Things to get you thinking. Monday, February 26, 2007. Polo Shirt To Pants! Http:/ www2.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif. I was going to get rid of one of Ben's old polo shirts - he got it as a gift for his 21st - so that would make it 10 years old this year and he hardly wore it. So anyway, thought I would try to make some pants with it after a friend tipped me off to this T Shirt Surgery tutorial. Ben thinks they look a little weird but he's no fashion expert!

Billy Connolly’s 13 Things I Hate About People. 1 People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.I know where my watch is pal, where the $%#@ is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is? 2 People who are willing to get off their arse to search the entire room for the tv remote because they refuse to walk to the tv and change the channel manually.
