The Gang's All Weird

And I Suspect They Know It

          Weird, yes, God knows, MAGA people are weird, and it makes us feel better to call them out on it, if only because we are sick and tired of saying "existential threat" and "unhinged."

            But do they have a problem with weird? What if they take it as a badge of honor?

            Research time. I just Googled "sans-culottes."

            Not that I was expecting French porn, but I did think a revolutionary lack of knickers might be a little spicier. The lower-class activists in the French Revolution were proud, I gather, to be called by their natural work pants, or pantalon, which look like longish pajama bottoms of today, only trimmer and less revealing at the ankle. If anything looks weird, it's the silken knee-breeches of the dandy rich.

            Lingering just a bit in this area of research, do you know what I think is the sexiest form of underwear?

            No. Not a butt-floss thong. A butt-floss thong must be uncomfortable. Can you loosen a butt-floss thong? Not without defeating its purpose. (Minimalism.) There’s no play, no give, in a butt-floss thong.

            But now you take tap pants.
