#473 - Rayon

Have you ever been away from home and had something happen were you wound up wearing someone else’s clothes?

In case you missed the link in my Twitter feed yesterday, here’s a closeup of the cover for book 2.

    Yellow isn’t exactly Biff’s colour. He looks like a bald housewife…

    The Duck Has Spoken.

    My sister fell in a pool once and had to borrow clothes. Me, I ended up wearing my cousins’ clothes whenever there were unplanned sleep-overs.

    my family took a trip to washington, dc when i was about twelve years old. on the way, we stopped at my aunt and uncle’s in phillie. well, we get to dc, and we’re unpacking the car into the hotel room, it occurs to me that i still hadn’t seen my suitcase. it had, indeed, been left behind. i spent the entirety of the week dressed in clothes that belonged to either my then- nine year old brother, and a girl cousin who was 15. needless to say i didn’t look like i belonged. to this day, i no longer trust my mother’s packing, and often keep a spare set of clothes or two with.

    That is an…interesting look for biff o_O
    Me? Nope, don’t remember any time where that happened.

    Hm…..nope. I don’t think I have. I’ve had people need to borrow shirts I think before. But I’ll keep my own clothes on thank you very much

    Biff pulls it off with aplomb. I ripped my
    jeans climbing over a fence. Wrapping my
    sweatshirt around my waist,I walked through
    school to my next class, then to my bff’s
    house after for replacement clothes.

    Is Biff actually a Terminator? @_@

  9. tpiro

    Is that a muumuu?

    Actually this has happened to me a lot. One time I was running through a big dried up lake which I then discovered to only have a thin, dried crust on top, and I got muddy up to my knees, then I borrowed my friend’s skirt. Another time I stepped on a skink (very small lizard) in socks and my foot felt wet and disgusting so I borrowed a friend’s sock. Another time I was in my own house, but me and my friends were pissed and we took off our clothes and swapped them around. However, since I was the only girl willing to remove clothes for the sake of having a laugh, I ended up wearing a huge beige t-shirt and a pair of shorts owned by a guy who was smaller than I was. The guy who got to wear my t-shirt and short shorts looked good in my clothes though, even if he stretched out the shoulders of the top.

    Seeing Biff in a dress made my day.

    As for me, I’ve been able to avoid any interesting stories in which I had to wear someone else’s clothes. The only stuff I can remember is wearing an older family member’s sweater on a cold day or something along those lines.

    It could just be that I have experienced a very embarrassing moment in which I had to wear someone else’s clothes, but it was so much so that I’ve surpressed the memory so as to never experience that shred of shame again.

    Further proof that Biff is not human.

    “Your clothes! Give dem to me!”

  13. Adam

    Biff rocks the muumuu rather well…

    Next: Biff tries the precarious world of 4-inch heels! (Maybe?)

  14. MaskedMan

    Ah! The James Cameron school of time travel…
    One wonders why Biff bothered to travel back to the 60s, though - There’s really not all that much there that he’d find interesting. Uneless maybe he was looking for Dr. Leary..? That would explain sooooo much!

  15. R.A.

    Dude, Biff in a dress-thingy rocks. He looks so petulant about it, too, and almost like he’s trying to muster up some dignity.

    You know, if that were the outfit Arnold ha worn in the first Terminator movie instead of the biker dude getup, Sarah Connor would have died of laughter and his mission would have succeeded. Maybe he should have tried that instead?

    *Is waiting for a TARDIS to show up in Time Travel Week*

    Haha

    Another theme week? I predict the next week will be about…
    Kids toys.

    And what did it say about me that my first thought was not “Terminator” but “The Time Traveler’s Wife”?

    When we were about 9, my sister and I went on a trip to the mountains, and she forgot to pack pants, so I had to give her half of mine. (we’re twins, so it worked)

    @ TwitchyHug: great name.
    Anydoodles, I used to have squirt gun fights with my friends during the summer.
    That was always at his house.

    I think I may still have some of his socks just sitting around. I doubt they still fit me.

    Drinking Story:
    I went to a get-together whist in college and was offered a “virgin” pina colada. It tasted virgin, so I had several more.
    Turns out that I was a guinea pig for the host’s new brand of tequila, which they mixed with the drink so well that I couldn’t detect it until too late.

    When I eventually woke up, I was in someone else’s clothing.
    Apparently a few girls who dropped by after I conked out had taken some incriminating photos (at least by my then-girlfriend’s standards) as they used me like a ken doll. It was the only time in my life that I’ve worn a tutu.

    A few weeks ago i accidently put on a pair of my brothers trousers. It was pretty easy to tell that they wern’t mine when I put them on, as he’s a few sizes bigger than me. He’s not huge, but the trousers just dropped right down to my ankles if I didn’t hold them.

    I then went and put my own on

  22. Micah

    Is it just me or does Biff look comforatable? o.O

  23. pieman

    this is merely a representation of how creeped out i was. it was actually much more than this. i’m a bit less now. it’s currently about o_O.

    the closest thing to this that happened to me, was we went to my grandads one holiday in lincoln, which was quite faw away from where we live, and my dad forgot to put my bag in the van, so sfter driving all the way to lincoln, he unpacked the bags, realised mine was missing, drove all the way back, picked my bag up, drove to lincoln again.

    GOD, that was one stressed out start to the holidays.

    oh and sorry ’bout the big pic.

  24. pieman

    note: the pic in the previous post was supposed to be a mega version of the O_o. you obviously cant put more’n one space in on place. Aw well.

  25. the Scarf

    Do I sense a return of Biffanny?

  26. Joshua Reese

    Yea I have had that happen once, it was after me and my friend decided to see what pepper spray felt like. I was in pain for 5 hours afterwards. And also ended up wearing his bathrobe and a pair of his shorts and one of his shirts.
