Behold, the Uni-Leg.

Now, wasn't there already a name for leg-covering garments into which one places both legs?

Note that it's now sold out, so Doors is out of luck.

Yes. it's called a skirt.

But men don'y wear skirts but they seem to be able to wear the uni-leg pants...

Next it will be man-boob suspenders...

::slightly speechless::

... well, now that they have ripped off a basic skirt design (which has only been around, oh, for a few millenia or so), I hope they also bothered to steal the vertical-slit-in-the-back concept, to allow for leg movement! Otherwise that kid won't be able to do much but stand and look emo.

P.S. There already ARE man-boob suspenders. They're called bros!

Now based on the name alone, I was expecting half a pair of trousers (and therefore one bare leg), now that would have been original.

I only read the first sentence and clicked, thinking it was going to be a scientific mechanical robotic marvel. It was just too much to hop for I suppose.

Damn, you beat me to it Kat... so I'll have a chortle instead.

Scotsmen have also been wearing a mini version for some time as well. But I have been told it gets a bit breezy round the Trossachs at this time of year.

I was kind of wondering that myself, but it conjured up too many wrong images in my brain so I had to stop and take a pink pill...

Now Ba, you know my birthday's not until the summer, and as much as i appreciate new sacrificial morons, they don't keep so well in the freezer. I really must insist upon having fresh.
