These people went on to develop a pornographic dragon quest parody game called knobster quest. It's a game about a lobster made of dick skin who's quest is to defeat the giant clam that holds the secret of the ocean(the secret is that the ocean is a big pool of cum in my dog walkers back yard). Great game but the fleshlight controller you need for it is pretty expensive and also useless if you have severe erectile dysfunction. I tried returning it but I guess you can't return used fleshlights to Giant Tiger because they don't sell them there. Oh well, there's 377 bucks down the drain. Maybe I'll get some boner pills so I can play their knobstronaut game when it comes out, I've heard you play as a normal human astronaut but your spacesuit is made entirely of foreskin.

If you work in demolitions, that might be viewed as a go getter attitude.

They aren't just still out there, they're now being made again. Not by the same company(I assume), but the same width is popular now with gen A I think. Since skinny jeans where officially labeled as "out" in 2016 and I've been waiting for wider jeans to get to jnco level and they did. It's glorious and even funnier the second time around.

No no, I voluntarily moved on to skinny jeans around 2005 (Don't worry, I eventually voluntarily moved on from those too).

They were so expensive at their peak and I'm convinced it was due almost as much to raw amount of material as it was their popularity.

How heavy were they? Did it feel like trying to walk through a swimming pool?

My high school had a 50/50 mix of wealthy/normal kids, I vaguely recall one wealthy popular boy wearing these senior year.

I generally donโ€™t participate in fashion trends so I never have cause to look back on my past self and cringe.

With one obnoxiously baggy exception.

iirc the new company was re-established by one of the original owners. I think Tripp NYC is still around and having a comeback too. (neither one was ever my thing tho...)

Ton of heavy fabric and they're made well with high quality stitching & details & the company hopefully pays their employees dignified living wages.

1992 I was a teenager when it happened and I saw it in my high school. They tried to be in style but were never really in style. A few kids with wealthy parents bought them and wore them maybe once or twice, but they were actually embarrassed to wear these.

The things I wear, it wouldn't be these that are embarrassing. Besides, it would be rad at metal shows. It wouldn't even stand out.

Pretty sure you can make a full size skirt out of each leg and still have a pair of jorts leftover.

Okay enjoy then. I suppose they could be useful for smuggling in a lot of extra contraband to events and for shoplifting haha

Did you feel embarrassed wearing those? Or were you feeling super stylish and everyone thought you were super hot?

The amount of shame is tied to the time between wearing them.
