Enough
Enough with the current event talk.
Random questions;
Are the Amish dull?
Pleats, in or out? I'm thinking out for the most part, but I am wearing them today.
How far will you drive to pay less for gas?
Can you setup a tent in the Wal-Mart parking lot? or must it have wheels?
Have you ever believed in ghosts, Bigfoot, or ufos?
Ia making a sex tape ever a good idea?

As you know, I'm a sucker for pant talk.
I own more pairs of pleats instead of flat fronts. Yeah flat is in, as the wife constantly reminds me. But I always carry my wallet and cell phone in my front pockets and pleats are better at hiding those items.
Pleats are a bit more comfortable too. F fashion. Err on the side of comfort.
I concur. I prefer some amount of pleat action, and cuffs as well. To hell with the latest trends is my motto. Its like the stock market; you can be a trend follower or a trend setter. Or, as in my case, you can exist in your own isolated universe of fashion.
But on a recent shopping expedition the wife lobbied hard against pleats, and won. You have to pick your battles.
I also happen to be aware of what a beating it is to shop with me, and was grateful for the moral support. The mall is my nemesis.
It had been many years since my last pant purchase. I used to work from home, and housepants were perfectly acceptable attire. But my new office job forced me to rethink my pant situation. I was concerned that coworkers would quickly discover that I was a one-pant man, and there would go any hope of credibility.
Where I'm going with this is, I was amazed at how much pant technology has changed in the last few years. I was beset with a baffling array of options. There were your standard cotton khakis to be sure, with or without pleats, with or without cuffs. But add to the mix stain-resistant fabrics, wrinkle-free fabrics, expandable waistbands, and every possible permutation of the above, and you have on your hands a veritable plethora of pant possibilities. The mind reels.
After hours of comparing and contrasting I settled on three of the lowest-tech, cheapest pants they had to offer, thereby quadrupling my pant supplies.
I probably shouldn't be so suspicious of pants though, I'll often spend top dollar for performance hiking clothes with bold claims like lightweight, breathable, waterproof, tear-resistant, and wicking. So wrinkle-free and stain-resistant doesn't seem so futuristic afterall.
