During my banking/accounting days, all of my suit pants were rigged for suspenders. I had about a half dozen sets of suspenders. I mostly wear jeans these days which are just fine with belts.

My pants keep themselves up. The belt is just for looks.

So they locked the thread about locking the thread about locked threads??

I always wear suspenders with a suit or sports jacket but never with a pullover sweater for the obvious reason.

Too meta.

Yeah, we are almost at the point of those nested Russian dolls....whaddya call them? Matryoshka.

Oooh, one of the TV stations is saying Rain/Snow mix on Tuesday. I hope they're a little off and we get a foot of snow!

I saw a county snowplow out today, so this might be serious!!!

You should start a thread about that.

Our favorite sheriff has been busy today.

Gunter 6 weeks post op. He has something to say to me today about all this ridiculous bed rest I've prescribed and my instructions for a lifestyle change. Ie don't be a wild thing, little Doxie. I got an earful about that. Good thing this dog can't type or I'd hear about it on yelp, I'm sure.

PS I was double booked at 11am- Gunter the 10 pound Doxie and Wally the 200 pound Great Dane. A study in contrasts. :)

We haven't had a snowy CX event yet. I have two more chances, before my season is over.

For that problem, I've just been clipping them off when I need to and leaving them hanging over my shoulders while still underneath the sweater. It's easy enough to reattach afterwards.

Maybe if I had less of a gut, belts wouldn't suck as much for me. Maybe I should, oh I don't know, ride my freaking bike more and lay off the sweets.

Suspenders are back. Buy yourself a nice set or two and wear them with a dress shirt and a tie (don't forget the tie clip). I've been wearing suspenders for the last five years.

Two words: sock garters.

My sister is flying up from Alabama for turkey day and she lined up a job interview in Minneapolis on the Friday after.

I had considered it. But naaah.

Alternative solution: The Mr. Rogers approach.

Must color coordinate suspenders (aka braces) and tie. A tie clip never has been, is not now, and never will be fashionable. Like an engineer's pen case, calculator or slide rule.

Trust me, the tie clip is and always was fashionable. What wasn't fashionable was those 5" inch dinner bibs that guys used to wear around their necks instead of ties.

For example...

...this only adds to the evidence that there is a conspiracy afoot. :twitchy:

...more evidence. Trust no one.

...thanks to [MENTION=6062]Rowan[/MENTION]'s help here, I have now devised a strategy to foil the alien invasion of the threadlockers.

If I remember to buy all my blue threadlocker from Permatex, and all my red threadlocker from Loctite, the only place I will need my glasses is for the green stuff.

At least she will have an opportunity to rest hers arms from flying prior to the interview.

I'm sad.

Jeans rule!
