Pants Observation Exercise by dexter in question

April 21st, 2007 3:49 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Take a photo of a stranger's pants.

This is a short video my friend Lotte took of an indignant Scot dancing to a busker in Barcelona. He would dance, and than become upset because no one else would join him - he is in full kit and sporin.

- smaller

The indigant Scot!

I love that little shrug of the shoulders. "What, you've never seen a man dance before?"

From what I understand of Kilts, this is actually a picture of... No Pants!

I take pants to mean - something that is designed to cover the lower portion of the body. Technically, pants to an English person means underwear so, I think it's all debatable!

The british language distinction

is exactly what r0ck c4ndy is talking about, I believe. The traditional way to wear kilts is sans pants...

Assuming that r0ck c4ndy is British. I am not sure if people seem to be objecting to this entry or not. I assumed that kilts would be fine, since there were no "Take a picture of a stranger's kilt" task, and kilts are a completely justifiable alternative to pants.

I wasn't sure whether I was objecting or not

Until your latest comment. The fact is that this particular task is not, in fact, a kilt observation excercise. Dresses are a viable alternative to pants, but this is not a dress observation excercise. Saris, robes, ninja outfits, burqas, all viable alternatives to pants. Perhaps you might want to create a task that explores any number of these alternatives.

But now that I look at the picture again, I see three other people in the shot who definitely are wearing pants...so that works.

some would even say that gum is a viable alternative

Hey guys look!

I sat on some gum!

That's not gum!

That's not gum at all!

I was actually not objecting to the completion of the task at all, I was in fact making the joke Cyber Kitty thought I was.
Although I am not British, I did travel with some Brit's for quite a while and picked up some vernacular.

Also, there is a team MPLS joke about going no-pants.
So I thought I was being doubly funny, when in fact I was just confusing the hell out of everyone.
Not the first time!

More revolutionary lies and misappropriation

INSTRUCTIONS: Take a photo of a stranger's pants.



NOT THE INSTRUCTIONS: Steal Leuitenant Lottie's film of a stranger's kilt.

The only thing you succeeded in here is not knowing the man. And do you even intend to prove that?!
