ESCAPE PANTS

[Ree]

"Liquid Escape Pants" - Poor marketing name, but it ain't rocket science - They are pants worn during physical activity and they have vents so "liquid" (i.e. sweat) can escape. I don't think the vents cause them to be any colder than regular pants, since, when the person is wearing them, their body temperature is usually already elevated from exertion.

(Just had to get that out there, because I suspect, due to the oddness and confusion of the name, "Liquid Escape Pants" will become the latest CS "GK namedropping/hero worship" trend, much the same as pink camo became, and I figured the actual reason behind the pants should be clarified...because it isn't all that funny...but then, neither is pink camo.)

Gee Wally, thanks for that important lesson!

*snort* (sorry Jester) OK..that was mean. Funny as hell, but mean.

I am so glad I wasn't the only one who thought the shoes were really cute, pink or not. (I actually like pink.)

Actually, Liquid is the brand name. The product itself is simply called Escape Pants. For some reason or another. Its the combination of brand name and product name that makes it odd. There is no actual escaping of liquid occurring nor designed to occur. ;p

The shoes would be cute if they were kids shoes. ( Although the name of them still makes me cringe. ) But we don't sell anything for kids. ><

How does removing her phone line sound?

Yes, that was the first thing I asked. But apparently she needs it for some reason or another. Probably to stop her from bothering anyone on the mental health team for 12 hours a day. =p

But what if they're NOT disappointed?

I'm afraid they would be, I'm no Raps.

Hey, it's been awhile since anyone has gotten locked in the parkade

I know, everyone's been smart enough to read the sign lately. Than I got a couple that night. The other guy that got stuck I didn't write up because he actually asked politely and explained his situation. So we got him out. ( Though I think they get charged $30 or something for having to send someone down. )

How do the laces do that? They're pink at the bottom, but white everywhere else.

You know, I didn't notice that.......now I need to know the answer. ><

It's sad, but whenever you talk about the clothes people buy and the combination and stuff, it always ends up being something where I go "I think those are totally cute!"

We sell a lot of nice clothes, actually. But we also sell a lot of rampant silliness. Plus the stock has shifted from good clothes to "gangsta" labels over the year. Which has led to an increase in ingits calling.

Remember, we were doing a Pimpjuice promo a while back. ><

Those shoes could work on a select few individuals. But they aren't kids shoes. I'm more irked by the brand and product name. I'm pretty sure he flashed a gang sign at the phone when he asked for them.

That hoodie however is a lost cause. The other colours it comes in are nice though. I'm just relieved he didn't go for the matching cap, jogging pants and/or skirt as well.

As for the pink, its not so much the colour but the intensity of said colour.

GK, for my amusement, will you pretty please with a cherry on top in your next thread, call someone a hoser??

I will endeavour to to accomplish this.

((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)).

You have my pity. =p

Gee Wally, thanks for that important lesson!

<snerk>

I read in the paper today that some girl has arranged some "silent dance" on the Skytrain on Feb 21st.

Yep, this I already know. Its been all over the radio here all week.

There is no actual escaping of liquid occurring nor designed to occur.

Not to labour the point, but I would think the fact that there are vents would be proof that sweat is meant to evaporate through the holes, but I also finally did do a Google search and I see what you mean, so I stand corrected.

Are those shoes really called Baby Fat, or did you mean Baby Phat? I'm just thinking of the Kimora Lee Simmons line of clothes.....

[RebeccaOTool]

Well, I'm glad some progress has been made with the fangirl situation, but yeah, shouldn't she be in a hospital if she's that bad?

They are totally Baby Phat because that's the KLS trademark cat design on them...

do not ASK how I know this given that I hate KLS and Baby Phat... i just do. I'll hide in my corner now.

[Ree]

did you mean Baby Phat?

I think that's the actual name.

If you Google "Baby Phat Tag Cat Low" in image search, you get pictures of some very similar shoes.

*snort* (sorry Jester) OK..that was mean. Funny as hell, but mean.

Not at all. If I can dish it out, I certainly should be able to take it. And, frankly, I can.

How do the laces do that? They're pink at the bottom, but white everywhere else. Are they multicoloured laces, that have to be laced precisely so the pink bit is in the right place? I'm fascinated!

You know, I didn't notice that.......now I need to know the answer.

Two very bright guys....and y'all need me, a dude that was verbally bitch-slapped in this very thread, to explain this to you? REALLY?

*sigh*

It's very simple. Long white laces. One band of pink in the middle. When the factory laces them, they simply put the pink band in the middle when they do the first two eyelets. Not tough. Alternatively, if not laced at the factor, you yourself do the same thing when you get them home. Again, not tough.

Hell, I went to Arizona State and I figured that out without a problem.

Ok good, so I was right

We had a Baby Phat store very briefly at the mall here. It didn't last long, as you can imagine, most of us small town Wisconsinite blue collar workers can't afford to blow $80 on a pair of jeans. Add to the fact that the "rent" for stores at the mall here is outrageous.....you don't sell much, you don't make much.....bye bye Baby Phat....hello blank store that's been "for rent" ever since.

Something about that situation makes me gleeful in my pants...

Well, I'm glad some progress has been made with the fangirl situation, but yeah, shouldn't she be in a hospital if she's that bad?

She probably should, on purely compassionate grounds; can you imagine how chaotic and frightening her inner life must be? But there isn't anywhere for her to go.

The deinstitutionalization movement in mental health care hit especially hard in BC. Basically, there aren't any hospitals left; I believe that the entire Vancouver Health Region (population 2 million or so) currently has a grand total of less than 100 beds for psychiatric patients. You have to be an immediate danger to yourself and to others before you can even get on the waiting list for voluntary treatment (at which point they basically say "good luck with not killing yourself for six months, here's a crisis hotline number"), and the involuntary commitment process is almost as bad.

Phoning people and harassing them takes a backseat to the people pushing each other in front of the Skytrain and/or killing and eating each other

[RebeccaOTool]

Goodness, I had no idea the mental health care crisis had become so dire up there. Good thing I'm in America, where if you're crazy, they just shoot you!
...Wait a minute...

Yeah...um...lemme put it like this.

I'm sitting about fifteen feet from my bedroom. There is a pink GLOW coming through the crack under the door. And I don't have any lights on in there save natural sunlight through the window. You do the math.

I like really, really, REALLY intense pinks.

“SHOW US YOUR TITS!”

They should have asked me. I'd show them hairy moobs like they've never seen.
