Just when I thought I already had enough reasons to shun Burger King for the rest of my life…

Do you have a favorite pair of jeans you’ve had forever? If you do you could submit your story to the Dockers contest. All you have to do is create a video about your favorite pair of jeans and submit it to the Dockers TV Commercial Contest.

I have 1 pair of jeans that I think have had about enough of me. They’ve been with me for about 10 years now, and I’ve patched holes in them many many times. People ask me why I don’t just throw them away, and I say these pants are just now getting worn in! Why would I do that?

Not only are they the most comfortable pair of jeans I own, but they still fit after all these years. That amazes me because my weight has fluctuated up and down over the last 10 years, and I definitely don’t have that same body I had as a 16 year old who bought the jeans on a shopping trip to Commerce. I have hips now. I had nothing then, yet by some miracle my favorite pair of jeans still fits me right in all the right places.

That pair of jeans has been through so much with me. They walked with me through fragile teenage years when I was learning who I was. They’ve been to probably one too many parties, suffered through spills from plenty of drinking games I shouldn’t have been playing, and they helped me discover how nice it felt to dress up for attention from the boys.

They earned holes in the knees from crawling over barbed wire fences sneaking through the pasture cow tipping in the middle of the night or going night fishing.

They moved in with me at college, were borrowed by my roommates, and received their first patch on the right pocket when my roommate accidentally burned a hole in them. The cute little flower patch she used to repair the hole is still on the pocket today.

These days they’re worn out, but I love those jeans. I’ll choose to wear them over any other pair. A day in the life of my favorite pair of jeans could be a day lounging around the house or out partying somewhere. Those jeans go with me when I’m going to my favorite restaurant to gorge myself because they’re worn so thin they stretch!

So what story do your jeans have? Go enter the Dockers contest so you can tell me all about it!

I’m a big Mario Bros fan, but then why shouldn’t I be? I’m an 80’s baby, and I grew up on Nintendo. I think that’s why I absolutely love to see videos like this. Of course this guy definitely had way too much time on his hands, but I have too much time on my hands some days, and I can’t come up with anything cool like this! Bummer!
