    Is the quote at the bottom suggesting Mr. Thomson is the one in the pink spandex?

    A woman I worked with used to say, “Spandex is a privilege not a right.”

      Luckily, he has his own under his chin now. I wonder if he grabs it when looking in a mirror, by instinct.

      “Died by homoerotic asphyxiation” as a headline would be amusing.

        He doesn’t like that one because it’s attached to an adult.

      Pretty sure these types of ads weren’t just restricted to the US.

      Sizes have trended lower and lower and lower. There’s no real standard and brands benefit from having smaller size numbers because of how it makes buyers feel about those clothes.

        Size 000 was introduced in 2014. That was probably the original size 1 and they just kept adding zeros as time went on.
