dick-prints

Would this involve an easily imprinted material (like some tracksuit trousers) and a dick slap?

Either way, we could finally catch those guys who rub their Mr Thomas all over the murder weapon/stolen purse/victim (urgh)

Of course, I probably shouldn't talk; I'm one of those people who always felt weird when people would wear pajama ****** to morning classes in college. Just... put on some big-boy ******, for the love of God!

I sometimes wore pajama ##### to class in college, which was doubly wierd because I lived off-campus and actually had to get in my car and drive to school without putting on proper clothing.  But I went to a women's college, so this was sort of the status quo.  Plus, on days when I only had a 9:30 -- most Tuesday/Thursdays after my first year -- I always went right back home afterwards, and it didn't seem like a good enough reason to bother with silly things like putting on ##### or wearing a bra.  Most of the girls who lived in dorms didn't, why the hell should I? 

Once, towards the end of spring semester, I actually forgot to wear shoes.  Senior year was rough.

I regularly disregard shoes.  I almost got kicked out of a German class that was in a ROTC building because some Officer was pissed about me not wearing shoes in his building.  He tried to get me kicked out of the class and banned from his building, but since it was only the first time after he joked around with me about it, and didn't actually tell me not to, it was alright.  Anyways, shoes are kind of lame, in my opinion.  Well, they are my feet, as long as I am not bleeding it should be alright for everybody else.  Basically it is nothing that is not going to be on shoes.

I have finally recovered enough to type that I am shocked completely speechless at the idea that people would wear pajamas to class.  Or anywhere outside of their houses aside from maybe running out to get the newspaper off the front lawn, which I know no one ever does anymore anyway because they read Yahoo News in the PJs instead.

No one ever wore pajamas to my classes.  Was it because they were never early in the morning?  The small size of the classes, making each student more conspicuous?  Or was it just obvious that I was the kind of person who would pass out on the floor if I noticed someone doing it?

The trend here called them "dorm #####" but the majority of the people wearing them were teens, and therefor not in dorms of any type - unless you call your parents home a dorm...

Anyway, yeah, I totally agree with you wombie... but then, for me university was an important petri dish of social interaction, and studying theatre meant getting up in front of people and performing most days, so though I didn't always look my best, I never once thought, "hey... I'm just going to wear my pj's."  Then again, back in the day, my pj's were an oversized t-shirt and no bottoms, so, you know, getting up and putting on pj bottoms to go out was just way too fucked up of an idea to even cross my mind.

It depends on the school.  Like I said, I went to a small women's college, so there was really nobody to impress.  And there was no dress code for the profs, either -- some of them still wore professional attire (skirts and blouses) but most of the profs came to class in blue jeans or broomstick skirts.  That sort of sets the bar a little lower for the students' attire. 

Now that I'm taking classes at UNC, I never see undergrads in pajama #####.  It's just a different environment.  Of course, I'm not there first thing in the morning either.  But I'd imagine there aren't a lot of students going to class in pajamas or sweat##### at Harvard or MIT.

At my school apparently there were only two acceptable ##### options for (hip/trendy) female students: pajama ##### or tight black #####.

About wearing PJ's outside the house.  If it's because you are running late or feeling tired and don't have the time or energy to change into something more suitable and you are going someplace where no one would be offended, then it's ok.  If you are wearing them because it's the hip thing to do, you are a douchebag.

In [catholic] high school there was a uniform, of course, but on dress down days, girls thought it was cool to wear pajama #####.  A reasonable sample of peers thought it was pretty rediculous.

I could sort of understand it if a student is dorming and just going to one class.  But basically, it seems like someone is going out of their way to make themselves appear uninhibited or something.  Completely precalculated.

This seems pretty similar to the hipster mentality popular in the developing-metropolis areas over here, where dudes go to Lengths to acquire retro clothing.  So precalcuated, it hurts.

Most of the professors that I worked with wore blue jeans too, so we weren't setting the bar very high. I actually didn't wear blue jeans - I wore corduroys or khakis or black jeans, which somehow in my mind were different.  That was what I called dressed up for work. But I wonder if it had something to do with there being a lot of students who lived off campus.  And most of my classes were upperclassmen who were even more likely to live off campus. 

In any case, I am grateful that I was spared this knowledge until now.

And for the record I haven't the foggiest idea what a broomstick skirt is.

I'm all for wearing pajama bottoms to morning lectures at female-only colleges. Changing into proper 'trousers' can eat into valuable pillow-fight time.

I realise this post makes me a sleazy, lecherous oaf. In mitigation, I dont have a perspiration problem, and dont even own any tracksuit bottoms*, translucent or otherwise.

sweatasterisks.

Can'd!

Although I always pictured tracksuits being a different material than sweats. Me, I was a fan of the breakaway ##### with the snaps. The key to dramatically ripping them off is to only attach every other snap.

a few things: I can confirm that kids at harvard and MIT wear pajama bottoms. at least, I mean, I am pretty sure they do. And I have some peeps I can contact to ensure this.

Also, JL, the reason you don't see kids at UNC wearing sweat#####/PJ ##### is because you are in almost grown-up classes. I can tell you with absolute certainty that kids at that school wear pajama bottoms.

yeah, I have felt pretty low about myself ever since that sweat##### day. also, because now I am getting in this weird habit where I fall asleep in public places.

Guys, if you fall asleep leaning against a wall, this is how you will wake up: curled up in a ball on the ground, with your friend's coat over you, and her staring at you.

Once this happens, it should indicate to you that you should not do this again. Learn from my mistakes.

Hey, thanks for the virtual beverage - for a small pretend drink it's making me feel quite tearful.

Me, I was a fan of the breakaway ****** with the snaps. The key to dramatically ripping them off is to only attach every other snap.

And always carry a ghetto blaster with "It's Raining Men" ready to play, at all times.

Preparedness.
