Singing the praises of PANTS!

[captain_slinky]

The crotch ripped out of my Cargo Shorts yesterday, officially leaving me PANTSLESS.

Well, not *entirely* pantsless... I've still got a pair of too-large slacks and 2 pairs of Sweat Pants, plus 3 pairs of swimming trunks. But as far as "Go Out in Public" pants are concerned, I have none :( They are all (a) damaged beyond my repair ability and/or (b) way too large for me to waste too much time worrying about since they'll never fit me proper again anywho.

Wow! Not even the Hulk was man enough to bust out the crotch on his purple pants! Now I know what your wife sees in you! Heh Heh!!!

In the showers at The Gym, they call me "The Human Tripod".

Got a sewing machine? Maybe you could take some of them in? Or find someone who would take them in for you.

Unfortunately, they all have really weird rips in the crotch. Like, because I was so big the fabric in the crotch became threadbare and eventually ripped nowhere near a seam :(

There's no shame in wearing a garbage bag for pants. Actually, there's a ton, but I think it would be hilarious.

I can sympathize. I ripped the ass out of my last good pair of pants last... Friday? That's what I get for dancing. Sheesh. Actually they were incredibly worn for having bought them in February (I bought two pairs, even, and the other one the ass ripped out as well - though that one did it down the seam - what're they trying to say to me?). I have a few other pairs of pants that will pass in public, but there's not much that I can match them with. And they make me look like I have a penis. And, well, I don't. BUT I HATE BUYING PANTS OMG. It's an all-day adventure nightmare. gahhhh. so anyway. yeah, it sucks.

Hmmmmmmmmm...

I agree Kilts are the way to go. Just change your name to Mcslinky. There is always the option of an oak barrel and suspenders.

Only if the oak barrel has "XXX" on it.

Okay, now that just sounds like an invitation to make a Halloween costume!

Great story! When my friend lost a LOT of weight she used to email these great updates to all her friends; one such story included a tale of when she was walking down the sidewalk and her pantyhose fell completely down! She walked into a store, tore them off and stuffed them in her bag. When embarrassing things happen for good reason, it's a great story. I just bought myself a pair of jeans so that now I have more than 1 pair that fits too.

I vote for the codpiece too. Bring it back!
