Take a load off, pull up a...strap

When I was a young lad, life was so much simpler. Clothes weren’t just what kept me from being naked, they also did well to keep me clean. As a toddler, if I dug my face into a bowl of Spaghetti O’s I knew that my little shirt would be there to bear the brunt. […]
