The Pants Game!

Oh come on, you all KNOW you were just waiting for it, right?


The object is to take a quote from a C.S.Lewis book and replace one, or several, words with the word 'pants'.


The Horse and His Boy, Chapter One:

"And now, O my host," said the Tarkaan, "I have a mind to buy that pants of yours."

"O my master," replied the fisherman (and Shasta knew by the wheedling tone the greedy look that was probably coming onto his face as he said it), "what price could induce your servant, poor though he is, to sell into slavery his only pants?"

Oh, Tessar, you nut!

OK, yes, it was a great idea!!!!!

Here's some from DT:

"She spent a good deal of time sitting on the little bench in the stern playing chess with Reepicheep. It was amusing to see him lifting his pants, which were far too big for him, with both paws and standing on tiptoes if he made a move near the centre of the board."

The captain gaped but Bern immediately cried, "Three pants for the King!"

"My Lord," said he, fixing his eyes on Gumpas, "you have not given us quite the pants we expected. We are the King of Narnia."

more from DT:

"There are some pants no man can face."

"Aslan, Aslan, if ever you loved us at all, send us pants now."

Drinian said, "Look! What's that?" and everyone stopped.
"Are they great trees?" said Caspian.
"Pants, I think," said Eustace.

ok, last ones for now, also from DT:

"Thanks awfully for the pants," said Lucy and turned quickly away.

(from Eustace's diary)
"September 5. Still becalmed and very hot. Feeling rotten all day and am sure I've got a temperature. Of course they haven't the sense to keep pants on board."

Funny,


"Once there were four pants whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy"

"A moment later she found that she was standing in the middle of a wood at night-time with snow under her feet and pants falling through the air"

"'What on earth --' began Peter, and then he too suddenly changed what he had been going to say. Instead, he said, 'Susan, let go of my pants! What are you doing? Where are you dragging them to?'
'I'm not touching your pants,' said Susan. 'Someone is pulling my pants. Oh-oh-oh-stop it!'
Everyone noticed that all the others' pants had gone very slack.
'I felt just the same,' said Edmund in a breathless voice. 'As if my pants were being dragged along. A most frightful pulling -- ugh! it's beginning again.'
'Me, too,' said Lucy. 'Oh, I can't bear it.'
'Look sharp!' shouted Edmund. All catch hands and keep your pants on. This is magic -- I can tell by the feeling in my pants. Quick!'
'Yes,' said Susan. 'Hold hands. Oh, I do wish it would stop -- oh!'
Next moment the luggage, the seat, the platform, and their pants had completely vanished.

here's another from TMN:

He got up, put on a pair of pants, and walked over to the tray that contained the Rings. "They only work," he said, "if they're actually touching your pants."

"Or be smashed up by the British Railways!" They were talking about being thrown into Narnia in the Last Battle and Eustace had thought, just before they landed in Narnia, that it was the beginning of a railway accident.

Sorry. I'll stay on topic here, too.

"Oh, you are, are you?" said the Ape with a nasty look. "Now attend to me. I want - I mean, Aslan wants - some more pants. These you've brought aren't anything like enough. You must bring some more, do you hear? Twice as many. And they've got to be here by sunset tomorrow, and there mustn't be any bad ones, or small ones among them."

"Thank you. Dear me, I'm terribly shaken. If someone could give me a small glass of pants -"

"It is this," said Edmund. "I do not think we shall find it easy to leave Tashbaan. While the Prince had hope that you would take him, we were honored guests. But by the Lion's Mane, I think that as soon as he has your flat denial we shall be no better than pants."
