I Couldn’t Do This Job

Being the acrophobic that I am, I couldn’t do what these guys are doing. But I do want to wear those tabi boots (足袋) and baggy pants (ニッカズボン). Don’t you think they’re just the coolest things in Japan? We should all wear these as regular clothes. I’m sure we all have a hidden desire to wear these pants and I bet some of the guys who do construction work became construction workers JUST so they could wear these pants. That’s not so strange as many women become flight attendants just to wear the uniform. We all have a little cosplay in us, don’t we? Those pants are called nikkazubon which is derived from knicker-bocker and zubon, the Japanese word for trousers. Some of the names of the different styles are really funny like 超超超ロング八分 and they come is soooo many colors too! Check out http://www.toraichi.com

Now if you could only get your girlfriend to wear indigo monpe モンペ。

Actually, I always thought ニッカズボン or 乗馬ズボン were called ジョドパーズ。

Man, I am so out of date. Or should I say out of dates? Maybe it’s my vintage おやじ匂い oyaji fragrance.

Who cares? Hey, it’s noon. I’ve been up three hours already. Think I’ll take a nap. Hope I don’t tear the sheets again with my rip-roaring farts.

Those モンペ looks like the pants bodybuildings wear at Golds Gym.

Thanks for telling us about your flatulents. That’s just want we all needed right after lunch. >:(

I have to say this again : “relatively normal” ^_^

But cosplay is fun, just not on me.

JCG: This is just my online persona. I’m very normal in real life.
