It's In The Jeans

You know that saying "You are what you eat"? Well now your jeans can be. If you eat raspberries, that is. A company called the Naked and Famous Denim is selling a line of "scratch-and-sniff" men's jeans. Yeah, I read it on the internet, so it must be true.

Damn you Prince for giving these guys this idea with your Raspberry Beret.

Actual photo of raspberry jeans.

You know I'm not too sure just who'd do the scratching and who'd do the sniffing. Prince, maybe.

Now the company explains their drift into fruit of the loom territory saying guys don't like to wash their jeans. They like that lived-in look. Raspberry-scented jeans are intended to mask the odor associated with extended wearing. So, hey, you slobs out there, one whiff of these jeans and people will know you never take them off. Now there's something you'll want to be known for. Cool.

But the smell. Uh-huh. Oh, yeah. As the article I read put it: "how many guys are going to pick raspberry as their go-to scent"? Exactly. But the company has thought of that. It plans to manufacture a whole line of scented jeans that will include apple, banana, eucalyptus, grapefruit and mint.

Oh, yeah, that'll make me wanna buy 'em.

Uh, guys? Those aren't exactly, um, manly, smells. Oh, and I forgot to tell you. The jeans go for $150 a pair. Are you going to pay $150 to smell like a fruit salad?

I've got a suggestion for you guys. Save yourself $150. Stick with your old jeans. And lose the napkin when you eat. You can create your own manly smelling jeans. Just spill a little pizza and beer in your lap at dinner time and you'll be set. Not to mention the odor that'll result several hours later. Now those would be manly smelling pants.

Manly, yes. But ladies may not like them too.

This had got to be the most ridiculous product I have heard of. It's hard to believe it is serious.

This is so wrong on so many levels. All I keep smelling, I mean thinking... heh heh... is that manly smell that reeks of that which shall not be named mixed in with fruity smells.

This must be a conspiracy by the dairy industry to stop people from eating fruits!

Yep, that MUST be it. heh heh

I found it on the internet. It has to be true.

You'd have to scratch these pants a lot to mask a guy's farts, don't you think?

Um, no. Do middle-aged fat women eat raspberries?

You mention BO. It's funny. When I first saw this article I thought of Axe deodorant and body wash products. Why are there so many smelly men's products out there. It's almost a "feminization of the modern man conspiracy" or something.

At least they didn't get their inspiration from Prince's assless pants from around 1989.

Yeah that's like wearing chaps without the pants underneath. Pants with air conditioning.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy!  You know what happens on Imagination D
