Travoltan trousers
These rhinestone-studded trousers will make your enemies think twice before they try to go up your nose with a rubber hose, because they'll understand that you, my friend, are a race car in the red. Plus, the breathable polyester leisure blend will keep you cool and collected, no matter how hot your Saturday night gets. Also... Battlefield Earth.

Notes
- September 2006's special of the month from Mr. Store.
- Its description in the Mr. Store is/was:
- The Moxiousest pants ever! Various thiefly enchantments, and a 5% discount at NPC stores when worn.
- As stated in the Mr. Store description, the "5-Finger Discount" enchantment equates to a 5% discount at NPC stores.
- The 5% discount doesn't work in the Trophy Hut or The Raffle House. It also cannot be used at The Hippy Store, The Knob Laboratory Store, or The Bugbear Bakery, because a specific outfit is required for each of these three stores. And you can only equip one type of pants at a time.
- Only hours after this item was added to Mr. Store, a potential infinite meat bug was found. While wearing these pants, a player could visit the General Store and buy a bugbear bungguard for a reduced price, then sell it to the Bounty Hunter Hunter for 70 meat, gaining three or four meat in the process. This bug was never exploited, however, since the Bounty Hunter was not buying bungguards that day, and has since had bungguards removed from the list of items he buys.
References
- This item's name is an obvious reference to the actor John Travolta, and some of his work.
- "Up your nose with a rubber hose" was a common insult used by Vinnie Barbarino, John Travolta's character on the TV show "Welcome Back, Kotter".
- "A race car in the red" is a partial quote from Travolta's character in "Pulp Fiction", the full quote being "Right now, I'm a fucking race car, all right, and I'm in the red. And I'm saying, I'm just saying, that it's fucking dangerous to have a race car in the red."
- Travolta also starred in "Saturday Night Fever", a movie involving lots of polyester outfits. In addition, the position of the pants (one leg straight with the other one slightly bent at the knee) is reminiscent of the quintessential disco pose that Travolta has on Saturday Night Fever's movie poster.
- "Battlefield Earth," another movie Travolta starred in, was universally panned, apparently even by the creators of KoL.
- The style of the entry, and the pause before the unintegrated movie reference, is similar to that used in Stephen Colbert's Better Know A District: Hollywood segment.
