‘If these pants could talk …’ makes a fun idea for a fun contest for writers

I’ve got a favorite pair of jeans that I’ve just about worn ragged, literally. Since I work from home, I spend a lot of time sitting around in them, strolling around the yard, going back and forth from my writing area to the kitchen for coffee, and occasionally doing some work around the house. I wonder what a “day in the life of my jeans” would sound like if those jeans could talk …

“Ouch. Here we go again. You’ve gotta get some of that weight off. You’re stretching my seams to the limit there, Big Guy. Maybe you should be walking more and sitting less? Not to mention the wear and tear on our back end, Fella.

“And we really need to talk about the waste button issue, don’t you think? Belts are made for extended notches, but jeans button holes aren’t, ya know what I mean, Pal?

“Probably we could both handle all this stress better if I were a nice pair of Dockers, don’t ya think??”

I don’t know what brand your favorite pants are, nor what they would tell you about their/your day if they could talk — but there’s a fun Dockers contest going on right now for those of you who do video. Go to that Dockers contest link to find out more about it and to submit YOUR video story about your pants as a possible Dockers commercial. The winning video will be shown on NBC’s “Tonight Show With Jay Leno,” according to their contest information.

Take a look around the site, think about your favorite pants, break out your video camera, and give it a try.
