I take exception to that sir. A potential change in the band name is a very serious issue. No one remembers the Quarrymen, now do they?

Who?

Next thing you know, Way Out West Don will want us to get band uniforms. With plumed hats. And white shoes with matching belt. Do you know how hard it is to find stylish white patent leather shoes these days?

The one issue that the band, our management and advisors are in complete agreement on is that the band does need matching caps. Ken's Caps, that is.

I may have to reinstitute my responding to threads with wiki-info about all of the people with the surname of Starr, and their many illustrious accomplishments.

Quarrymen was a skiffle band founded by John Lennon and some Liverpool school friends in the 50s. It eventually evolved into the Beatles.

And of course, we all know that Richard Starkey, also known as Ringo Starr, was a member of that band.

Good thing he had friends to help him get by. It's not easy living in a yellow submarine, you know. It leads to a lot of spooky weirdness.

I didn't remember the Quarrymen, but I plead guilty to remembering Gerry and the Pacemakers.

And still not a crime--at least not in NY.

Saggy Pants May Be 'Foolish,' but They Don't Disturb Public Tranquility, N.Y. Judge Says

Mark Fass
New York Law Journal

July 28, 2010

Wearing saggy pants that hang from your thighs and expose your underwear may be ridiculous, but it is not illegal, a Bronx judge has ruled.

"While most of us may consider it distasteful, and indeed foolish, to wear ones pants so low as to expose the underwear ... 'people can dress as they please, wear anything, so long as they do not offend public order and decency,'" Criminal Court Judge Ruben Franco wrote in People v. Martinez, 2009SX048784.

In April 2009, defendant Julio Martinez received a summons because, as the arresting officer wrote, Martinez wore "his pants down below his buttocks exposing underwear [and] potentially showing private parts."

The sole charge was disorderly conduct and the sole factual allegation was that the defendant wore his pants troublesomely low.

The rest of the story

Who is going to get Newell to pull his pants up?

So is the new expression "pull yourself up by the beltloop," rather than the bootstrap?

Pants on the ground.

Is this your new personal anthem?

It just seemed like an appropriate response.

Bibb County commissioners think a few signs could be better than a county ordinance or belts in keeping pants off the ground.

Details.

A San Francisco man removed from a U.S. Airways flight and arrested after he allegedly refused to pull up his sagging pants was released from custody Thursday after posting bail, and prosecutors are still considering whether to file charges in the case.

Details.

Update on man who wouldn't pull up his pants.

This guy is allowed to fly.

Scary.

And you must wonder whether a woman similarly attired would be allowed to fly!

My eyes!
