Shirts vs. Skins

What is the longing running game of shirts vs. skins in history? This article offers some insight into the (not-so-)age-old divide. I locates the origin of Shirts-skins in the 40s, but I think that Skins have been around since Adam, and Eve may have been first Shirt (in the ideological sense, since behaviorally the Shirts/Skins divide is really only something that plays out amongst men).

So what am I? It depends. If I must adopt the Author's linear view of history to be a Shirt, then count me as a Skin, please. At least ideologically.

I'm so glad I found the new blog. I had The Rambler feeding into my google reader and thought you'd disappeared. Thank heaven for facebook!
