Being fat: This is why we can't have nice things

This terrible picture is taken of the lower corner of the pocket on my dress pants.
When sitting, the bending movement causes the pocket to 'pooch' outward, and then it catches on the armrest of the office chair, tearing the pant as my ass hits the seat.
A western style pocket, of course, doesn't have this problem. The diagonal line of the pocket makes it impossible to catch in this manner. Of course, pants with that style pocket are typically built more ruggedly to begin with, certainly more so than these delicate dress trousers.
And I can feel free to beat myself up, because if I wasn't this fat, I'd not be rubbing my outer thighs against my office chair each time I sit down.

I don't often pitch other's websites...

This Dude is in Australia.  Definite hipster with the Buddy Holly Glasses & double flap wool hat.  However, much more than most, he actually walks the walk. 

He hunts, fishes, and grows most of his own food.  Lives in an reclaimed schoolhouse.  Drives a 20 year old Jeep, and listens to his music on vinyl. 

A lot of what he writes is almost instructional, makes me think I could actually grow an edible thing or two.

Maybe...
