Over at the estimable BoingBoing Gadgets, fellow expatriate Brit Rob Beschizza has found a solution to the ever growing waistline that is the inevitable result of the typical English diet of Fish ‘n’ Chips, Full English Breakfasts and deep-fried Mars Bars.
The Waistband Stretcher, unsurprisingly found at the SkyMall, clamps onto your slacks and slowly strains the waistband to fit your blossoming belly. SkyMall says that you can expect an increase of up to five inches, depending on the fabric being stretched.
Alas, this is too late for Beschizza, who long ago switched to an elastic-waisted, thrift-store trouser for his day to day clothing needs. It really is rather sad to see the sartorial slide of a fellow countryman. I have heard rumors that he is planning to buy a fanny pack, but hopefully that’s just cruel internet speculation. $30.
