I've had to grab for my pants several times in public when they suddenly made a break for freedom : P

And I've had to grab my Dad's for him a few times as well, if he's been carrying something at the time his did the same.

There's a reason a lot of fat guys wear suspenders. Belts sometimes don't work so well, unless you're willing to tighten them so far you 'muffin top'.

is the teenager in Ferguson who was killed? See! "Michael Brown!" (Who has been dead for nearly a month, but still -- MICHAEL BROWN!!!)



People can be dumb. Honestly, his middle school children are probably pretty much dying of embarrassment right now -- wonder if this was a parental "pull up your darn pants - see how embarrassing it is?" moment that went horribly, horribly wrong?

It clearly says "the man went to drop something off".

Apparently, that something was his pants, and one supposes the reader is to assume the pants in question were ones he was wearing at the time.

in his pants.

BTW, on Channel 12 TV, they are still saying they won't mention his name to avoid embarrassing his kids.
