Discussion Overview
The thread explores the concept of torn clothes as a potential fashion trend, while also diverging into humorous and anecdotal discussions about mimes, clowns, and nuns. The conversation includes personal reflections and comedic elements rather than a focused analysis of fashion.
Discussion Character
- Exploratory
- Debate/contested
- Meta-discussion
Main Points Raised
- Some participants express a humorous disdain for mimes, comparing them unfavorably to clowns and nuns.
- Personal anecdotes about nuns are shared, with one participant recalling a negative childhood experience that shapes their view of nuns as "evil."
- There are references to various humorous content from a website, including clips of a talking parrot and an octopus, which some participants find entertaining.
- One participant humorously connects the idea of nuns to horror themes, likening them to characters from Stephen King’s works.
- A joke about a mime and a Far Side cartoon is introduced, adding to the comedic tone of the discussion.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally share a humorous and critical view of mimes and nuns, but there is no consensus on the topic of torn clothes as a fashion trend. The discussion remains light-hearted and anecdotal without a clear resolution.
Contextual Notes
The conversation lacks a focused exploration of fashion trends, instead veering into personal stories and humor, which may limit the depth of analysis on the original topic.

When I was a kid they all wore the full lenth black habits and they all kind of looked evil and mean. Then my best friend was beaten up very badly by one in her catholic school{she was 7}..then I found out they thought they were married to Jesus...so in my mind, there Steven King material

You're lucky you missed coming around here when the gun-totin' sisters of PF were all wearing their habits. They don't just look evil, they are evil. 
I was just thinking in terms of face paint when I first read that comment.- #6

Octopi are underestimated. They are talented and resourceful creatures. So are nuns.gerben said:

I just may send this to my old teacher, Sister Ignatius Zoobie, SSND. First, she would kneel and pray for your poor lazy soul. Then, she would get out her book of grammar and hunt you down for a lesson in the difference between there, they're, and their.hypatia said:
Before she left she might tackle the proper spelling of Stephen King's first name.

I like the Far Side cartoon about a mime. It's something like -
"If a tree falls in the forest and kills a mime, would anybody care?
A clown nun. Hypatia you've given me the scariest visual I've ever imagined.
