Ha, Vimes would agree with me.
Not the Discworld Night Watch, the B5 Nightwatch. Too many damn night watches out there.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Now the pants with the booty writing? Viva la revolucion!
Though I've gotta say, if I found a pair that was larger than a postage stamp, and said "Why are you reading my butt?", I might be forced to get them just on principle.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
What about CRANKY pants?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Kat has a pair of those. They are awesome.
Or maybe she just made them. I can't remember.

What is even happening?
Oh WROD! They are the first thing ever that made me think, "no daughter of MINE..."
Probably about 5 years ago, we saw a youngish teenaged girl with "booty" or "bootilicious" or something like that on the seat of her shorts or sweats, and that was the first time I ever heard Scott utter a, "No daughter of mine..." statement.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Cranky pants get an exemption from the rule, which is otherwise inviolate.
ETA: She made them. I keep thinking about doing the same, but it's on my will never actually happen list.

I'm safe, then, I never watched B5
There was a great little speech from the Night Watch (an Orwellian implementation group) dude in B5 which I was reminded of by your post but I can't remember it... ah, but the Internet provides.
"As the name implies, you must also be watchful. Peace can be made or broken with a gun, a word, an idea, even a thought. Now, those who work against peace sow the seeds of discontent. They plant false stories, they undermine the public good. It's not because they are necessarily evil. It's because they don't know any better. They're rejected, they're unhappy, and they lash out in the only way they can. So, If we could be made aware of these problems as they occur, then we can find these people, we can talk to these people, we can embrace them again in the arms of society, while, at the same time, protecting society from misinformation and harmful ideas. We're less interested in actions than we are in attitudes. We must help protect society against its own worst instincts. And by taking these bold steps, we will help to ensure a better future for everyone. I'm proud to be a part of it, and I hope you'll all join me in becoming part of the Night Watch."
