Cloud Pants!

I was shopping the other day with my family. My wife was looking in the women's section of JC Penney's and I was kinda following her, when all of the sudden, out of the corner of my eye I spotted these gems (pic above) on the clearance rack.
I once told my friend Nick the story of the cloud pants and he still picks on me occasionally about it, but here goes...
I don't remember what show my mom saw it on, but sometime in the mid to late 80's my mom saw someone on TV alter some blue jeans by putting rubber bands in certain spots and bleaching those spots (kinda like a tie-dyed shirt). This person called them cloud pants. My mom made me a pair of cloud pants out of some Rustler jeans that I had (for those of you who never had Rustlers, they were the tightest package-exposing jeans out there and they came in 3 styles: blue nut huggers, dark blue testicle stranglers, and black ball chokers). The cloud pants actually became a little mini-trend in my elementary school. Anyway, they looked sort of like the pants in the picture above and seeing these jeans made me a little nostalgic. It's nice to see they are making a comeback! THEY DO SO EXIST, NICK!
