CHOCOLATE NOT THE CAUSE

Bill(y) Steffy was quite a guy. He wore his pants higher than anyone I have ever see. Ed Grimley high. For those of you who don't remember the SNL character, well his pants went almost to his armpits. Same with Bill.

What I need is a Bill or Ed line of blue jeans. I've whined before about how blue jeans don't fit my old man body now. Primarily because they hang too low below my navel. To start with. I hate that style.

Add my mid-section girth to it and down they slide. I'm constantly pulling them up, no matter how tight I pull my belt. It's seen more far distant holes than ever recently, yet I don't have to unzip to take them off. I just slide them off. If I'm carrying something that requires two hands, I have to watch out or there will be southern exposure.

Even Grace Park, the svelte actress in Hawaii Five-O, doesn't look good in that style. In fact in this day and age, there aren't too many styles I approve of, but the low rider jeans and even dress pants are the worst. Remember bell bottoms and platform shoes? That style stunk as well, and it all started with hip huggers as they were called back then.

Until I shift some of my belly to my hips, I think I'd almost prefer the Bill or Ed style. Almost.
