suspenders... really, what's with those?

i was just thinking about how stupid my mother used to dress me in the 2nd grade, and i remember that she insisted that i wore suspenders all the time...

WHY?!

what the hell is the point of suspenders? why did people invent these god aweful things? i can understand them for like fishing waders and such, but for everyday pants? only dock workers in wifebeaters and slacks that smoke cigars should be wearing these, and even that's stretching it.

Suspenders are HOT. Just look at Andre 3000. Your mama was way ahead of her time.

Or this guy.

i'm sorry, i still don't understand the appeal of them...

i can just imagine the guy who invented them was all like "i'm gonna show that bastard down at the belt shop. i'll show them all, i'll make something that will make all the belts in the world obsolete!!!"

and thus suspenders where made, and catch on like wildfire it did not

damn. i thought this was to be a kinky discussion of women's suspenders, not an integral part of a skinhead's uniform. damn you all for getting my pulse racing. i think i'll wander over here now...

I have camo GI Joe suspenders. And plain black.

we dont call those 'suspenders', we call them 'garters'

what about every gay porn star, fireman, and NY cop on the beat?
and i could've sworn I've seen peter steele in bright green suspenders before

i saw the peter steele supenders... it's still not the cool

really, what is with those things?!

"and while we're at it..whats the deal with Grape-nuts?
You open the box..no grapes..no nuts..what gives?!"

Firemen.

*Drool*

I'm still laughing!

i still call those "i can't believe it's not gravel"

I think the only point of suspenders is that you can snap the elastic against your chest with a loud *CRACK* whenever you need to emphasize a point you're making in an argument.

I used to have kermit the frog suspenders. the kids in school used to pull them and snap them on my back. that fucking hurts!

i used to get detention in school for not wearing a belt (uniform)
i tried to point out that suspenders accomplished the pants-still-up task quite nicely, but to no avail

fuckers.
there's nothing rebellious about suspenders
unless you have suspenders and a gun


that'll show 'em............

suspenders and a gun... you mean like robert deniro in taxi driver?

What about Barbershop Quartets?

But I have to agree, American suspenders ain't got nothin' on British suspenders.
