Tymp, how about this…buy one pair of each. After a few rotations, you should have a good idea of which you like better, which one others like better, and probably most importantly which is more comfortable.  
Sound wishy-washy? Sometimes wishy-washy is your best route.

If you’re anything like the men I know, you don’t like to spend a lot of time trying clothes on…but if it’s really important to you then maybe an afternoon of serious shopping is in order.

You know you’ll look your very best in what _you_ like best. The comfort and confidence factor, don’t you know.

**struuter** , you are quite correct, of course. Comfort and confidence is all. Hence, from this point forward, I shall wear no pants at all.

**struuter** , thanks again. I do have to live with this nut, you know. It’s bad enough that he doesn’t wear pants at work, but at least he dons them when he comes home. Next he’ll be covering himself in butter again. Where’s **Scylla’s** goat when you need it?

Nen, I was not aware that you lived with Tymp. As was I also unaware of any penchant for butter slathering or its involvement with goats.

I don’t know what to say about any of that.

But I will say that your house sounds like a very interesting place to live.
