Put it in context. Jesting or not, he's talking about crying over a pair of jeans because they came into contact with water.

Oh, come on, he was in the rain--who can tell whether someone is crying when he's in the rain?

Or need I point you to Jim Varney's classic song from Ernest Goes to Camp, "Gee I'm Glad It's Raining," in which he expresses gratitude for the rain because "no one sees your teardrops when it pours"?

At the end of the day, they're just ******* jeans.*

(*= I've said this so many times, and you can google it, that I should TM it.)

Stick to your Laker analysis, Stu.

I got soaked the other day...no big deal man. Just let them dry and they'll be fine.

I've been rained on a few times - there's nothing you can do about it, and your jeans won't be ruined.

What are we coming to when we're afraid to wear jeans in the rain?

this is one of those SF threads that actually makes me feel dumber after reading. If I stick around, ill soon be wearing a diaper.

And I'll be there saying, "SB, I just don't know, man. The fit looks a bit...unkept and dumpish."

This is kind of a legitimate concern. This was a much more talked-about topic when the information concerning raw denim was semi-scarce as it was relatively new to the mainstream. We haven't had much discussion on this in quite awhile.

In my experience, rain has never caused any ill-effects on fading.

If you may recall, I had a thrilling episode of unexpected wine spillage on my beautiful, wonderful 5EPs some years ago (DAMMIT KIM THEY'RE NOT READY TO BE WASHED YET). Thanks to the collective support of my fellow Styleforumers, I survived this tragic event and the jeans ended up not stained and pretty damn fine.

Dry those tears. Everything will be okay.

Your jeans will be lost in time like tears in rain.

I should have been more concerned with the smell more than the wetness. I swear they smell weird/swamp-like now but my roommate keeps saying it just smells like denim.
