This is ridiculous

Tuesday, March 22, 2005 | 8:48 am

The light blue pants that I bought a little over a week ago (featured in the Weird Georgia Road Trips, Part III picture extravaganza) are going to have to be returned to Old Navy. After only two wearings, they were quickly becoming my new favorite pants, but somehow their first washing (last night) caused the freaking zipper to freaking BREAK. The two sides became separated from each other, so the little part that moves up and down (what do you call that, anyway? the “handle”?) doesn’t connect with anything on the left side, thus rendering the zipper moot. :P I suppose I’ll exchange them for another pair and hope the new pair isn’t plagued with the same Crazy Divorcing Zipper problem. And I guess it’s jeans today.

    Also, I really want these pants. As if I need one more pair of pin-striped pants…

    I want these pants! Unfortunately, I am broke and have confined myself to only buying crap I can wear to court, so the pants are out.

    Also… the timestamp of 12:28 AM proves that the revised code (as provided by Tom) does, in fact, work. w00t! (And gracias.)

    I’m with Chris, though, about the East Coast bias. Where’s the love for the rest of the country? You narrow-minded wench!
