Not since former PM Malcolm Fraser turned up in a hotel lobby stateside sans pant, has the "someone fiddled with me trousers" defence been raised. Todd "Collapsing Under the Stars" McKenney in a statement to police says the reason he had 100mils of GBH (enough to knock out a small elephant) in his pocket is that he was at a party at Potts Point where he was "dancing a lot" (funny that) so much so that he got so hot, he took his pants off. Now I've been to many a party, a nightclub, a dayclub, even a baby shower, where the dancing is taking off to such an extent that the odd shirt may be removed, but I've never been witness to the removal of one's pant at such an event due to excessive solid gold style antics…except perhaps a party of an entirely different style of dancing. For those of you who don't know, Todd McKenney is a local radio, television (judge on Dancing with the Stars) and theatre identity whose million dollar career is under threat through his arrest in April when he was found at a well known beat in Sydney at 3pm banging his head against a fence mumbling to himself with the said substance on his person. The "Pants Down" defence is more embarrassing than the actual offence. Todd…. Just plea guilty, go to rehab, discover god, come back and get your career back on track.Sydney Morning Herald Article :

Ahhh yes, the "dog ate my trousers" defence has been widely used to escape all kins of sticky situations! LOL
He should wear black boxer briefs next time. Then it's no so obvious. ;-)
well 'pants off' parties don't seem to prevalent in the str8 community - so I am not too sure his audience will swallow that story line !
Obviously, he took the phrase "Down Under" too literally. Removing his pants seems rather a patriotic gesture to me.
Thanks for your kind words on Prison's a Bitch. I'm the guy who maintains the blog for him.
Steven will be out in about 3 weeks, by the way.
