where is the thread where you can talk about the state of your trousers? Specifically: 'intolerable dampness' and 'hems coming undone'?

also: 'falling asleep in comfortable and soothing yet extremely public places - classic or dud?'

and: 'My life! In tatters!'

oh if only that were the case for me. why, not two days ago some jerk had the nerve to accuse me of having no ass - the injustice of it all!

where is the thread to complain about intolerable tweeness?

― ethan, Friday, 26 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I broke up with my boyfriend last night in a bar and fell in a ditch in the middle of the night on the way home, and I honestly can't take any more misery so do not read if you hate me.

― rainy, Friday, 26 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

How could anyone hate you, Rainy? But you have to admit that talking about "intolerable dampness" in yer trousers is, well, kind of an odd thread topic, no?

On second thought, maybe you should write the lyrics for the next Belle and Sebastian album.

― Tadeusz Suchodolski, Friday, 26 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh, the intolerable dampness is just in the bottoms of the trouser legs. there is a safety pin holding up the hem of the right one, and a sewing pin and a paper clip.

and I have hay in the pockets.

― rainy, Friday, 26 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Is it fresh hay? Will horses nibble on it? :-)

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 26 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

very old, dirty hay. the hay of Satan himself. his horses can eat it.

― rainy, Friday, 26 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Now how, praytell, did hay get into your pockets?

― Tadeusz Suchodolski, Friday, 26 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh, you know, just in the usual way.

I had a party at the gallery last night, with a country theme. I insisted apon actual hay. The hay was not as I expected it would be. I thought that hay would be golden and crispy but instead it was dusty and smelled of old hay. But we still sat on it because Paul actually went to some trouble to get it. He sort of stole it, but not really because he left money too.

I had to vaccuum up all the hay this morning. It was depressing, I cried the whole time. And I also said, 'stupid hay' a lot. The larger pieces of hay were getting caught in the vaccuum nozzle and making it not work properly, so I picked them up and put them in my pockets.

intolerable dampness in pants - very dunedin. i feel yr pain, rainy. hems undone i kinda like though, whats worst though is bad zippers. i have this pair of tweed flares that are miles too big for me, almost buildersbutt material, but anyhoo the fly always comes undone, i have to hold the fly up with a nappy pin - only safety pin i got - which is a downright nuisance for when yr in a hurry to urinate.

― di, Friday, 26 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've only got one pair of wearable casual pants right now. (Actually, I've got two, but I can't wear the other one because I don't have a good pair of black slip-on shoes to wear with them. My one pair of wearable slip-on shoes are brown, and those just don't look good with black jeans.)

― Christine "Green Leafy Dragon" Indigo, Friday, 26 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

rainy if i was there, i would lick the lampness from your pants

― Queen G, Saturday, 27 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I really want to hear rainy talk . sorry about your love mush rainy. and as for damp pants, as a pant peeing fella, I knwo about that !

― mike hanle y, Saturday, 27 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

my new computer just died and must be replaced!! I can send emails (maybe) but not receive them!! lots of ppl i like are sad or cross for various reasons — inc.rainy, sistrah becky, and my mum and dad, and othah ppl here, and ppl not here also – and i can do nothing about it. i am tweaking the full- length bangs-noise piece for sparks in stone lanes, which is reminding me i suppose of my argt and diffs with the wire, which is no fun, and i am generally feeling particularly He-Is-Alien-but-not-in-a-Good-Way today. i want to run away with rainy to sit on the lip of a volcano for 11 days, and throw pies into the heat and watching them flash into ash, and listen to the salanders sing as they swim lazily back and forth in the lava.

I HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS.

― N., Saturday, 27 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the knees are getting scuffed and there is some red paint on the right leg.

a metaphor for life?

― jel --, Saturday, 27 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sorry I couldn't be here earlier Rainbow, my home modern interweb is run by cowboys adnd one their eccentric stringy jackets has become lodged in the pinch-rollers, jamming the Webtron One until further notice.

I'll get an email to you as soon as I can.

― Graham, Saturday, 27 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS.

You have not done that with Rainy, though, so poo on you. Mark S = kind, also not a Nicole Kidman stalker. ;-)

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 27 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My trousers are all immaculate. I have immaculate trousers.

Ok, c'mon, how many Americans really call their pants "trousers"?

― Sean, Saturday, 27 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It now seems that while one of them was trying to dislodge the blockage he slipped and fell into a Letters 'A' Through 'E' holding tank and was overcome by fumes. Several other ranchhands rushed to his aid and he has now regained conciousness, hovever his stetson has become jammed in the sluice gate and the plant his been shut down for fear of an HTML explosion.A number of cowboys wearing protective coveralls are now trying to retrieve the hat (and a very fine hat it is) with their blogsticks.

Pants vs Trousers: FITE!

― Chupa-Cabras, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There's a difference? I know mine are too dirty when Lucy (my dog) starts licking'em.
Life in tatters? I am surrounded by friends and relatives who were recently widowed. My shoulders are wet with tears.

― nathalie, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pants are like Khakis, Trousers are wool or linen or other npn cotton materials.

― anthony, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

my trousers are now washed, dried, ironed and mended. I must say, I feel very good. Rather better than one might expect.

― rainy, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've noticed some blood stains that weren't there yesterday

― dave q, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i am now happy at rainys pants

― anthony, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And happy for Rainy. :-)

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Send her down my way if you're done with her, OK?

― Christine "Green Leafy Dragon" Indigo, Wednesday, 1 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ahem, "done with her" ?

― rainy, Wednesday, 1 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sorry, I'd neglected to read a few posts uplist to see if you were a real person or not. I'm very sorry about that.

― Christine "Green Leafy Dragon" Indigo, Thursday, 2 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

a common problem, maybe...people not knowing if rainy is a real person or not!

― elizabeth anne marjorie, Thursday, 2 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My main problem with trousers is that if they're long enough to fall in graceful folds and not show socks whilst sitting they are so long that the hems get trodden on and end up scuffed. Is it better to have good condition hems, but too short or the right length and scuffed?

― isadora, Thursday, 2 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Rainy is Very Real and Most Cool. :-)

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 2 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It is perfectly acceptable for your socks to show while sitting. Not while standing, of course. It is not acceptable for your pants to be so long that you trod on them while you walk. Seek the counsel of a professional tailor.

― Sean, Thursday, 2 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

dear Rainy, did u get my e-mail about the art stuff?

― jel --, Thursday, 2 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

dear jel, yes I did thank you very much. what I would love is the "oh no, mindmeld!" if you are agreeable to that, then I will send more details to yr email.

― rainy, Thursday, 2 May 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yeah! sure! no probs!
