nooooooooooooooooo! I assure you all, this is PURE POPPYCOCK! It is indeed true that we were shopping for spandex (oh, jesus help me for stating that in a public forum), but ONLY because our OLD SPANDEX is WORN OUT. It's sad, but true, my BLUE SPANDEX (see my photos for proof) has a hole in the ass and Paolo's PINK SPANDEX (once again, I have photo proof, available for posting if necessary) is long... dead. That said... UA, I have seen no proof of spandex out of you, either! T

You're welcome; I'm all about substance, as in 'a man of substance', not in the 'substance abuse' sense so popular in Hollywood. No, definitely other sense. Really. In fact I've never even been to Hollywood, don't even know where it is. Sign on a hill, that's all I know. Truly. And maybe studios, ok, and somewhere in LA. But that doesn't mean I'm hanging in rehab with Lindsay. And even if I were, she's not really addicted anyway. Nothing to see here, carry on.

I used to wear light blue-metallic/pink-metallic/silver spandex with a short (I mean SHORT!)cutoff jeans over it. no photos to prove this and spandex long lost. I just hope you believe my detailed description....

It's not that I have lots of time to write in rehab; nope, rehab time is fully consumed with group therapy, basket-weaving, introspection, and trips to the nightclubs if you're progressing well. Or so Lindsay tells me, that is, she would, if I knew her. But no, I'm not in rehab, and definitely not taking creative writing therapy. So how is that I come to take time out from my busy schedule (though no doubt not so busy as Curt's Lab Director position, no, I'm not that important, though one day I hope to report to someone like Curt, properly mediated by several levels of middle management, of course) to pen this missive? Simple, really, it's a matter of priorities. And what could be more important than spandex? The topic has been raised, aspersions cast, and confessions made. So, to paraphrase a climbing company's tag line, “write now, work later”. First off: alarm and shock, or is it shock and alarm. Nothing lies farther from my heart than to invoke these twin emotions in our tender Eurofreaks. I can picture you poor things now, strapped into electric chairs in a strange echo of Jonestown (though I think they had picnic benches, and it was the last meal rather than the shock which got them) as the building burns down around you, fire alarms ringing. No, nothing could be further from my intent. Instead, let us celebrate the original spandexness of our gentle Booger and Paulo, resplendent in aqua and fuscia; I'm not going to address the apparent role reversal; that is much better handled by a qualified therapist like the nice man I'm not seeing in rehab. And I'm definitely not going to address Stone's wear, since he was carried off by a magpie, and is now decorating a Christmas tree high in the Vosges. I can picture our heroes as little children swaddled in spandex: no need for a baby carrier, mom would just stretch the spandex over her shoulder. Time for a nappy change? No need for unseemly displays of tender bits, mom would just dig her elbows into the spandex, spread it out, and change the diapers in situ, much like you see modern women performing contortions otherwise reserved for the Chinese circus as they change their bra without removing their blouse. And then that fateful moment when they met, the fuscia and aqua as right as an art deco facade in South Miami Beach. A long way from South Chicago, true, but in spirit not too unlike the the Latin flair of young Paolo, though perhaps the original Cubans have more in common with his laid-back vibe than the striving, politically active ex-pats of Miami. And in the course of time Booger's spandex came to have a hole in the derriere, and Paulo's duly expired. I'm certainly not going to speculate as to how this occurred. Were they too eager? Did Booger stray off the one true path and indulge in canyoneering during a romantic sojourn in Austria? Did the passing of Paulo's spandex leave a metaphorical hole in the heart of Booger's? These questions and more I leave to others to answer.

In reply to: ...and for style reasons. I think your signature sums it up Sunflower: "While man's desires and aspirations stir he cannot choose but err"

I don't think that the whole topic can be discussed in all facettes without consultation of the expert from http://www.spandexman.com/: - Daniel

Nothing like a man in spandex AND cut-offs (think... WHAM!) Don't sweat it stoney, I know some very nice men who like to do the George Michael too.

In reply to: ...this close to being revoked... That seems a serious case of locking the gate after the horse has bolted. I now realize that my whole life up until now has been mis-spent. I should have been working on a time machine so that when this fateful moment came, I could go back in time and revoke Daniel's privileges before I was exposed to this heinous image. I needed that like a sharp stick in the eye... umhh, wrong simile. Anyway.... As it is, I now have a reason for being in therapy that everyone will understand. P.S. Didn't get the 'camel-toe' allusion for a bit, then it became shockingly clear.
