You know the "pants" word-substitution game that has given us classics like the following?
LOTR: "Gondor has no pants! Gondor needs no pants!"
and
SW: "I find your lack of pants disturbing."
koslorollo observed recently that we haven't played that game yet in Tin Man fandom, so I posted about it here on
loltinman, whereupon much hilarity ensued.
Then I was looking at my regular mail today and I had an ad from an online clothing retailer whose subject line said, "PANTS STARTING AT $14.99" and I immediately began trying to retro-engineer the sentence to figure out what word it *used* to begin with. Then I realized it was actually about pants. *foreheadsmack*
