Fat man attire and an OU whooping

I'd like to open this post with accolades for the Oklahoma Sooners recent whooping of the Texas Longhorns; 55-17, oh hell yes! (excuse my language). So much for conference realignment drama and distractions, OU came to play football and Texas decided to help them out. As for the fans, I was disappointed that our fans were not as loud as they historically have been and attribute it to the early game and a possible malaise set in after consuming the fried butter, fried beer or too many of Fletcher's corn dogs (save me some of those, please). These fatty foods transformed our normally raucous fan base into a lethargic, hungover bunch left yelling at half their capacity. However, if my arteries were clogged with fried butter I would only be able to yell at 50% too.

Last night I had an epiphany at the Main Construction Camp (MCC - A large BP camp with awesome food) on the East Operating Area (EOA - Old ARCO exploration side); Overalls are the working fat-man's pant of choice. Overalls don't need to be sized properly, and have that natural baggy look. If you've made the life choice to expand your abdomen (as a man) from your old high school 32 to a portly, well-established 42 then the overall can accomodate you throughout the process. No longer are the days of fat pant shopping needed (much to the relief of these manly men) as two pairs of overalls (one pair for laundry day) will cover your entire oilfield career. But wait, there's more! Overalls can also have your name stitched on them, in place of confining coveralls which are often a challenge for our girthy friends to enter. As such, you can grow into your new pants and not be bothered with people asking your name or what company you may work for.

Overalls: the epitome of the lazy, working-man's clothing.
