overalls

me as a kid.

1) visiting some damn dam

2) freaky awesome banana overalls. Made by clyde (the guy on the right) who strategically placed one banana .... for the ladies.

3) with my science fair thing

from my senior year book. the only year book i ever bought.

the first is my senior picture

the second is from some sock puppet I made for a show we put on for third graders

an awesome pic i found at pantryparatus.com

at a geek event last spring - where I was the fearless leader for CodeRanch.com

The important part is: some shallow twits think that wearing overalls to a nice restaurant is inappropriate. And that just makes feeds my humor needs.

Overalls are the best.

So just a simple question. What brand? I've been looking for longer lasting cloths and I can get a couple years out of a pair of Carhart's but I was curious if you know of someone making even more durable cloths?

When I was in school in the late seventies, overalls were popular for a short time. I never had any, probably because I had already endured bell bottom jeans and polyester which my mom picked off the dollar rack, years after those items went out of style. By the time overalls came along I was very wary of extreme departures from the norm. Imagine a kid wearing plastic "David Bowie" jeans when everyone else is in faded denim. Add to that an embarrasing religious affiliation and parents who fight at every public event. I couldn't afford the social risk.

Within a short time they were only worn by the girls and that was that.

They do look comfortable.

We believe in jungle chic here... in other words, you know those clothes donated to Salvation Army, etc.? What isn't sold is sent here in huge bundles and sold by the pound. You can get pants for a couple of dollars in the "American Clothes" stores. At first, I thought that meant American styles... nope, castoffs mainly, but good deals for sure.

What is hilarious is that the t-shirts usually have some saying, often very rude. But since people don't speak English, they don't know. But imagine being a North American and having the owner of a hardware story greet you wearing a t-shirt that says "Ask someone who gives a damn"

Loretta shared this on your FB wall:
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

Jocelyn, are you trying to say the Paul is a lot of work... ?

So is a recurring banana theme throughout your life a worrisome thing? A bizarre synchronicity?

And all this time I thought that in polite company we were supposed to pretend like we didn't know about he banana.

Key brand. With button fly.

two pairs will last me about two or three years.

I bought two more pairs a month ago and was told that these are the last that will be made.
