you damn kids get off my lawn, part two

Dear guy in my theater class,

If you are wearing a belt and I can STILL see 2/3 of your boxer shorts - clearly - you and the belt need to talk. The belt, she is tired. The belt does not wish to work. Perhaps a new belt is in order.

Or maybe it's user error.

Pull up your goddamn pants,

Me




I have a copy of 'Alligator Pie' by Dennis Lee. (I never realized how Canadian Dennis Lee is. Half the rhymes have some kind of Canadiana reference.) And our Really Good Nighttime Babysitter (the one with the new baby) has come out of the woodwork. YAY! We still have her Christmas gifts.

I seem to recall that this is considfered *stylish* in some circles.

Me, let's just say that there's a *reason* I wear suspenders.

To me, that's just one more reason to eschew fashion trends. :)

I wanna know what the frigging point is of wearing a belt when it is strapping the pants around your THIGHS. The young man I asked didn't give much an answer.

I'm voting for even more extreme user error. At least this guy had the belt within vague shouting distance of his waist.

Ah, maybe that's it: his waist had a sore throat and couldn't yell loud enough to call the belt back where it belonged.

some people just don't know what belts are for. *shakes head sadly* as if people want to see that. *shudders*
