    The fucking noise those pants made every step you took was an absolute sensory nightmare.

    In retrospect, it’s no wonder my favorite colors were purple and teal as a kid. All my swishiest outfits had those colors.

    We didn’t just fight it, we broke it! They’re not called windfighters.

      yeah if you wanted to actually fight something on that kind of scale, as opposed to breaking it, you had to wait about 10 years for Foo to show up

      They still sell them. You can get everything from a $10 Walmart jobbie, all the way up to an $800 Arctryx meant for climbing K2.

        Oh no now you’ve gotten to the area of sports coats. There are people who know way too much about sports coats and have way too much of an opinion about which one’s good and which one isn’t.

      I bought one. A few years ago. I wore it like twice, because it gets super hot in there.
