          Nah, the only reason to get your man card revoked is if you let others decide for you regarding what is or isn’t manly. I’m going to have my quiche now, and I don’t shive a git who thinks it isn’t manly.

          The advantage of pissing off a sibling is that they will never outright kill you. However, since Walky is lacking a beating from those comments, I suspect Sal’s vengeance to be extremely passive-aggressive as well as long and drawn out.

          Or maybe he has no plans to wear them, but genuinely wants to share the joy he’s discovered?

          Because, you know, if it was any of these other ideas you guys have mentioned, he wouldn’t actually have to get Billie involved. He could just, you know, lie about having the girlfriend and stuff.

            It’s about as uncool as a bike can get without being a scooter 😀

            A does not necessarily imply B in this case. Sal’s bike makes her seem cool because it is a cool bike 🙂

          And after he steps out from in front of the slammed door, and the feelings of defeat and rejection that go along with that, I’m sure he’ll immediately start feeling like a winner.

          of course, he still won’t have any pants though…and he lives with mike…and his sister will still be a tool…

          …Man. I don’t see a lot of “win” here…

            Why would he feel defeat and rejection from Sal slamming the door on him? She’s his sister – not only is this probably the ten-thousanth time, which would take the edge off, but they’re too young for him to really care about her opinion anyway.

      I was thinking he meant since he couldn’t wear them (due to not being a girl) he could at least spread the good word to his female friends.

      Which apparently excludes his sister even though she obviously needs pants.

          Yes, but when she got the tattoo she pushed herself across the line of “looks too different from me”, and now she must die.

          She wasn’t sent off to Catholic school because she was bad. She was sent away for her own protection.

    There’s a distinct difference between being a grown-up and being an adult. They’re both grown-ups. I don’t think Walky will ever be an adult, though.

      Womens pants are available in sizes with inseams smaller than what’s available in mens sizes. But they are also vanity sized. I’d really expect Walky to order online whatever size he is in “teen” clothing and then wonder why they sent him Santa pants.

    Uh…aren’t sweatpants sweatpants? Just buy and wear the damn things, Walky. Hold up a pair of men’s sweatpants next to a pair of women’s sweatpants of equal size, and unless the women’s sweatpants have that silly writing on them they’ll look EXACTLY THE SAME. Same material, same design, same everything. Pants designed to hang loosely and grip by an elastic waistband don’t exactly have to be custom cut to suit a male or female frame…

    Sal’s got a hungover roommate in the room, a Walky in one of his mania phases on the doorstep (and she knows what his mania phases are like, she sort of grew up with him), some “family issues” related to being the designated black sheep/probable scapegoat of the family….

    First, I wouldn’t let Walky in to talk with Billie either, if only because his personal style of persuasive rhetoric would drive anyone to look for a large blunt object to make it stop.

    Second, there’s an interesting family dynamic Willis is setting up there.

      It’s pretty neat that he holds so little ill will in him. Just about everything is water off the camel’s back. I suspect it’s exceedingly hard to cross him unintentionally.

      It’s also quite sad that in such a person an accusation of inferiority is what hits too close to home.

    A) Girlfriend who is the same size as him
    B)Sister who is the same size as him
    or
    C) Mom who is the same size as him.

    Problem solved.
