In Your Pants

So I ran across this yesterday.

And since I love the Harry Potter, I thought the song was too funny.

So I went to this guy's website, and it turns out that he and his brother, John Green (author of An Abundance of Katherines and Looking for Alaska), are performing this experiment where they only communicate through video blogs for a full year. I started watching their videos, and (long story short) they crack me up.

Now, I know you've all heard of the thing you do when you eat a fortune cookie - you immediately have to add "in bed" to the end of whatever the fortune may be - i.e. "A new career opportunity will present itself - in bed." So yeah, haha. Not that funny. But these guys have taken it even further. Turns out "in your pants" works very well for books. So Flannery O'Connor's classic "A Good Man is Hard to Find" becomes "A Good Man is Hard to Find In Your Pants."

So true.

Of course it becomes hysterically funny when you're telling your mother about this over lunch in the church library, and you can't look anywhere with out finding another insanely hysterical one (or hideously inappropriate one). For instance -

Perilous Pursuits In Your Pants
How Now Shall We Live? In Your Pants
This Too Shall Pass In Your Pants

Oh the list goes on.

Anyway.

I invite each of you to discover what hidden treasures lie in your bookshelves. Or your pants.
