It looks like they are really playing up the curmudgeon bullshit. I get to be Mr. Wilson.
"GET OFF OF MY LAWN!"
"WE ARE NOT MAKING JEANS!"
This production is obsessed with us making our own jeans. Which is just not economically feasible. It is really impossible at the level we are working at. But that doesn't stop the TV guys.
So the plot is that the girls are scheming and plotting to make jeans and I keep saying NO! They have a lot of footage of me telling them they can't do it and yelling at the production people and generally being a dick.
What most people don't understand is that every business needs a dick. Somebody who is yelling at people and keeping them in line or making them do something they don't want to do. So saying no is what I do. I tell the customers I am not refunding their money and they only get store credit. I tell them they can't return something a year later. I tell the vendors that I am not going to accept the wrong jeans when they send missy instead of women's sizes. Most of all I have to act like a dick so Lisa can stay above it and be everybody's friend. I don't really care. I already have too many friends. I don't need anymore. I also am not going to make jeans.
Because when it comes to running a store, these TV people don't know dick.

Didn't you go out to California a couple years ago to see about making jeans?
I remember you blogged the adventure and that you hated it out here.
Anyways, Trooper York in L.A. would be like Mad Men moving out here. Hasn't happened since Carson came out to Burbank.
WTF do I know? I'm just makin' shit up out of whole cloth.
Well went out to look at the fabric warehouses and to meet the cutting services and the contractors.
Going to Cali will be a season 2 episode.
They are already talking about it.
I-am-a scared Norton.
We will of course have a super secret commenter meet up though.
We will proably be staying in Huntington Beach I think.

That's kinda halfway between where I'm at and where I think blake is up in Porn Valley. Maybe we could get him to put some pants on and meet up.:)
I could be silly fun!
What?! No returns after a year?
They are already planning episodes for season two? Outstanding!
So even if you get filthy rich, no jeans?
Just a word about all the great new denim with the Spandex or Lycra, I won't wear any other kind, so comfortable and attractive.
You need to be happy go lucky like those Boston fans...
Just don't move to Boston.
Discussion of deletions is off-topic and therefore deleted.
Discussion of discussions may not be discussed or they will be discussed, unless my delegated un-discusser un-discusses them. If you want to discuss this, discuss it in a private discussion.
I will wear shorts.
In honor.

Let us know.... I have family in the area. I'll bring some Scotch.
You must go to Koreatown for BBQ ...Dan Sungsa on W 6th is our fav...it's old school.
The food trucks in LA are awesome...just about anything you can imagine and then some... here's a twitter food truck tracker/finder.
Maybe this show needs to have a "beef box" like the old Joe Pyne Show. I doubt you youngn's remember Joe..a true tv pioneer.
Not sure Troop wants to go as far as getting a wooden leg, however.
STATE YOUR BEEF!!!
You've touched on one of my bete noirs Troop..we need another line of fake jeans like we need more Kardashians.
Jeebus...how dumb does one have to be to spend 3 or 4 times more than for a pair of 5-pocket Levis or Wranglers?
The only time I wanna hear the word "stretch" and jeans in a sentence is if you're telling me that the guy in the jeans is named Stretch.
Jeggings are wonderful, and skinny jeans too, that are not going to make you feel you are encased in a sausage.
Lycra in jeans is revolutionary and women of size can wear attractive jeans and be comfortable, after a certain age it's all about comfort.
My daughters and I all wear the stretchy jeans, none of us carry any extra weight, still love them and they look great on long leggy women. If a woman has some weight they could wear a pretty flown type peasant blouse over them , one that reaches past the hips, to mid thigh.
I have non stretchy jeans and stretchy both. Since losing some weight the traditional denim is comfortable, but when I was 35 pounds heavier, I hated wearing jeans.
Flowing
TMI.
Hey Troop, you make jeans?
Yes, yes, I know he doesn't want to make jeans, it's just a discussion about jeans and comfort..... Just in case he changes his mind.
No Sixty, lol, if it was I that was flowing it would be a miracle, at age 60, or someone put some hormones in my yogurt.
But you knew that;)
All in all, none of my business. Just goofin' around here.
