More appropriately, it’s Jerry’s “Look to the cookie!”. 😛

Actually, the one I say most often is George’s "I’ve got nothin’ ".

I’m sorry, but the pants you describe are not queer, just metrosexual.

[_These_ are queer looking pants.](http://www.freakandfrolic.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=AM&Product_Code=CAR1010&Category_Code=SH) in the classic sense of “queer”.

This thread gets the absolute first prize for an OP who posts something that makes the rest of us brain-barbeque and speculate for hours, but he never comes back to clarify things.

Apparently those aren’t college girls, they’re Nutty Bunnies.

But they’re made with “100% Vibe”! How can that much vibe _ever_ be scary?

Indeed, vibe in quantities that large should bring nothing but sweet and soothing sensations of grooviness and funkitude. 😛

I just checked the OP’s join date; he’s been here almost six months and has a post count of 53, translating into just over three tenths of a post daily. Now I understand…one of those near-lurkers who just drops in once in a while.

I never laughed so hard a garment in my entire life…not even inside The Roxy (on a Saturday no less).

I’d be scared of falling through the bottom of them

Oh my. Did you check out the “memorial to our daughters” link on the side?  
You want to laugh about the pants, and then click on that and just cry. (for those without time to link, their two toddlers were killed in a natural gas explosion that destroyed their apartment building.)

Whoa, hey – hold it: after a decade of urban teenage males wearing the Stupid Pants[sup]TM[/sup], someone slaps a rainbow on them and tries to sell it as gaywear?  
I’m losing my trust in the market, man…

And I definitely concur that **Mr. Roboto** should preemptively get himself some nice, well-made Normal Trousers.

Sorry Folks…been out-of-town…

My wife took the dreaded dungarees back to Mervyn’s or Target.  
Not Sure, Don’t Care

These Pant’s were not normal, I tried to describe their appearance. We have all  
seen Levi’s, Wrangler even Eddie Bauer Denim. A Blueish hue, all acceptable  
for the Western Civilizationer.

These Pants were of an unnatural Spawn, they were not “Blue Jeans”  
Remember Water Colors? Remember mixing Red & Green Together?  
That was the color…

The Rib of the Posterior cut was shorter and tighter than my trusty Levi’s…  
When I pulled them up,they made contact with my Glutimus alot sooner  
than I expected- another queer sensation-Pants shouldn’t feel like that!
