Around SBN: Lakers Should Trade Andrew Bynum So He Doesn't Go To Waste

Brent Burns: Mr. Fancy Pants

Tuesday evening, Brent Burns tweeted the following:

My normatech machine just came in! It's unreal! Great machine any athlete or someone with injuries should check it out!

The link led to this picture:

Nmhy_medium

I have spent the last hour staring at this picture. It has become my new God.

Do you doubt the glory of the image? Are you not impressed by Mustachioed Man Reclining in Robotic Sex-Pants (the image's proper title)?

Well don't worry - I can help. After the jump, I'll show you exactly how much awesome is contained in this picture.

(Spoiler alert: it's a lot of awesome.)

Star-divide

After he tweeted the Greatest Picture Ever, Brent followed up with this helpful explanation:

Haha great comments! Its actually a machine that is a massager.... Pushes all the lactic acid and bad blood out to your headr

I did some research into this "NormaTec" company and have learned a lot about how these magical pants work, and I'll pass that knowledge on to you below. But, even more important than the Pants, this image gives us a glimpse of Brent Burns in his natural habitat - so I'll point out some interesting features about BrentWorld as well.

With a picture this incredible, you have to break it down into manageable chunks. Let's start with the upper-left corner:

 Brent_burns_picture_1_medium

Next we have the upper-right:

Brent_burns_picture_2_medium

 

Now the bottom-left, featuring the pants themselves:

Brent_burns_picture_3_medium

 

And now for the final piece of the picture:

Brent_burns_picture_4_medium

There you have it, everyone. I hope this has helped all of you to properly understand and appreciate Brent Burns and his Amazing Inflatable Pants.

Brent is probably still chilling out there on his floor, wearing his Pants and playing some Modern Warfare, or maybe reading that new book about dragons that he was so excited about. Just thinking about Brent there makes me think that maybe, just maybe...everything in the world is going to turn out okay.

At least the sex-pants related stuff in the world, anyway.


Now if you'll excuse me, I have to spend several more hours staring at this image, while this song plays in the background.

Contrary to popular belief, the brain is actually a fairly minor organ. It is part of the endocrine system, and is primarily dedicated to processing lactic acid and bad blood.

Marleau’s sex pants have a small rip in them causing awkward episodes of cybertrouser flatulence.

not to make light of that whole thing, though, it is reprehensible. I’m not listening to any apologetic bullshit on behalf of the coaches, they are all huge assholes, including the old man

I've been thinking more about the story behind this picture.

Here’s how I think it went down: Burns’s robot pants arrived in the mail. He was so excited that he abandoned his bowl of food, stripped off his jeans and threw them on the back of the chair, and immediately put on his robot pants. He was really happy and gave his wife his phone so she could take a picture of him. At the last minute he had her bring him his “good hat” so he wouldn’t look dumb in the picture.

I don’t know if those are clothes. They might be the storage bag for the funny pants.
