Lou By The Sea:
The spaceship games night passed some time on Starship Enterprise. 19th century golf attire was traditional breeches while 21st century yoga attire required a more body sculpting legging. Day after tittle tattle revealed that Spock missed the memo.
Attention Earthlings!
If you believed local tittle-tattle, long ago aliens descended from their spaceship wearing a cross between riding breeches and yoga pants and declared – ‘Attention earthlings! From now on we wear the trousers around here’ – a likely story!
Listening to you tittle-tattle about your friend Joe’s odd obsessing with being abducted by an alien spaceship during our yoga session turned out to be a bad idea.
I stretched and laughed so hard that split my breeches.
“Yoga in Zero-gravity, breeches every space-corp directive.”
“Which tittle-tattle told tall tales?”
“Spaceship Safety Scenario Seventy-Six states: ‘Practicing Physical Poses Potentially Puts Participants in Perilous Positions’.
“How very alliterative we are being.”
“Indeed. Try Pilot Pilates next time.”
Murray Clarke:
Some savvy people, especially established writers of science fiction, will tell you that breeches (or britches) are often worn by astronauts practicing their daily yoga positions in their spaceship. If you think that’s pure tittle-tattle, you’d be right.
Fandango:
Needing to clear his mind after an exhausting afternoon of mindless tittle-tattle with the alien ambassadors, Captain Vance changed from his tight leather breeches into his yoga pants and started his stretches right on the spaceship’s flight deck.
Like a good young I do my yoga early in the morning after getting out of bed then I automatically look up and see what looks like a spaceship in my backyard and then I go and tittle-tattle all of this to my cat and dog and stuffed animals because they’re the only ones who won’t think I’m crazy then to my surprise the mayor of the town somehow breeches my locked bedroom and when she entered the spaceship took off all that was left was a humongous crater in the backyard.
The Latch
Dockworkers offered only tittle-tattle. A courier in leather breeches wouldn’t meet her eyes, just pointed: container nine, SPACESHIP stenciled on rusted steel. Years of yoga had taught her stillness. She forced her pulse quiet, and pulled the latch.
Wearing purple breeches, Clara practised yoga aboard the spaceship while Earth disappeared behind her.
The crew whispered tittle-tattle about her unusual outfit, until zero gravity sent everyone tumbling.
Clara simply smiled, floating serenely upside down above them all.
Rall:
twas the usual tittle tat gossip
amongst the crew
the commander was back on the booze again
found doing yoga in the space shuttle
without his breeches
the press was going to have a field day
when this gets out
Houston, We Have A Wardrobe Malfunction
The astronaut’s breeches split mid-yoga pose aboard the spaceship. Tittle-tattle spread fast! Mission Control replayed the footage endlessly. Now every cadet learns downward dog before liftoff. NASA added “reinforced stretchy pants” to the dress code.
Michelle McCartney:
Margo pulled on her breeches, as Fred used call them. She’d joined yoga. And afterwards have coffee with tittle -tattle, her widowhood embarrassing. Eye contact avoided. Her crime? Her sentence – a spaceship of loneliness with no earthly docking.
I prefer doing Tai chi to yoga, so I was doing that in my stretchy breeches when I got an alert on my phone. It said that the spaceship was launching tonight. I tittle-tattled that to my friend.
The tittle-tattle of the yoga class went up a notch when their new male instructor arrived wearing tight breeches which had tiny spaceships on them! The girls started giggling and hoped for some close encounters of another kind.
“Attention!” The spacecraft blared for all to hear. “Put on your big girl breeches and come aboard for a wild ride!” I jumped off my yoga mat, told a little tittle tattle lie and off I went. Yah-hoo!
Susan Batten:
We clustered round the spaceship porthole, wings chattering, trying to spot the humankinds in their rituals, wearing ceremonial breeches and cute sunhats to propitiate the great god, Yoga – I told the Leader it wasn’t idle tittle-tattle, after all.
There have been so many security breeches on the spaceship that risking being called a tattle tale, Ensign Jones skipped morning yoga and wrote the Captain a tittle-tattle note naming names. He signed it John Paul Jones.
The yoga instructor split her breeches while reaching for the spaceship on the ceiling. Her yoga studio filled with idle tittle-tattle as she tried to quickly exit the room.
A morning slip
Now aching hip
Oh! for some yoga.
Children’s screeches
Into breeches
Get them in the car
Noisy trip
It’s no spaceship
It rattles on the tar
What a battle
Tittle-tattle
That’s my day so far
iMartist:
Housewives:
…”And then I saw Melinda, you remember her from yoga class”…
“The one who wore riding breeches to class ?”
“Yeah. She was abducted by the alien spaceship…”
“Never liked her, she was all about the tittle-tattle….”
“GOOD RIDDENCE !!!”
Working In Space
Etched onto the side of our spaceship was our slogan, Evasive Maneuvers.
Tittle-tattle ran rampant that Yoda was on board, but it was actually a crew member named Yoga that wore beige breeches with a matching bicorne hat.
Males Gossiping
“Did you see Maja doing yoga in her pollen breeches?” The drones were sniggering, spread-eagled on passionflowers that looked like spaceships. Unable to feed themselves without the help of worker bees but engaging in tittle-tattle about them nevertheless.
Yoga in Spaceship
Inside a spaceship, there was a man wearing his breeches who couldn’t bear the tittle-tattle of other people, so he decided to waddle to the other room, which was a quiet room, to do his yoga exercises peacefully.
Ann Edall-Robson:
It was yoga class day, aka the gossip girls gathering. Their voices stopped when the detective, dressed in breeches and a polo shirt, entered the room.
“Ladies! ALL need to stop this spaceship tittle-tattle.”
He turned and left.
Farmer Bill hated tittle-tattle. Standing there in his breeches he ignored gossip about his wife’s yoga classes. He walked into his lounge and found his son pretending to be in his spaceship. Oh to be a child again.
There was a bit of tittle-tattle going on after Joe left the yoga class. Everyone knew he loved space, planets, spaceship travels, etc, but to wear them on his breeches? In a public place? Pjs maybe, but here?
Rear Admiral
Hunky Commander Chris practiced yoga inside the spaceship when his skin-tight breeches split in the rear, igniting epic tittle-tattle across the galaxy. The delighted crew dubbed him “Major Mooncheeks”, ensuring his revealing morning stretch would become universally legendary.
He figured group yoga sessions on a spaceship weren’t ideal. After splitting his breeches right down the middle after executing a perfect Downward Dog pose, the captain knew he’d soon become the target for some intergalactic tittle-tattle.
The Light Above The Birch
The yard was still when the spaceship appeared, settling above the birch with a soft pulse. I’d just finished yoga. My breeches were still warm from the sun. I silenced the tittle‑tattle in my mind and stepped forward, wanting the truth more than safety.
