According to Hofmann: No pants for the working man - Uniontown Herald Standard

According to Hofmann: No pants for the working man - Uniontown Herald Standard

Posted: 13 Jun 2020 11:00 PM PDT

For those working from home and those who hate wearing work-appropriate pants or wearing pants at all, there's hope for you in this post or pre-post or post-pre-post-COVID-19 world.

It seems that a Finnish fashion retailer has created a line of what's classified as half-formal outfits that feature acceptable clothing for office work from the waist up, and what's considered to be home attire from the waist down.

That, of course, is for those working at home and taking part in video conferences with your bosses and coworkers as they can see you only from your chest up to your head depending on how far you sit away from the camera.

Let's be honest, the only reason they decided to do a video conference is so they can finally look in your home to identify all the office items you've stolen over the years.

The fashion retailer, Prisma, released a YouTube video showing the ad for this new line of clothing named Telcollection. It shows models wearing dress shirts and jackets that you would see in the workplace and below those clothes, well, it's pretty much boxer shorts or spandex pants.

Normally when I see something that stupid, I have to find the price tag on such an outfit because if it's over $15, it deserves to be ruthlessly mocked, then tarred and feathered in the public square, which is now social media.

I tried navigating Prisma's website to find the prices for the clothing line, but seeing that everything on the website is in Finnish, the only thing I achieved was accidentally purchasing a cruise ship that's set to sail out of Finland next month.

But if the price tag for the Telcollection is anything like America's prices for high-concept, low-inspirational fashion, it's probably as much as a cruise ship or whatever adds up to 49 monthly payments of 439,520 euros.

Now, if I haven't made it clear thus far, I think this fashion line is a really stupid idea for a number of reasons, which is a multiple of one in this case.

First, it doesn't matter if you buy special boxer shorts because you're on a video call where nobody can see below your waist anyway. So, really, who are you trying to impress?

When I'm on a video conference call for work or taking part in a video appointment to show my doctor a new "unexplained" rash, I'm normally wearing one of my few non-Ronnie James Dio t-shirts over that day's mumu.

If you've never done a work-from-home-mumu day, do yourself a favor and try it!

But all seriousness aside, they say the mother of invention is necessity and the baddest mother of invention is John Shaft.

What that means is companies need to stop worrying about inventing clothing because people are going to wear whatever they can find and for whatever reason--Christopher Columbus Mumu Day is a perfect example.

The focus from clothing companies should rather be on eliminating domestic distractions and disasters experienced by the work-from-home employee.

For instance, when I'm involved in a video conference, a number of things are normally happening in the background or in the foreground like the dog barking, my mom walking behind me while signing Peter, Paul and Mary songs over and over, and my kid coming to my side to whisper in my ear that she's hungry or she solved the age-old debate of nature versus nurture's influence on a human being's personality.

What I'm trying to say is we need sound-activated shock collars around the perimeter of our computers and/or phones while participating in a video conference or whenever family members or pets distract us from our daily work.

Don't get me wrong. The shock collars will not be used to neither kill nor even knock out the wearer, but as a friendly, stinging reminder to not misbehave in the hopes that some lessons need to be learned and most rules need to be followed.

That's the reason why my bosses now have me wearing such a prototype shock collar after a video conference where they spotted various staplers and paper clips that "mysteriously" vanished from the newsroom.

I knew I should have hidden them in the mumu.

Why you should plant some pants in your garden in France - The Connexion

Posted: 14 Jun 2020 01:47 AM PDT

The campaign, #PlanteTonSlip ("Plant Your Pants"), has been relaunched by the ecology agency l'Agence de la Transition Écologique (Ademe) to give people a simple way to check the health of their garden soil.

To take part, you need a pair of clean, new pants made of 100% cotton - preferably organic - that have a label inside and elastic at the top.

You should then bury them in your soil, at a depth of about 15 cm. Leave for two months. Then, dig up your pants and check their condition.

The healthier the soil, the less of the pants should remain, as the organisms and small insects in the ground will have begun to "consume" the cotton. All that will be left are the label and the elastic. If your pants - cotton included - are almost intact, it means there is not much life in the soil.

A pair of pants is used because the elastic and label in them will not degrade as quickly, meaning that you can easily identify them after two months, even if the cotton has largely disappeared.

To take part in the campaign, post your before and after photos online - either on social media or to the campaign's dedicated website - along with the hashtag #PlanteTonSlip.

Pig farmer and cereal producer Jérôme Leduc tried the experiment and told news service FranceInfo: "I thought there would be a bit more fabric than that left. Today we almost have a thong, whereas before we had some big beautiful pants!"

summer pants

Since it's *almost* officially summer (at least it feels like it), it's time to start saying bye to all our jackets and layers and hellooo to bathing suits, tank tops, and shorts. But!!! Don't forget that summer pants are an option too. Just keep an eye out for styles that are made out of lighter fabrics and breezy silhouettes. That way you won't have to worry about sweat stains ruining your lewks.

Whether you want a quick-drying pair to wear over that bathing suit or something a bit dressier for special moments, you have tons of options below, my friend. Pick out some fun colors to add to your collection (ooh, is that tangerine orange I see?!?!) or go wild with dramatic flares and sheer details. Either way, you'll be happy you dropped one of the lightweight summer pants below into your cart.
