Emergency Pants

Hey everybody! Bridget here. I just wanted to make sure to let you all know that Jamie – friend of the show, occasional co-host, and my brother from a European mother – is having a contest at his blog this week. Just head on over to MrXStitch and comment on any one of the fabulous “Cutting and Stitching Edge” posts over the next week, starting today.  The winner of the contest will receive the recycled cross stitch you see above. See the story of how Jamie took an antique stitch and awesomed it up here. The winner will be chosen the weekend of the 7th of March and be announced by your beloved Emergency Pantsers during the March 10th episode of the podcast! How cool is that? Answer: very, very cool.

Now, since this is my podcast and therefore my space, I feel like I can finally get this off my chest. I didn’t want to say this at Jamie’s blog or on his flickr because it would have lacked class. I’m so pissed someone else is getting this stitch! As soon as I saw it completed I started making plans to find a way to manipulate things until it was residing in my home! And now, just because I’m “staff” I’m ineligible! PAH!

Anyway. Take advantage of this, people! And if you win, send it to me! *wink*

Episode 33 of Emergency Pants is filled with random goodness!

• We love PNSexplosion so much, we bought them dinner and sent them this.
• Funny fake names used in battle
• Ghosts and old people – connected?
• We share “We shall most certainly be chums” moments
• We’re just not comfortable being complimented. *squirm*
• New listener Tara! Hi Tara!

There’s going to be a giveaway at Jamie’s blog this week! The winner gets this piece of hand-crafted awesomeness. Head on over to MrXStitch and check it out! Or not. It’s cool, baby, we don’t want to pressure you. Oh, will you look at that? How did my hand get there? Oh well… should I just leave it there, baby?

• Bridget is accused of conducting outbound phone sex

• Bridget realizes that she is a clown, and that she is perfectly okay with that.

Bridget is now doing regular posts at MrXStitch’s blog! (That’s Jamie, people!) Drop by and show your support – or not. We don’t want to pressure you, baby. Why don’t we just sit here with the lights off and watch 9 and 1/2 Weeks instead?

Wow, your hair smells great. *sniff*

That’s right, we’re having a contest, people. Send us your favorite euphemisms. Multiple entries are welcome, and, in fact, encouraged (seriously, they’re not a myth.) You can email us at emergencypantspodcast at gmail.com, leave us a voicemail on Skype – emergency-pants.net – or leave a comment on the site to participate.  A winner will be selected and Bridget will design a stitch based on the winning phrase – and hey, if the winner wants it, we’ll even send it to them! Or not. We don’t want things to be weird between us. We’ll move as slow as you want us to, baby.

Like the show? Let us know! Leave us a review on iTunes or comment on our site! We think that kind of thing is super cool – like you.
