[The Alterother] has a problem: he doesn't know what type of
pants
to wear today. For the answer, he turns to his iPad.
"O magical omniscient picture-telling window," he queries, "what
pants should I wear today?"
The iPad, which has learned to cope with its owner's constant,
frustrating
demands, quickly downloads, installs, and opens the
What Pants Should I Wear app (from AlterNet World-Domination
&
Web Design inc., $3.99 at iTunes Store). After collecting and
analyzing a number of variables, including gender (male), age
(30-
something), mood (grumpy), nation of birth (USA), outdoor
tempurature (friggin' cold), present location (right here),
expected
activity level (I got some stuff to do), presentability (N/A),
chance
of precipitation (20%), chance of fire (89%), chance of rhinoceros
(.07%), and, of course, is your wife around (no), the iPad
helpfully
informs [The Alterother] that he should wear Finnish Military
seyntex KL-type torjua/apuohjelma dungarees, OD green, size:
82x90 (European), the pair with the mended tear on the thigh,
not
the pair with the oil stains.
[The Alterother] bows respectfully, burns a small effigy of Bill
Gates, and puts his pants on.

What's wrong with the oil-stained ones if the wife isn't around? |
|
|
Y-fronts? Boxer shorts? Y-fronts? Briefs perhaps? Commando? |
|
|
11% odds that Bill won't light? |

I would recommend that it be able to use the camera to decide if this shirt goes with those pants. Some guys having defective color receptors, and others having a certain tone-deafness about spectral interrelationships. |

89% chance of fire (effigy-burning excluded). [The
Alterother] always considers flammability when selecting
garments. Oil- or fuel-stained pants are reserved for non-
combustible activities, such as skiing or holiday dinners
with the in-laws. |
|
|
The wife-presence factor is a useful tool in predicting the
likelihood of idiotic activities. If T.G.F.J. isn't home, it
behooves [The Alterother] to wear heavier-duty clothing to
field the inevitable shrapnel. |

Immediate vast flour-based leavened comestible for that alone. |

Nothing, if the oil in question is a large drip from the engine of a Spitfire Mk IX in the flying hangar at Duxford, in which case said oil stain becomes not a disfigurement but a matter of pride, and the subject of a solemn blood oath never, never to ever wash the now-sanctified garment. |
|
|
All stains are souvenirs. The one I took from Duxford is on
a pair of Carrharts; rubber from a tire of a PBY, where I sat
for a few minutes just taking it all in. |
|
|
I quite like the oil stained ones with the funny deep engineer type pockets... |
|
|
You should seek professional help. Immediately. |
|

Just fall to your knees and than the Deity of your choice that they don't come with a pole attached to the back ... |

|
|
Well I think you should invent a pair of iPants that will change with your moods... |
|
|
/use the camera to decide if this shirt goes with those pants/
That would be a tricky app. I think it would depend very much on ambient light. |
|
|
Pants? We don't need no steenking pants! On the other hand, this seems like a natural for any pants aficionado... |

<GROG walks off, mumbling about commandos> |

Ah yes, didn't notice the fire odds. |
