The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

[Mirrorball Girl]

We haven't had a Pants thread in far too long.

Hehe, okay, this is a fairly inane post. But I was at Barnes & Noble last night and noticed this book: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/books/0385729332/reader/1/104-7355261-5529541#reader-link

And since I was with nooobody who would have found this remotely funny (even though I was giggling like a loon) I felt the need to share it with my PLEBA sisters.

So this is a book for young adults, or I so would have bought it. As it was I read the inside flap and it was great, because thy refer to the Pants with a capital P. So who would be a member of the sisterhood of the traveling Pants here? Elizabeth, Kristie, Elaine ... I think I'm missing someone. But anyway, I hereby decree that anyone who is a follower or admirer of the Pants (which includes me) is a member of this sisterhood.

So, I'm wondering. To all of you Pants women, how are the little guys doing? Do you have any new pictures of the adventures of you and your Pants to share with us? Anybody want to doctor the book cover to feature the correct Pants?

LMAO! Someone definitely needs to photoshop that book with the correct Pants.

Yay Daisy!
Those pants really are gorgeous. I wish I could afford a pair. How much were they again? There must be something I can sell.

YAY Daisy!! The Pants are only improved by having Adam inside of them, after all.

I think Kristie said she paid like 150 for them....

geez where are her and Elizabeth when you need 'em???

 

[Mirrorball Girl]

Wow, yeah, I knew they were expensive. That's a lot of money for pants. But not for Pants.

I would also like to elicit the help of elizabeth and anyone else who can help me find Larry's Pants. it worked for elizabeth and I would like her mojo-vibeness to rub off on me.

Moonie, I promise if I ever find Larry wearing those pants, I will gladly and slowly take them off of him and they'll be all yours. If you're interested in the underpants, you could have those too, from my teeth to your hands. I swear upon the honor of PLEBA!

LOL... thanks, flamingjune! the slowly taking the pants off kinda befuddled me.... I don't know if those pants would come off slow if I ehm... were given the opportunity. *blush*

My Pants got chocolate all over them yesterday. They're going to the cleaners soon.
HI ELIZ! Missed ya!

Umm OH what are these Larrypants with a skeleton on the back leg? Picture? Sounds cool, I'd like to see.
That is all.

Success is not about how much money you have, the size of your house, or who you know. It's all about how cool your pants are.

OK.... I can describe it to you while I go on a mission and search for a picture of them.... ehm... did you watch the VH1 Pre-show before the Boston DVD was broadcast? He had them on then. I believe they're the pants that have the snaps. Black, and on the back right leg (I think...) there's a skeleton woven into the fabric. Or maybe it's a type of studding. I don't know. But, someone posted a picture on here and I nearly died because it was the pants. I'm going to go search for the picture right now.

*doo doo* *dum dum* *doo doo* *dooodle dooooo* *dooodle dooo* *duh-uh* <---- in case anyone's wondering if i've lost it, I haven't... just trying to type out the Mission Impossible theme. heh.

Ooo I DO have the preshow.. and that falls into the "U2 Vids I Am Not Abstaining From" category.
*runs off to find it*

[moon_is_playing_tricks]

OK... first I found the thread I originally had seen the pants on....
http://forum.interference.com/u2feedback/Forum7/HTML/005000.html

Just for posterity's sake, I'll post the pictures I could find of the pants. Unfortunately, there's not much of Larry from the back (heh.) except in that pre-show when he's walking towards the stage to go on and play.

Look at the right leg, NO, not his stomach showing below his shirt, his RIGHT leg!

hmmmm... this is on the left leg. So, now I'm not sure which leg it's on. I think it's on the right leg and that one picture is flipped.

Anyhow. There's the evidence. Eh, I just think they're cool pants and y'know, would go really great with my Larry shoes.

[JennyBean]

Aww I miss the thrill of the Pants chase. I sadly am too poor to own a pair, but I would like to be a member as well. Boy all it takes to get me posting here again is mention of the glorious Pants! lol!
Now we have some new pants to track down too. I watched the pre show, but didn't tape it, so I don't remember what they looked like.

Ehm, Moonie, I think in both of those pics the design is on the right leg. Right? I'm not insane, am I?

At any rate, eeeeexcellent. Another pair of pants to find. Although maybe those were made especially for Larry. Maybe he spends his nights sewing designs on pants. lol! He and Edge and the bedazzler get together for Craft Night every now and then.

Anyone who desires the Pants of U2 is a member of the sisterhood.

Larrypants ... that could be tough... but there is no job too big for the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants!

I'll bet the Pants have had many adventures...

No, you're not insane. I think one of the two pictures was flipped because I'm almost positive that when I saw them the first time on the VH1 preshow, the design was on his back right leg.

As for craft night.... oh man... that totally cracked me up. LOL~

Craft night, LOL! I just had this mental picture of Edge walking around with a plastic box (you know the ones) full of beads and things. He seems to be a crafty fella, I even saw him sewing on Outside it's America.
