I think it is related to a youtube link someone posted a few (10 maybe?) pages back. Someone called into a Philly radio station and went on and on about stupid stuff. They may have been a troll, but I don't know for sure, because I couldn't listen to the whole thing. It was too borning. But maybe at the end the person talked about Phil, Carol and missing pants.
Re: Pants
Don't want to rain on anybody's shits n' giggles, but it does seem kind of 'inside baseball' and leaves people scratching their pates. So, here's a partial explanation. It's only observed stuff:
4-5 days ago, a new redditor named 'TorontoEntity' showed up in r/toronto. Whether a real troll or a meta-troll, who knows. Anyway, this redditor happily, clearly and cogently expressed over-the-top pro-Ford opinions and perhaps (to some) inflammatory rhetoric. Like 'Forgotten'. Further, u/TorontoEntity's tendency was to drop the post and skedaddle, no interaction, debate, discussion. Then the user would pop up in another thread and do the same thing. In so doing, TE was racking up the negative karma in Reddit. Since he wouldn't engage, someone decided to maybe heckle a bit and spin this story about 'Phil', 'Barb', 'Carol' and, of course, 'The pants', which were apparently left behind after some kind of tryst. The narrative is becoming increasingly detailed with characters and plot unspooling. The more TE posts, the longer the tale will be spun one assumes.
It's kinda funny in its cumulative affect and in its native r/Toronto context. But yeah, it makes no sense here. But that's no reason to stop! Yay, Phil! Yay, pants.
ETA: That YouTube clip was from 'The Best Show' on WFMU. It's the concoction of the very funny Tom Scharpling. 'Philly Boy Roy' an ardent defender of Phladelphia, who is a frequent 'caller' to the show (it's an actor). The conversations are almost 'Goon Show'-esque in their surrealistic tilts and whirls.
