To all of you haters out there that seem to think that spandex was hell-sent by the Antichrist himself in order to torture our mortal souls-

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH SPANDEX.
SPANDEX CAN BE YOUR FRIEND.
IT TAKES A REAL MAN TO PULL OFF SPANDEX.

LET'S JUST ALL ADMIT THIS AND MOVE ON.
THE SPHERE WILL BE A BETTER PLACE FOR IT.

peace out, in love and

TESTIFY

At least I know what I'm getting everyone for Christmas now.

SING IT WITH ME BROTHER

Survey says you should find the Edensphere Suggestion Box and so totally file a report requesting universal spandex day, Dub. Best idea you've had in weeks. And your ideas usually rock.

[unlostsoul]

AMEN

I am terrified by the thought that Edensphere probably actually does have a suggestion box somewhere. But anyway, this is an excellent idea, and I think it is in everyone's best interest to realize the joys of spandex and it's... uh, lack of wind resistance?

[child_proteus]

HALLELUJAH KUMBAYA THE NEXT ROUND IS ON ME

Okay, so you know, now that it's been said out loud, the Sphere is probably making a box as we speak, only tucking it someplace nobody can get to, so it goes ignored and empty and ignorant of our excellent plan. Bah.

Lack of wind resistance, huh? Leave it to me to have a BF who would list aerodynamic tendencies as the number one reason to be all Yay! Spandex!.

[shining_bind]

I see no problem with personal choices when it comes to garments. Spandex could, in fact, be comfortable, I assume. The way it clings to the body could prove to be an advantage in reducing the likelihood of cloth catching on anything or tangling.

[child_proteus]

Ah, see? The voice of reason has arrived to the party. There is so much more to spandex other than poor air circulation and questionable color choices.

So. What's your name, oh wise one? I don't think we've actually ever met.

Purple spandex = questionable colour chice?

[shining_bind]

I simply see the logistics. It would certainly make fighting easier than loose clothing does.

Heh. My name is Seraph. And yourself?

Are we talking plum? Or are we talking lilac? ONE OF THESE OPTIONS IS CLEARLY QUESTIONABLE.

[child_proteus]

Now if only we could convince other people of the logisitics. I mean, where are all the ninjas out there? They should totally be leading this charge! What says "I am one with the shadows" more than an all-black spandex body suit? Nothing, I tell you. Nothing.

Ah, Seraph. You're the one that Chosen calls 'Old Man'. (Are you really that old?)

I'm Throne.

[lizardoverdose]

pants, optional, etc and so forth.

[child_proteus]

You know, I used to not be behind the no-pants thing. But now I'm starting to think that we of alternative clothing-lifestyle choices need to band together in a show of solidarity.

So you can take your lack of pants, S-dawg, and I can take my odd and seemingly totally random respect for spandex and create a united front. What do you say?

[lizardoverdose]

And thus we were bound together in an eternal respect for alternative clothing lifestyles. Amen.

[child_proteus]

Hells yeah, my pantsless brother.

[ circles one of Want's entries above and circles it, labeling it 'WANT' ]

That's Want. He'll be joining us in the revolution. He's not a loser and is awesome and may straggle if I make him. You two should totally make nice.

He's totally down with the carbonated beverages too.

[rustyarmor]

Nii-san, you seem to feel pretty strongly about this. Is spandex really nice? I'm having trouble imagining what it's like, since it's something I don't think I've ever seen before.

[child_proteus]

I do feel strongly about this, little bro! Spandex should be taken seriously! And respected for the miracle of modern science and ingenuity that is!

Imagine a teeny tiny shirt, FM. Like, small enough to fit a baby, but then imagine it being able to stretch large enough to fit you. HOW AWESOME IS THAT?

FM is converted like woah to spandex!

[rustyarmor]

Wow, it does sound pretty amazing! You could save a lot of space packing your suitcase if all of your clothes were like that! The materials must be difficult to find though. Such an amazing piece of clothing can't be easy to make!

HOW CAN YOU NOT BE CONVERTED TO THE GLORY OF MICROFIBER.

[child_proteus]

Well in some worlds, I think it's pretty commonplace. Made to replace various natural sources of cloth like cotton and silk -- all of that jazz? I'm pretty sure it's made in a laboratory somewhere and comes out of a beaker and test tubes or something.

But you are right, Fullmetal. It's definitely amazing. It's good for fighting, since it doesn't get in the way, and sort of moves along with your body.

[saleskitten]

Oh all right, all right, Throne! You win!

But if you get everyone spandex for christmas, I will put my foot down!

[child_proteus]

Kitty, I'm sure there's some way for you to fully embrace and accept the glory that is spandex. Maybe it's not so much you actually wearing it as watching somebody else wear it?

If it's the right person, it makes a totally convincing argument, I swear.

[saleskitten]

The right person?

Er, like who?

[child_proteus]

Pick somebody you really really like.

That usually helps.
