand Slam" of four major tournaments as an amateur -- and then retired and led the effort to build the beautiful and challenging golf course and club in Augusta Georgia.I think the trick is being well prepared - lots of toys, formula/food, blankets for napping, etc.
However, frameless shower doors provide a neat and classy solution for this.To be honest, feeling like I've been slapped in the face, I gained a valuable consciousness that over the internet, cheap prices should equally be valued to great service by merchants, just in case, in an unfortunate event like the above example, where consumers didn't receive the product, they can really look forward of kind assistant through great customer service. http://www.chanelbagsfashionstore.com/#72284 Nonetheless they are still important .You could sew on or glue patches of your favorite music group or logo.

The best fabrics to keep you warm are wool and cashmere.Don forget warm socks - wool, of course, is best. [url=http://www.fashiongucciloutlet2012.com/#31555]gucci bags sale[/url] Snag a pair of jeans and secure that baggy waist with a wide belt at the hips.Casey helped the other elves by running to get some more blue and yellow paint and by picking up dropped nails.
For some men denim suits are the order of fashion that allows them to layer their clothing with textures and designs that add to their image.If you are into Coach purses you will be lucky if you can find one for less than $200, but with my favorite purse, I can get 6 or 7 different bags for the same price and I will never get bored with it. [url=http://www.fashiongucciloutlet2012.com/#54675]gucci outlet[/url] However, your priority should be to assess which features are the most important to enable you to take the best pictures.Integrating jacket in the get-up will not give you headache.
So, I say, you reap what you sow, and they DESERVE it.The print is what keeps on changing as fashion changes. http://www.fashiongucciloutlet2012.com/#17866 Leave a soft, oversize sweater loose or add a belt to create a flattering shape.An one half belted one or even a long slick style might be a good addition to the wardrobe.
