ESCAPE PANTS

[NightWatch]

Na, our ladies are lovely. They really are. Also, even if they weren't, we still have the most awesome beer, which can make even the hairiest woman look... ok no even our beer isn't good enough for that but... our beer is good is what I'm trying to say.

*hands Pan a shovel and one of those delicious German beers*

the police are going to notify her mental health team ( Yes...she has a team. ) and ask them to see what they can do about alleviating the problem.

It's probably a good thing there's a team. They can support each other... you wouldn't want to condemn one person to unending Fangirl-restraint duty, would you?

(Actually mental health teams usually consist of: a psychiatrist or physician to deal with medication issues; a psychologist or clinical social worker to coordinate the overall psychological picture; another lower level social worker or community health worker to help deal with day to day living; a patient advocate who deals with the legal system (sometimes leading the whole team astray into the land of "but she doesn't want to take her meds and you can't make her"); a family member of the patient; or various combinations thereof. The situation in Vancouver is really bad because there hasn't been any funding for the community-level outpatient care that was supposed to be in place when they knocked down all the psychiatric hospitals fifteen years ago, and the number of people needing the (nearly nonexistent) services has only continued to grow )

((By the way, that's probably what my own career is going to be. I'm wavering between a counselling psych degree or clinical social work)).

Wow. Your admittedly delicious beer and the likes of Sina Schielke, Heidi Klum, Claudia Schiffer, Julia Stegner, Eva Padberg, etc. etc.? Yeah, GK's 'exaggeration-for-effect' missed the mark a bit there

On the other hand, given some of the clothing products we've seen that he has to look at daily, I'm pretty impressed that he can find his way home from day to day, much less distinguish nationalities or sexes.

I have to say though that I liked Heidi Klum a lot better when she kept her mouth shut. That woman is on TV everywhere now.

Well, yes and no.

I will be the first to say that some of the hottest women I have met in my life were German. Not German-Americans, mind you, but German. As in frauleins.

That being said, I have also had the dubious pleasure of meeting German women who do, in fact, fit the mold of the stereotypical big, hairy, scary German woman.

Hell, I have met some Czech women that were just ridiculously hot....and some Czech women that most of my generation thought of in the 70's and 80's when the Olympics showed Iron Curtain female athletes.

I would venture to say that just about all ethnic/national groups have a good percentage of hotties AND a good percentage of hosebeasts in their midst, whatever their stereotypes.

Except, of course, Brazilians. Because they are ALL hotties!

[Calie]

Now, y'see I did exactly the same, but wasn't going to mention it incase GK thought I was some bizarre replacement to his stalker. Glad you mentioned it first!

/sheepishly raises her hand to say that she too googled it (before reading the rest of the post even)...

though I gotta say, the baby-fat-whatever shoes are surprisingly tame. Would be rather cute for a 6yr old girl. Heck, if it wasn't bubblegum pink I wouldn't mind the design. But the pink camo sweatshirt needs to DIAF.

[RootedPhoenix]

To me, the pattern isn't quite as bad as the particular eye-searing shade of pink that they picked to put in it. MY EYES, THEY BURN!

I mean, there are less terrifying shades in existence...

ETA: Upon a second look, there is no good color on that thing. Burn it now. Ick.

[sms001]

Well, yes and no.

Quoth me: Yeah, GK's 'exaggeration-for-effect' misses the mark in regard to those particular women I just listed in order to reassure more sensitive readers that most of us are aware that the sterotype is not universal.

There. Fixed to minimize quibbling.

I would venture to say that just about all ethnic/national

Gee Wally, thanks for that important lesson!

Onward through the pink camo induced glaucoma fog.

I bet a lot of us do it - not for the stalkery, but just to see what else poor Grave' has to contend with that doesn't make it to the post. I wouldn't ever post those companies I've run across, but I gotta say - apparently even 867ers draw the line somewhere, cause there ARE more atrocious things in some of those catalogs.

GK - off topic, but a heads up:
I read in the paper today that some girl has arranged some "silent dance" on the Skytrain on Feb 21st. Everyone is supposed to get on the train and dance to whatever they have on their ipod. Just thought I should warn you so you didn't think everyone had suddenly been turned into dancing zombie idiots. Well, no more than usual.

I think….I inadvertently made the lunatic cry this evening. I’m not sure if I should feel a little bad about it or somewhat proud of myself.

Honestly, I've gotta stop being such a Final Fantasy fangirl. When I read this, I actually thought you were saying you had called down an army of moon monsters to attack the planet. Really.

[Akasa]

GK you always make my day better with your posts.
I have some cherry cordials I got at the store today. Help yourself!

[RetailWorkhorse]

That's....what exactly?

Ok, this has been haunting me since I saw it on the Skytrain this evening. If you have a single strip of hair down the middle of your skull, and have it spiked, it’s a Mohawk, yes? So what is it called if you have a single strip of hair down the middle of your skull, but rather than spiked it’s luxuriously combed, professionally styled and dyed the faintest tint of girlish pink despite you being a 6 foot full grown adult male in a black leather trench coat and army boots?

Someone actually asked him if it was Halloween. To which he replied “EVERY DAY IS HALLOWEEN!~!”.

Oh my god! It's Hot Pink Guy! How in the nine hells did he get way up there? dude, come baaaaaack, I need phooooootoooooooos!

Rocky Mountain Trading Company has them for $113!!! they just look like cargo pants.

Found them. Same exact ones.

Gee Wally, thanks for that important lesson!

And thus did ye Jester receiveth yon Verbal Smackdown, and verily was he bowed and defeated.

So, I'm sitting there looking at the first link I got off of google, and I'm wondering, what, precisely, makes all the pants I'm staring at 'liquid'?
