Gondor needs no pants... but I do!

I went pants* shopping last night and one of the pairs I bought was on clearance for $7.77. I wouldn't normally buy red pants, but they were only $7.77. $7.77, I tell you! What a deal!

I know you don't freaking care, but neither have the other 75 friends, classmates, co-workers and strangers I have informed today. Everyone must know!

* Or "trousers" if you come from one of the keraaazy parts of the world where "pants" means underpants.

Yes. Trousers is the correct word. I wouldn't have thought $7.77 was particularly cheap for a pair of knickers.

As I have already stated elsewhere, I CARE!

Those are some nice red hot pants you've got there, Bunhead! Wanna kiss a wookie?

PANTS!

Have I told you about the time I was crashing on a couch and inadvertantly said the word "pants" in my sleep? ERiC and Erica were up making out as were Sig and John Henry. They were both startled to fine the other couple awake, but they all heard it....

How crazy is that? I, too, own red pants, all because of a fabulous mark-down: $11.99.

So what if I feel I can only wear them with brown or camel shirts? They were $11.99!

Yes, this brings up a good question. What can one wear with a pair of red pants?

Well, mine are actually more burgundy with a few thin red stripes. I wore them yesterday with a white shirt and a cream-colored sweater. I suppose I looked okay... I think I would also wear them with black.

I care as well.

Here's a pants story, which brings up the pants v. trousers thing. I was at a scientific conference that took place on an island, so of course we spent half the time on the beach. One night a bunch of us scientists were drinking on the beach (which was probably very much illegal, but anyway), some drunk guy we'd met that night was convinced that some people went into the Ocean and had drown. So my drunk friend Jen (who was my friend before) decided she'd go try to rescue them. She waded into the ocean (I was not there to stop her, or I would have) with her pants/trousers on and then realized she had to take her pants off if she was going to rescue these people. By then the drunk guy had yelled over to me and My New British Friend (who was originally part of My New British Friends, one of which was French). We wandered over to find Jen without her pants/trousers on. We all spent much of the time discussing why she wasn't wearing any pants/trousers and My New British Friend, he got very confused by us discussing Jen and her pants/underwear. That's it, that's the end of my story. It's a cultural anecdote.
