I just assumed that the presence of vasoline would ensure that there was no shrinkage.

well we don't want swelling, either.

Well Kit, swelling is kinda what it is all about. It can be a good thing.

I'm sure it can, but probably not while you're fitting yourself to your motorcycle seat all slathered in vasolene. The missus will question your relationship to your ride for sure.

Oh but it happens unfortunately. Jeans won't save you when/where it counts.

Jaffa says she knew it must be an Aussie in the shower....a ball and chain on the floor and nowhere to hang the towel from!

Now to explain (slowly....) Hushy, over here, the term "ball and chain" refers to your missus, so maybe you didn't quite understand what she was saying?

What she meant was, I had the "ball and chain" (her) on the floor, so there was nowhere for her to hang her towel?

Hey Terry, aren't you getting "ball and chain" and "handbrake" mixed up....

maybe lay out pre-warmed tinfoil on the seat and loosely tack down, then sit on it and see where you left your mark? The hard part would be indenting the leather or vinyl on the seat to match.

Makes sense to me, soft parts usually don't make much of a dent anywhere. But it kinda does involve at least a little "thickening", if not actual swelling to make the part "impressive"..

I have a couple friends, "Country Fair" regulars, who swear by them and can't wait for their "Rites of Spring"...personally, I could never figure out what kinda shoes to wear with one. Just a side note, ya gotta add Greeks to the list of guys allowed to wear 'em, don't know if it still is, but it was their regular army uniform for a while...in solid colors tho...

Frankenkit · « **Reply #86 on:** March 17, 2010, 11:30:17 AM »

Boots, boots, boots.
I know someone who wears boots and long socks but I think that looks dumb.

I wear mine to the Fair just for a little A/C. It gets right hot out there in the sun by the front gates during our shift. 'course I also wear my vibram toe-shoes too. but the fair is made for weird lookin' critters like me.

Hey Terry isn't that what Lara Bingle said to Michael Clark when she put her hand up his kilt " Where the bloody Hell are ya"?

See, no where to hang ya towel ha ha ha..........no sledging mind you.

BobbyR · « **Reply #88 on:** March 17, 2010, 02:48:17 PM »

The answer is still no.

Frankenkit · « **Reply #89 on:** March 17, 2010, 06:05:17 PM »

aww, Bobby, would you, could you, wear a kilt on the road? Would you could you with a toad? Would you could you see me goad? even for green eggs and ham? or beer nuts and spam? or vegemite on toast? or whatever?

OK. We both ride in Kilts side by side in the real deal Scottish Kilts, not those Metrosexual shorts they are selling now. We do it true commando Scot style. Deal? Loser has to eat Vegemite.

Frankenkit · « **Reply #91 on:** March 17, 2010, 09:11:55 PM »

Do you have any idea what I'd look like in 6m of tartan?

Hush · « **Reply #92 on:** March 17, 2010, 09:46:43 PM »

I'll eat all the Vegemite you guys don't want, I love the stuff.
