    To understand the jacket, you must become the jacket.
    Meditate on this wisdom with me.

    Ooooooohhhh, the worms go in, the worms go out…

      I can’t even get my cats to take a tiny working pill. How the hell am I supposed to get them to eat an entire jacket?

          Aww, I was hoping you had some pills that would help me enjoy work more. I guess it’s back to coffee slices then.

        One pill makes you larger
        One pill makes you small
        But the ones that Mother gives you
        Are eaten by your cats…

    Juvenile Purple Worm: Moooom, I wanna go up to the surface.
    Purple Worm Parent: Well, make sure you wear your jacket, it’s cold up there, and make sure you’re wearing clean underwear.
    JPW: Moooom!
    PWP: …and take a clean handkerchief.
    JPW: Moooom!
    PWP: Did you finish eating your adventurer?

    No thank you. I think I’ll stick with my tarantula hair sweater. I don’t know where this purple worm jacket was made. I don’t know where it’s been. I bought my sweater at the Bar None Ranch where the tarantulas were grown.

    Here’s the real problem, people. These worm jackets are manufactured in plants…no, real plants….and there’s virtually no quality controls. Also, the worms tried to form a union once, but lacking opposable thumbs (and the inability to trip their humans causing bone breakage – as their friends the cats have learned) the worms really didn’t have any way to threaten their masters.

    In fact, the masters were so bent on creating a slave labor force that they poured salt all around the plants, trapping the worms inside and forcing them to work their fingers (if they had them) to the bone (if they had them).

    Until one day a great turtle came along carrying an elephant. His destination as yet unknown.

    His name was A’Tuin, and he promised to free all the enslaved worms just as soon as he could get the (literal) elephant off his back.

    It is said that on 12/21/12, the great A’Tuin, shall shed his burden and rescue the enslaved worms made to create hideous coats for their human masters.

      I don’t know about opposable thumbs, but this jacket was clearly made for a worm with arms.

    That cannot be a genuine worm jacket. It has sleeves and everyone knows worms stopped wearing sleeves three years ago, not because they don’t have arms (they don’t you know, but it’s rude to mention it to them) but because it was making it far too easy for birds to catch them.

      Purple worms, all around,
      Don’t know if they’re weaving up or down,
      Are they happy, or in misery?
      It’ll take a spell to sell this coat to me!

      Purple worms, in my brain,
      Lately they don’t think the same.
      Acting funny, but they don’t know why.
      ‘Scuse me while I kiss this guy.

      Yeooooow!

    I never meant to cause you any sorrow.
    I never meant to cause you any herm.
    I only wanted to one time see you laughing.
    I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple worm.

    Purple worm, purple worm.
    Purple worm, purple worm.
    Purple worm, purple worm.

    I only wanted to see you scathing in the purple worm.

    I never wanted to be your weekend cover.
    I only wanted to be some kind of shawl.
    Baby I could never steal you from another.
    It’s such a shame your wardrobe took a fall.

    Purple worm, purple worm.
    Purple worm, purple worm.
    Purple worm, purple worm.

    I only wanted to see you underneath the purple worm.

    Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing.
    It’s time we all wore something new,
    That means you too.
    You say you want a leader,
    But you can’t seem to dress up well.
    I think you better clothes it,
    And let me guide you to the purple worm.

    Purple worm, purple worm.
    Purple worm, purple worm.

    I cannot look at this jacket without seeing the trim as made entirely of worms. Wriggly, oozy, dirt-encrusted worms. Eeew. And sure to show up on the runways of Paris in 2013. Especially if CJ is correct and next year we will all be dressing to please our new worm overlords.

    They eat the coffee stains on your gown,

    It’s bad when my first two thoughts were:

    1. Is this made OF a purple worm, or is FOR a purple worm? I thought they were bigger than that.
    2. Come to think of it, I think Shai-hulud’s bigger, too.
