    I don’t understand the appeal of pants that don’t fit women like they should… why would I want to look like I have no butt?

    Strap-ons: For the woman who has no penis, but wants to make believe she does.

    I like this game!

  3. Hilly says:

    Yeah, I’ve never wanted to commandeer any of my boyfriends’ pants…their shirts, however.

  4. Roberta says:

    I’m like… ALL those things!

  5. Churlita says:

    Very nice. But what are you trying to say? Is it so wrong to pretend that you have a boyfriend, or friends or are important? If so, I’m in trouble…Okay, maybe not in trouble so much, as pathetic.

  6. Leah says:

    Hahahahaha! (First off, Finn’s addition made me LAUGH!) Secondly, I agree with all of this. Good one Neil.

  7. Karl says:

    Blogger, for the person who doesn’t have a life, but wants to believe he does.

  8. Nance says:

    Hell, Technorati doesn’t make me feel popular. It makes me feel like crap. I never break into the top 200,000.

    …and does this mean it’s wrong when I wear my padded bra?

    Then I don’t wanna be right!

  9. claire says:

    Does the “boyfriend trouser” come with sizing that relates to actual measurements? …that I could get behind, although I find that ad rather irritating.

  10. Mist 1 says:

    I have got to get the boyfriend trouser. I prefer make believe boyfriends.

  11. Dagny says:

    Claire, they probably do. That’s why my friend and I used to steal her brother’s jeans in high school. I found that I was actually able to get a better fit in men’s pants (No snide comments there.) than women’s. Well, at least jeans. Because they’re sold by waist size. Oh, and come in different lengths.

    But of course they’re selling the Boyfriend Trouser in women’s sizes. (I checked.) Doesn’t that defeat the purpose? Guess I gotta start stealing clothes from a boy once more.

    Neil:
    I hate Technocrappy. Personally, I don’t think it works properly. At least that’s what I tell myself to make myself feel better for being linked to only a few people. I think Technocrappy is actually run by little mice running on a big wheel.

  13. Sara says:

    The first couple of things listed here fall into a category my friend Celeste used to call “store-bought cool.” You can always tell store-bought cool from the real thing. Always. And that, of course, automatically makes it uncool.

    The last two are what I call “manufactured cool.” Same deal applies.

    Sometimes a leather jacket, though, is just a leather jacket.

  14. claire says:

    You won’t get any flak from me, Dagny. The pants I wear most often are men’s (that I bought for myself), so I could get something long enough without being too wide.

  15. Michael says:

    Dang I have the cap, the jacket and the Technorati link.

    Maybe this explains why I can never find my favorite pants, the wife snags them!
