I can't blame the fellers for the fandom. You deserve it, IMO!

I resisted the return of bell bottom britches

Why?! Bell bottoms are cool and the reinvinted style is not as drastic as the old one. People actually notice your shoes with the new ones, and no more piles of trash in your pants leg from your sweeping.

The new ones also have an appealing slimming effect. My wife likes me in the new ones.

I can't speak for her like or dislike of my Leisure suit though. ;o)

Well, the new ones are much better. Especially the latest tone-down version. The first ones to be out again were a bit to large, but now, they are more like boot-cut. I do own a couple of those.

I think she's quite articulate, and it was my fault (a fouled up cut and paste) that got her inadvertently added to my list....

I just have to accept that I have lots of company. ;-)

When I made the comment about having lots of company, I was referring to your fans, not mine. :-)
