    But what about your legs... they think just your waist gets bigger?

    @Seanross: I have very large calves, and I can tell you that if I wear jeans that are a little tight in that area, I lose all the hair in that area. If you just loosen the waistband, and not the seat, every time you put your wallet in your pants, it will pop out.

    @homerjay- Smiling politely:
    If you don't like to wear your jeans loose enough to fall down every time you take a step, they do shrink a bit over time. It may sound stupid, but if you buy brand-new jeans of the same brand, line, and size, they will usually fit considerably looser than a pair you've had for a while.


    Me, I got something wierder going on. The last two times I bought jeans, I bought the same brand/line/size (I have since double-checked the tags just to be sure), but one batch has a noticably smaller waist than the other set (which can be verified by holding one pair flat against the other, resulting in about 1/2" difference in width, or a full inch in total waist size). The larger pairs are just a bit too loose to wear without a belt, and the smaller ones are just snug enough that I almost don't need one. I'm left wondering if I didn't get a batch of jeans that were accidentally mislabeled. The only other explanation I can think of is that I think I ordered them in different colors (where I live, I can only reliably find jeans that are several inches too short or too fat on store shelves), and the stonewash option might produce a different fit than whatever the other color was.

    Let me guess. Was one of those colors purple?

    @Jrsy is the dude, playing the dude disguised as another dude:
    No, actually, Levi's aren't available in purple. Not in the US, at least. I think the colors were stonewashed and light indigo, but I can't remember which is which (one is just a touch darker than the other)


    @lpranal:
    This is all between same brand, same line, same stated size, and the slightly darker jeans fit noticably looser than the slightly lighter ones.

    @Purple Dave: That's pretty normal variation within a batch of jeans that are ostensibly of the same size and cut. That's why you can't rely upon sizing info to buy jeans online. You have to try them on in person.

    @dc-united:
    In order to get the length, I think I'd have to be at least a 40 waist (not even close). In order to get the waist, I'd have to have no longer than a 34 leg (or be super tall so I could pretend they were shorts). Apparently all the tall people in the area are really fat, but the short people aren't so much.

    @homerjay- Smiling politely: As someone who lost ~80lbs, you find relatives to donate them to, or you use them for sewing projects. I had a lovely denim notepad holder, till I replaced it with one made of an old pair of my size 40 khakis.

    I think its time to retire this meme.


    I mean, when the Macy's parade people are booking Astley to RickRoll their own parade, something has gone sour.


    Now, if Astley just showed up at random events unannounced and did this, this shit is back on.

    Now, what would be totally sweet is if Obama did this in the middle of a national speech.

    ...just minding its own business when...Rick Astley showed up and spoiled all the fun. Man, what's with that guy??
    Well, I totally understand why they'd want him in the parade. What's Thanksgiving without a turkey?


    Way to opportunistically revive a long-dead career, Rick!

    Aren't there some microwaves that can also brown the food's surface? I would hate to eat a cooked turkey with white soft skin, eeew

    @Nintenboy01:
    Sure, why not? Throw the turkey in the microwave, throw the microwave in a nice preheated oven, and wait the standard several hours for the bird to cook. You might now want to eat it afterwards (and you might die if you do...), but it'll be nice and brown on the outside, and it will legitimately have been cooked inside a microwave.
