There should be a hunting season on skinny jean wearers. Seriously, we are weak as a country. I have been thinking of this lately and may do a post about how we are failing America, more particularly, men are failing the country.

Do it. Dooo it.

My understanding of how the pharmaceutical industry works these days is along the lines of: 1) create a new drug, 2) come up with a disease that it'll cure--often by pathologizing some minor common problem or personality quirk. For years, of course, there's been a name, and drug-based treatment for being shy at parties, but, just recently, I was amazed to find out that my tendency to get confused about right and left is also an official disorder. Will my inability to turn away from really awful reality TV be next? Probably. There definitely is seasonal anxiety disorder, as in the next season of For the Love of Ray J or Real Housewives of NJ.

Tingling bad? Blasphemy!

Exactly. Jeans were made to be skinny. Unless I am wearing them. Then, not so much.

I think the sad part is not that the pharmaceutical industry is trying to sell us diseases (though that is sad in and of itself), the truly sad part is we are creating so many more diseases because of our horrible lifestyles that include Hummers and skinny jeans.

Yes. The truth is that the environment is probably only so forgiving.

I’ve looked a bit into futurology for a research assignment I’m doing and they all predict that within 25 years, we’ll no long be a super power. I don’t think they factored in an effect from skinny jeans, though, so I wouldn’t trust their results.

American hegemony rises and falls on the tightness of jeans. That is the kind of fact we should be teaching our children.

I think that to solve the whale car problem, we should look into simply training *actual* whales to replace cars. I know that if I rolled into a Best Buy riding a whale I am guaranteed a parking spot.

Plus, it’s just as ridiculous as the large car phenomena.

Brilliant. You are so guaranteed a parking spot. And if I was there, I’d ask for your autograph.

If “they” are counting TSS as a real thing, then who do I need to contact to get “chub-rub” added? Nothing like a long day of wearing a skirt only to have an uncomfortable rash at the end of the day from your thighs rubbing together. NOT that that has ever happend to me obvi.

1. I’ve met you and you’re not chubby.
2. “Chubby” isn’t bad, anyway. Actually, it’s… Actually, I should just play it safe and move to #3.
3. I can’t give the contact info. Because if “the rub” means we’re banning skirts, too…
