Inventions for the Odd...

Came across this last night while surfing, and was struck by the sheer WTFery of it all...

There’s Absolutely No Shame In Wearing Pants With a Built-in Picnic Table
By adding a triangular patch of fabric to the crotch and a strategically oriented pocket on the side, the geniuses at Aquacalda have created these Pic Nic Pants—the perfect jeans for a complete dining experience wherever you choose to plop down.
The pants in question:

I'm trying to figure out exactly what the point of wearing clothes that make you look like a Eupetaurus cinereus. Are we really so far gone that we need a flap of clothing in our crotch to handle a plate? Really? This sounds like one of those things that people come up with while drunk:

[drunk guy #1] You know what I wish my pants had?
[drunk guy #2] What's that, man?
[drunk guy #1] A built-in picnic table, man! That'd be cool
[drunk guy #2] vomits

Picnic table pants: violating everything Robb Allen stands for...

That is all.

You can do the same thing with your Kilt...but these pants won't get you through a TSA screening!

Advantage Kilt!

Heh. I blogged about these earlier this month, and called them a 'semi-detached kilt' at the time.

Sounds just like the perfect gift to give to some Hippie who wants to "Occupy" something. They can roll a joint, eat their TOFU, take notes in their copy of the Communist Manifesto, watch the latest Obama Campaign Vid, why, the list goes on and on!

@weer'd: Hmmm... I've got a business flight coming up. Would you recommend the survival kilt or the pinstripe one with matching vest and spats for the TSA?

I actually have to wear pants like that to hide my massive manhood.

I'd be more inclined to buy something with a detachable bib on it. Might save the light colored tees from the pizza sauce.

Something like that has already been invented. It is called a "Bellevue Bridge", a medical device, not the bridge over the Missouri River in Bellevue, Nebraska.

Actually, quite handy. That's a rather doofus application, but imagine yourself sitting at your workbench, with assorted lit'l gun bits spread out. How often do said gun bits wildly embrace gravity in an attempt to explore the floor?

Jewelers have been using something similar for centuries.
