It’s great to be Fred Flintstone. No agonizing in the morning about what t-shirt you’re gonna wear. He’s got a closet full of blue ties and tiger fur muumuus (and a Water Buffalos hat, but keep that on the DL). In this case, I’d say the laziness of cartoon animators is the mother of invention — I say we all should have one outfit we wear constantly.

For the past 5 years, I was very happy with this one pair of Sketchers that I bought. They fit awesomely, like sneakers, but looked like fancy bowling shoes, kind of like how Super Chicken awesomely fights crime, but has the fancy alter ego of Henry Cabot Henhouse III. However, at around the 3 1/2 year mark, those shoes began falling apart, just like my Super Chicken metaphor did.

I went to Sketchers and bought a new pair of sneakers, recommended by the clerk as being the “next evolution” of my beloved shoes. However, they were about as good as the next evolution of X-Men — X-Men Evolution — which wasn’t good at all (until arguably the final season). So recently I went online and bought a new pair of the exact same sneakers I had. If I lived in a big house, I’d have bought 10 pairs and stored them, so I could wear these shoes for the rest of my life. Problem solved.

Would it get boring to wear the same outfit every day? Well, kids love school uniforms, and they seem pretty monotonous. I mean, I don’t hear Spongebob complaining about his squarepants, or me complaining about Cheetara’s tights. Besides, if you’re out all day solving mysteries, you don’t have time to choose between a purple dress and a dress of another color. That takes precious time away from taking the Frankenstein masks off of amusement park owners.

One person, one outfit, no problems. As the old saying goes, “if it works for Launchpad McQuack and Splinter from the Ninja Turtles, it works for me.”
