sentient pants

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?"
