Ask the MB -- White Pants Q & A

Ask the MB -- White Pants Q & A
Q: Please tell me that the bastard on your front page banner isn't wearing linen pants.
--John

A: No, the Magnificent Bastard on the front page banner is most definitely not wearing linen pants, because we've all witnessed the disaster they turn into. Just cotton with a dash of elastane.


Q: Again with the white pants. At the risk of sounding like Tim the homophobe, I'm concerned that you may not appreciate the gay factor of some of these endorsements. I have prepared this graph for your reference.
