it can't match these so-called "dress" pants
Huh? Why not?
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Because then it would be a suit.
ETA: I can't quite explain, but it is inherent awkwardness of both blazers and dress pants-- I assume that he means dress pants are for dinner and cocktails, which does not go with a blazer to me. Whichever way you fall on it, the very confusion here about what these items are for is indicative of the poorly- adapted- to- women nature of the list.

I don't consider any of my blazers that go with any of my pants to suddenly be part of suits. And if they mutate I don't see what the problem would be.
I still cannot find my damned meds. This is irritating, but I'm not allowed to get irritated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"Match" is not the same as "go with." I learned that from Clinton and Stacy.

Granted. But I still don't know what the problem with them matching is, and also what the problem with them not matching is.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. I did something to my knee. The one that was injured when I was hit by the car 16 years ago. I was in Borders, took a step, and there was sudden pain. I had to fight the urge to just let that leg collapse. The next three or four steps were the same way. I tried walking slowly and carefully and it was fine, except once ever few minutes a step would result in pain.
Dunno what I did to it. A few months ago I hurt my knee when I ran across the street to catch a bus. After two weeks the pain went away.
Now I'm wondering if I should have a doctor look at it.

First off, rest, ice, compress and elevate. If it's swollen, you might want to wait a few days to take it in, just so they can see more easily what's wrong after the inflammation has lessened.
I always recommend having doctors look at knees. They're crappy engineering.

Cool.

Yeah. Almost as if some Intelligent Designer took the knees of a quadruped and, um... watched from the side as they evolved into knees for a biped.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Dammit Tommyrot, do you have to go blabbing all my secrets? You'll keep your mouth shut about design flaws in the future if'n you know what's good for you. Like, nice appendix you've got there. Be a real shame if anything were to happen to it...
