Great moments in speechbubble history, volume 4
On a recent rainy Thursday afternoon, one of speechbubble’s community management clients received the following @reply on Twitter.
@woodlandsbkyard Will be there for a work HH… You’ll know exactly who I am by my pants…

A foreboding message, but the sender and the bar has a brief fun exchange, and went about our respective days. Well, I was at the bar later that evening because 1) spending time at the bars we work with is important and 2) I like beer. I spotted a fella at the table behind me wearing bright blue pants with cowhide pockets. Hmm.
@woodlandsbkyard YESSSSSSS

At this point the blue panted gentlement was so excited that he showed the dozen or so people he was with the conversation, and looked around frantically searching for the identity of his partner in pantalones.
The exchange could have ended there, but when I was discussing the incident with the owner we decided to step it up and buy the blue man a shot – a blue shot, naturally. Delivered anonymously with an inscribed bar napkin.
(Use of the the phrase “bitchin’ pants” was NOT my choice.)
