A bird? A plane? No! It's underpants!

Last night vagabondsal and I had a very deep and meaningful discussion on a subject close to the human, well, condition. He felt the conclusions we drew would benefit all, so he posted it like the considerate guy he is.

But then we didn't stop there, like sane people might have done, or those who'd had less coffee...
 

vagabondsal: ...right, I've no choice now. *reposts to LJ*
flightykaren: Kara: Why *do* you wear them on the outside?
flightykaren: Clark: ... It's a human symbol of power and, like, respectability, okay?
flightykaren: Clark: And part of the custom is that you're not allowed to bring it up.
flightykaren: Kara: So when I prove myself, then I can wear underclothes?
flightykaren: Clark: ...
flightykaren: Clark: *mumbles* You'll have to talk to my mother.
vagabondsal: Bruce: Way to go, last son.
flightykaren: Clark: You shut up.
flightykaren: Bruce: My ward wore underwear.
flightykaren: Clark: He didn't wear any pants!
flightykaren: Hah! You did post it to lj, too.
flightykaren: *nods* Which is right and proper. Fandom needed to see that letter.
vagabondsal: I am formatting the second bit now! I suck at copypaste, woe.
flightykaren: Somehow I think that arguing Kara's outfit is about as conservative as Dick's was is not the way to go.
flightykaren: Unless perhaps you're going towards porn.
vagabondsal: ...augh, brain, don't go to the Vertebrae Lass/Nightwing place.
flightykaren: Actually... my brain went to the "Clark and Bruce dress up" place. So they can *compare*
vagabondsal: ...
vagabondsal: ...
vagabondsal: ...
flightykaren: And then they'd have to trade. To remove experimental bias.
flightykaren: *Between trials.
flightykaren: Lois: *walks in* Oh, not this again.
vagabondsal: That's surely grounds for divorce, one imagines.
flightykaren: Lois: I take it back. The short kilts were *not* manly.
flightykaren: Bruce: Hello, Lois.
flightykaren: Lois: Bruce.
flightykaren: Lois: *My* lingerie is off limits this time, alright?
flightykaren: Lois: *grabs folders. leaves*
flightykaren: Bruce: Hnn.
flightykaren: Bruce: *I* thought it was manly.
vagabondsal: Yes, well. One need only look at the things that Bruce made his wards wear.
flightykaren: I think once you marry an alien, you learn to take things in stride?
vagabondsal: Well, it's certainly a mind-opening experience.
flightykaren: Hee! My mood icon looks like it's reading porn!
vagabondsal: That explains the motion lines!
flightykaren: *reads chat log*
flightykaren: We are very silly people.
vagabondsal: ...this is news to who, exactly? ;-)



So, yes. I think the moral to draw from this is that some people *never stop being twelve*.
