More specifically, a particular pair of jeans.  
Last I recall, they were on the bedroom floor. They’re not there now. They’re not in the laundry, and they’re not in the wardrobe.

😕😕😕

If your jeans are walking away by themselves you should probably wash them more often.

Either that, or the SDMB hampsters are tired of eating posts and have moved on to eating threads.

**crickets**

Get it? Threads, like in clothes? See it’s a pun, or play on words…

Never mind.

If the ‘post’ time is correct, it’s the middle of the day for you. And you JUST realized you don’t know where your pants are?? What the devil have you been doing all day w/o your pants on?  
Naughty boy.

And if I were you I’d check the top of the door, that’s where I hang mine sometimes.

That two-drawer chest where you sometimes throw things when you take 'em off? Check _behind_ it. That’s where my tuxedo-front shirt was.

Recovering 😉 (But I’ve made it to work now. In different jeans.)

You do realise how unflattering that admission is? 😛

You loaned them to your sister, remember? She was going to that party and needed a faaaabulous pair of jeans? Well…she ended up in a bedroom with some guy and…  
That’s where your jeans are.

You left them at Mornington Crescent.

Ah, so we were right about her and Tom?

Still, don’t think she’d have worn my jeans. Except as a joke.

How dare you insinuate that my gameplay is anything less than scintilating!!! :eek:

Will no one think of the denim?!

If it were me, they’d be under a tumbleweed-sized ball of dog hair in the footwell of the car.

(No, I don’t get a lot of requests for rides home from work, now that you mention it…)
