"People don't wear clothing to be comfortable. People wear clothing to be attractive.

If comfort was our only goal as a species we'd all be wandering around in velour sacks, idly masturbating and eating fistfuls of pudding.

So don't wear your pajamas around campus. Sweatpants suggest that you have a load in your drawers. Crocs are for special-ed students who can't lace their goddamned shoes.

And if your clothes have holes in them, either learn how to sew or throw them away. It's a basic sign of respect for the species that you not dress like a sexless hobo."


Mel!ssa sent me this quote from the Stranger's back to school guide and I can't stop smiling.

sounds like some people I know!

i used to wear my pajamas to morning classes

heybaby said:

I never wore them strictly directly to class, but there were time in the winter I just threw clothes on over them and ran out the door.

i had these favorite black and red plaid flannel pajamas that i would wear to 8 am classes-it was still warm and turning into fall. they were huge-i think they were for guys i had some friends on the basketball team so they let me crash in their dorms on campus. what made me get classes that early i don't know because i hated it. no backpack or anything just a pencil and a note pad. i was a mess

heybaby said:

No one told me not to take an 8am class my very first semester of college. I ended up haivng to drop the class cause I could never make it on time. And I lived on campus!!

what's so bad about fistfuls of pudding? the rest of it i'm down with...exept for the sexless hobo part. hobos get lots of play - ALL of them.


don't ask me how i know.

I'll post the signs here, just in case other people need to print them for their closet doors as well.

evenstar said:

thats what i said to my careers advisor after one of those 'what job are u suited too' things

jami0mckay said:

those bastards always try and talk you out of your dreams. so what if 'rodeo clown' isn't a practical career?!

evenstar said:

And mine was like the greyest man you'd ever seen, with no sense of humour, I told him I wanted to be a 'carni' and he sent me out, BASTARD

I can't stop laughing.

jami0mckay said:

sometimes if i daydream hard enough in classes i can pretend i'm in clown college instead, but it never really works.

Guilty!

evenstar said:

its the shoes, gotta wear clown shoes it doesn't work without them

CarrieMpls said:

I the Stranger.

jami0mckay said:

if i shouldn't wear pajamas, i think clown shoes would be frowned upon even more.

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

I'm like, "where are the promised fistfuls of pudding?! "

evenstar said:

don't bow down to society just because the grey man says you can't be a clown!!

Infact if my careers advisor wore pajamas and clown shoes I would've taken him more seriously
