I KNEW I WASN’T THE ONLY ONE: Sometimes, I just can’t handle wearing pants. And for the most part, it’s only when I’m working. Shit gets real serious when my pants come off. Ask Larry or Brad or George. The mere sight of my boxer shorts can crumble even the most hard-scrabble of my clients.

And often, people just lose it. I mean, is it that hard to see a guy take off his pants? Hard to say. The only reply I have for them is: “A man’s gotta be comfortable.”

That’s what I say when I’m in the shop, pantless. Boxers required, of course?

You know, the heat gets turned up and you just gotta shed the 501s and free things up in the head, and in the mid-section. Simple, really. Gross, more or less.

Goo lost it and dug up a bunch of links of people like me:

A SPECIAL DAY DEDICATED TO LEG FREEDOM: “No Pants Day.”

LOTS OF LEG: “No Pants Subway Ride 2008” and more on the subject.

I’m counting down the days until January 12th. Coming up quick. Start planning now.

And hey, if you by the shop, come on by and drop the drawers. We can handle it.

RUMBLE, WE DON’T WANT ANY TROUBLE: Someone named “Rumble” comes in real hot with an amazing link titled, “Gerd Arntz and the Emancipation of the Proletariat” because it reminded him of the Ganesh sign from a couple days back. We like the sound of it. Watch yer backs, rich folk, yer days are numbered.

THERE’S PROBABLY SOME COOL WEB-SAVVY TERM FOR “DOUBLE LINKING” THINGS WITH TWO SITES YOU REGULARLY BLOG ON, SO, HERE GOES TO BREAKING WHATEVER RULE MIGHT BE BROKEN REGARDING THAT, AND LIKE WE CARE ANYWAYS: Douglas Wilson’s students “do it to it” to their Field Notes, and man, much pride is felt.

FORGOT TO SAY THIS YESTERDAY, ALL HIGH ON SET DESIGN AND THE LIKE: A big, hairy goddamn “Thank You” to all you bad elves who bought a hunk of DDC Merch over the last week, weekend, and last couple days. Shit’s on the way. Really. Just in time for the holi-daze.
