My Belt Buckle Made the Dean’s List….
Posted on March 7, 2008 by admin
Ok. This is too much. A recent eHow column on “How to Buy a Belt Buckle”–umm, find one you like, retrieve wallet, pay cashier, leave store??–advised that shoppers look at functional belt buckles as one option when choosing a buckle: “A new trend is buckles that serve a purpose other than holding your pants up.” The author goes on to explain that many belt buckles “hold small flasks, pocket knives, throwing stars or even very small firearms.”
What? Very small firearms? Who came up with this?..a vocal group of high-fashion criminals concerned that carrying a gun the old-fashioned way, in their pockets, made them look fat? I guess “Don’t Mess with Texas” is more than just a slogan on the wall at DFW.
Despite the articles misguided examples, the suggestion that “functional” belt buckles are gaining popularity is dead on. Target sells a bottle opener belt buckle and buckles that hold the wearers ipod are sure to be a hit among young’ns. Just steer clear of the belt buckle/concealed weapon combo. Lockdown at Folsom Prison no longer includes a free Johnny Cash concert.
