sentient pants

[moominmolly]

Mostly I am posting to say "hee hee, new icon". Google image search brought me this, and ladytabitha gracefully iconized it for me. Whee!

But anyway, back to the subject. My pants. These pants are wonderful -- floppy, soft, olive-drab, full of pockets, the works -- they just don't like me. Whenever I break down and wear them (so soft!), they FLING themselves off me. The zipper will SHOOT down to the bottom and the pants will beg me to take them off. Seriously. I've loaned them out to other folks, like veek, and dilletante has certainly worn them. Nobody else reports this behavior. When I say, "really? the pants let you wear them? they don't try to crawl off?" I get one of those Looks that says "nooooooo.... why?"

I've worn your pants and don't remember it? Wild! Makes me wonder what other things you and I have done together that I don't remember.

I can't tell you! That would be telling.

ANYway, you wore them in Amsterdam. :)

for more typographic goodness.

What kind of pants are they, exactly?

I bet there's a market for self-removing pants.

I was gonna say ... I bet David appreciates those pants.

Actually, we took up a collection and we pay the pants well for their services.

Thank you, pants! ;-)

Shhh, you weren't supposed to tell her! Can we start a collection to pay off other items of her wardrobe too?

What's funny is that I find money left in the pockets of these pants more than any other pairs.

Cool. M-double-dot is obviously the acceleration of Molly.

RAAAAAAAA!

[moominmolly.livejournal.com]

Because I clearly needed to be accelerated.

Your pants are taking themselves off you?

And this is a problem because like why?

"Look! It's the See-Through Girl!"
"She can make her clothes invisible with a single thought!"
"Gee, I wish I could make MY clothes invisible with a single thought!"

maybe you could train them to crawl off of anybody and hide. And then lend them out to people you want to... errr... eat yoghurt with! yeah, yoghurt. mmmm, yoghurt....
