Very Troubling Times

This can be seen as a continuation from my post earlier this week entitled Inexplicable Anxiety.

I have even more disturbing news! No, it's not that Continental announced they're cutting 3000 jobs nor is it that United is dissolving Ted... No, dear readers, the news today is a far more alarming discovery.

My sister Val! sent me this news from the streets of Manhattan yesterday evening.
Prepare yourselves, because I don't think it gets anymore unsettling than this. The true sign that we're in troubling times - a woman was spotted wearing Hammer Pants on the streets of Manhattan yesterday!

Thanks to Val! for texting me this picture.


This is life-shattering, society-destroying news if ever there were any. Either it means the lady is so destitute and broke she had to fish in her closet for this relic of 1990 fashion as it is the only pair of pants she any longer owns and can wear OR - god forbid - this is actually coming back in style. If that's the case, we should definitely pray for the future of our country.

didn't i just a few months ago convince you to rid yourself of a pair of those pants? curious the change of heart when you are not wearing them. ;P

Hmmm...
they weren't the same...!!!
*runs away crying*

For the record, I had two pairs of Hammer pants when I was in 5th grade - a golden pair and a purple pair with a black waistband. The pair of pants I threw away at your request were simply a baggy, floaty spandex/rayon blend from the mid-90's. Sheesh, some people don't know their 90's era relics
