The pants I wore on Saturday are special pants from my bin of winter clothes. They are 36″ by 36″ (about 4 inches too wide, 2 inches too long) LL Bean khaki pants with black and white flannel lining. Obviously, having flannel on the inside is a super bonus. I recently extended my contract with the ECG until the end of 2011 (just in case the Mayan calendar is correct, and the world ends on December 12, 2012, I’d like that final year as personal time)…
I also have the pants in navy blue with red and yellow flannel on the inside… its actually the superior pair of pants for me, clocking in at 34″ by 34″, much closer to my true dimensions. The hat I’m wearing is an aggressive, psychedelic blue winter hat that I bought at a gas station. It originally had this weird double liner but I ripped it out after I washed and dried it because the double lining made it so tight on my head that I was contemplating trepanning through the cheap fabric directly into my skull.
Usually, I wash items of clothing that I buy at gas stations before I wear them. Taking the lining out of this gas station blue hat has endeared it to me all the more; it feels vulnerable now that its roughly the same as my other winter hats. It cost $3. at the gas station. Today is Super Bowl Sunday and I am not 100% sure about this but I believe that, for the first time ever, one of the brunch specials could be named after me, and my love for late night brisket burritos every Saturday. What an honor… I think someone needs to name a brunch special after Darnel…
Dogbert, I see how it is. You know how to move it. How to grove it without getting runover, headached, hung-up in the morning. That is true art and true style. Curse the mornings of a bad belly and a fuzzy bear-meat tough-head!
Brunch it to the sky!
sorry baby, in top pix, jimmy steals your thunder!
*flannel lined pants rock and are far more sophisticated that the gigantic, poop-in the-seat look of my blue snow pants. i must update them!
thanks for your j.joyce/w.whitman/t.s. eliot ‘good luck mashup text’ re: tomorrow’s big test. i have a sign on my bulletin board that reads “WHATEVER IT TAKES!” in large, deranged caps. i stole the idea from a 3rd yr. resident who had a similar one (with nicer handwriting). mine’s better because it scares me into doing well!!
