Jumpsuits failed to address the problem of taking a dump when you're pogosticking your way to the john.

You can't see the back.  It might have a flap.  And a bunny tail.
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

Did somebody say jumpsuit?

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

I know nothing about fashion. But I have noticed that 60s/70s that women stopped chopping off their hair and that, to me, is a Good Thing. I could care less about clothes.
Maybe a rare occurence, but then you only have to get murdered once to ruin your whole day.

Hey, I've seen that movie...
Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

I am at a buffet.  Basically, every young person and most of the older folks are wearing some version of a t-shirt and jeans/pants.  Nowhere near as weird as 1970's apparel, except for ghetto fabulous.

Jeans and t-shirts with gym/running shoes became fashionable in the 70's. I remember being upset with my friend when he started wearing that. I thought he looked like a slob.

Remember when blue jeans and white t-shirts were standard for men working outdoors in hot weather?

When I grow old and retire, I dream of purchasing a pair of Sears coveralls for the adornment of my body whilst puttering around the house.

I shall even pop for the embroidered anchor on the chest pocket.

And then I will spend my Saturday afternoons strolling around the front lawn with a Chase & Sanborn coffee can in one hand, and a forked weeding tool in the other.

Listening to Vin Scully on the transistor radio, of course.

Retain what's coming in; send off what is retreating.

Well, you going to pull those pistols boy,
or just whistle Dixie?

And you do not already have your AARP membership number on your very own membership card?

Do you want the tiny radio that gets crammed in your ear, or the calculator that does not work?  We need to know so we can call in your membership application.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Make sure it has a hood also.

I have a few pair of fire retardant coveralls for work.  Coveralls don't fit me too well.  They are either too long head-to-toe or too short head-to-crotch.  I've noticed that for most people, they either fit well or they don't.  They make fire retardant blue jeans and shirts which is what I normally wear.

There was a time that I wore coveralls for work a lot.  I liked the fact that I could peel them off down to t-shirt and cut-offs when I wasn't working. :)
