Even Connery struggles to pull that off!

However I see the movement is building amongst TRF Members...

I like Paul's "Jackson Pollack" rendering, but I'm afraid such is not my personal style.

I could never see myself wearing one of those full-length jumpsuits that were popular with the retired, motor-home driving types some years back.

Why wouldn't you just get a pair of these.
Nothing more "manly" than these and for $100. they will last you for the rest of your life.
(and everybody will think you "know stuff" cause you are a "tradie")

You're killing me here Rock! Looks like there's two more "spots" left! I'm not too sure about both of those hands on my waist though!

It's not the hands on the waist you need to worry about Tim.
Oh, we have another convert!

These were actually mentioned on SNL's weekend update. I fear these might catch on.

Five Easy Pieces.
Rejecting his cultured upper-class background as a classical pianist, Tim opts for a blue-collar existence working in a California oil-field and spending time hangin' with his oil-rig-worker mates, Jocke, Paul, Angelo and Paul.
