This blog had one purpose and one purpose only: To celebrate and comment on the YouTube video of a guy jumping into his pants from various original positions, seen here.

Now, I know what you're thinking: Lauren, you've got to be kidding me. Why in the hell do you think this is cool?

And I'd come back with: Well, c'mon, my friend. It's one of the most original ideas you've seen in a long time and you know it. It's been viewed close to 1.5 million times! That's million! They all can't be wrong. It's blowing up as we speak!

And they'd say: Yea, you're right, you're always right. When will I learn? Want to go get some Jamba Juice?

And my retort would be: Yea sure, but you're buying.

That last part is sort of a non-sequiter, but it's realistic nonetheless, because you would buy. Anyway, back to the guy jumping into his pants. The person filming starts off with the guy jumping into his pants off of a bed. Cool enough right?

But then he jumps off of his friend's shoulders and into his pants. As an aside right here, I'd like to point out two things. First, the guy holding the pants is the coolest friend ever and I am totally envious of his master 'fro. And second, take not of the fact that the jumper does his pants up every time, as if the trick isn't complete until his pants are zipped and buttoned.

Then , the jumper proceeds to jump into his pants off of a fence frame and does a back flip off of a car into his jeans. Again, take time to notice all the little details, like the frickin' sweet Volvo that makes a cameo in the background as the jumper is zipping it up after the car stunt.

Mr. 'Fro Master jumps off of a ledge that looks to be about 10 feet off the ground and into his pants. These boys are approaching the Supercool Fo' Real Badass status that I will have assigned them as the end of this blog.

Through various other situations where these guys get the opportunity to jump into their pants (the STOP sign swing is my second favorite), they're inches away from being Supercool Fo' Feal Badasses.

As if you thought that these men could not get any cooler and are kicking yourself repeatedly in the shins for not coming up with this idea first, they do it! They take the audience's breath away. They make me say "Ay, Dios mio" and get the award for Most Awesome-est Trick EVER Performed by a Male Initially Not Wearing Pants.

I won't give the ending away, but I will say this: It proves that White men maybe CAN jump better than society originally thought, and earns these guys their Supercool Fo' Real Badass-ness that they so excellently deserve.
