From @U2's Answer Guy:

From: Mark

I was wondering wear Adam Clayton, the poshest member of the band, did his shopping. Especially those sweet redish camouflauge pants. THanks. - An Adam Clayton Obsessed Amateur Bassist

Dear AACOAB:

As a bassist, you must know that once you master the four strings, it's up to your stage outfit to impress the fans. Adam knows this better than anyone.

All of Adam's pants are provided by Spanky's House of Fatigues which is located in Dayton, Ohio. During his travels around the country while making the Rattle & Hum album and film, Adam found Spanky's quite by accident. Adam was looking for a colorful, unique, durable, and let's be honest, roomy pant that he could wear during live shows. The pants all have plenty of pocket space for his lighter and the five packs of cigarettes he keeps on his person at all times. I'm told one pocket is for his picks, another pocket for his 'little black book' (now a Handspring PDA with extra memory so each of the supermodels can have their own entry). There is a small pocket at the back of the pants for any new additions to his spoon collection. So you see, Adam and Spanky are a fashion match made in heaven.

Spanky makes his pants in many colors, but Adam has lately been partial to the red ones, although its hard to say in what sort of landscape he'd be camouflaged.

this is bullshit. I have just called Dayton Ohio and all the Spanky's are STRIP CLUBS!

not that i doubt Adam would go in to a strip club. He probably owns a dozen.

but there is no SPANKY'S HOUSE OF FATIGUES.

damn it all to hell!!!! PANTS! where are you PANTS!!!

i'm going to keep calling.
 
you know, that previous post of mine was really rude. I'm so sorry. I feel terrible about it and want to take it back.

see what the pants have done to me? *SOB*

<deep breath>

ok, let me first thank On The Edge for her sincere concern for humanity. That posting is so important.

next step: where did you read it, so I can go there and ask more questions?
 
Ok .... deep breaths elizabeth. Go to your happy Adam place ... deep breaths.

Ok ... the Answer Guy from atu2.com just makes up the answers ... so there really is no Spanky's House of Fatigues.

<*sigh*> I am in my Adam happy place....it's so pretty here...*cough cough* a little smoky but whatever...

i hate the answer guy.

i was willing to drive to Dayton. I live in Pittsburgh, so it was well worth it.

<in my "i see dead people" voice>

It's okay! The pants are a powerful thing. I'm sorry to get your hopes up.

Uhhh... sure, you are welcome.

anyway i saw a pair of his pants inthe mall the other day! I spotted them immediately (the gray colored ones) and sort of stared at it, then looked around to see if anyone was watching (b/c obviously everyone would know what i was up to) and then sort of casually sidled up to them and touched them! LOL. they were boy's pants, plus I couldn't reallllly justify ever buying them... um..

and *fashionably trashy*. I was cracking up!!


so that's one good thing the pants have done for me today. given me a good laugh. they are such nice pants to do that for me.

sometimes i think the pants are like angels, going from one person to the next spreading love and joy.
