I am adding my voice to the "No Rules Means No Pants" choir. This is a thing that needs to happen... and be implemented.

*will be the King of Doma and of No Pants*

I would like to agree with pretty much everybody else. I wish to in no respect understate my appreciation for James's frustrated meditating, or for Paul's really accurate satirical questioning, not to mention the really nice-looking special effects which came with the apparent levitation and energy ball powers.
HOWEVER, Kathleen De Vere absolutely knocked the stinger out of the park. "No rules means no pants!!" is the best thing I have heard all week. :mrgreen:

So many of you are pleading for a "No rules means no pants" T-shirt, but if LRR actually makes such a shirt, you'll probably buy one and wear it with trousers.

You guys probably get told this a lot, but you're just not dedicated enough. If you really believed in the message, you'd be asking for "No rules means no pants" underwear.

... OK, wow. Yeah. That one? That's in the weird territory. Hilarious, mind you. I love that one.

We could wear a shirt at the beach. Obeying the rule *and* socially acceptable context!

Great video, I basically agree with everybody here on pretty much everything (including the shirt idea), though I would like to say that while I enjoyed the stinger, I don't think it was the highlight everyone else did.

Also, just a nitpick, but I believe after the James-energy-ball-thing effect, James' hand disappears. No big, doesn't detract or anything, just pointing it out.

Classic Paul dialogue. James doing the stern, authoritative sensei thing (which probably wouldn't have fit Morgan so well). Kathleen being Kathleen. Very old school feel.

I'd call Paul's sketches weird in terms of logic whereas Kathleen's are weird in a gross out sense.

Make this shirt, and I will be obliged to get a kilt to go with it. Or because kilts are expensive and I'm cheap, go the Morgan route and just wear a skirt with it.

Wear it as a protest of the rules based society that we live in.
Wear it as a cautionary tale of what would truely happen if we lived in a world with no rules.
Wear it in protest of the pants you are wearing.

There are so many interpretations.

Seems like the master needs to review his teaching methods. Also Yes to no pants.

No rules means no pants indeed.

edit: Oh, and can we have a version of the "No rules means no pants" T-shirt with a chibi-Kathleen going "woop woop wooop woooooop!" on the back?

I agree with with old guy. students should not question their teachers. especially if their teachers can murder them with a thought.

I sighed after seeing the beautiful pebble work be countered by the blow my own hand off fireball that james fires.

This is still LRR after all, and I wouldn't want it any other way :D

bump!!!!!!

you may think that no rules means no pants, but in 397 AD, the Roman Emperor Honorius issued a law banning the wearing of trousers in Rome, so in some cases, the rules DO mean no pants.

And this is why I study history at uni.
