Okay – so some of you folks might know that I have started wearing suspenders about six months ago or so – partly because my belt keeps shrinking and partly because the work in my day job and my writing requires and awful lot of sitting down and a belt can get awfully uncomfortable even to the best of us.
However – there is a secret that I haven’t told anyone yet.
I want to create a fashion trend.
I want to single-handedly bring suspenders back into popularity.
Why not?
Mork had them.
Pa Walton had them.
Even John Wayne himself wore them.
So I’m wearing suspenders and I want to make sure they become a world-wide accepted fashion trend.
So far I feel successful and I am happy to report that ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of the males in our household now wear suspenders.
How’s that for progress?
What’s that?
You say I’m the ONLY male in our household?
DO NOT DISILLUSION ME WITH STATISTICS!

If you got even half a giggle out of this blog posting why don’t you swing on over to Kobo and take advantage of my pre-order offer for UNCLE BOB’S RED FLANNEL BIBLE CAMP – FROM EDEN TO THE ARK.
(and if you’ve got a Kindle instead of a Kobo then hit this cover right now.

100% of the males in my household also wear them and I have some nicely patterned ones these days. Can I get you into Edwardian frock-coats next too?

Okay – so I had to go and look up what you UK folks are calling suspenders – and NO, I do not wear them. Just braces – like you see in the pictures. š

Phnark! Snortle. I am very glad to hear that. I was getting something Monty Pythonish… like that bit at the end of the Lumberjack song.

I may dress like a lumberjack but I’m not big on buttered scones for tea!
