I have long been a fan of the manpri pants. 
My oldest pair is probably 10 years old. Last winter, during my extra FATmarc time, I popped the button off of them. 
I didn't think much of it because I have a number of different belts that I can use to keep my pants up.

Yes, I know 4 belts is a bit of an extravagance, but when your name is fatmarc, and popping buttons is a habit, you better have a series of strong belts, and always a back up. My last belt lasted me 12 years. These 4 are all over a year already. And yes, I am totally sucking it in in these pictures.
Alas as I was searched at the Philly International Airport, I took off my belt, and well, my beloved manpri pants made a run for the the floor. Must have been some kind of wardrobe malfunction in my xyz zipper. Luckily I was not going commando or else I might have given the kindly TSA agent a glimpse of the furry muskrat that is my ass.
Gotta fix that button, or at least remember to not fly in those pants.
Cross practice was hard this week. Before the last effort I told the group the story of Michael Phelps and how he moved to Michigan to swim with a tougher set of work out partners. How Phelps said he rarely wins a workout in practice, and how it just pushes him to keep going
harder. You are only as good as your workout partners is something I used to preach to my wrestling team. Luckily for me our practice has a high number of tough guys.
I told my fellow DCCoCers this as much to keep the entire group engaged, as I did to soothe my own ego, as I really got it handed to me.
On another note, my cross shoes smell like ass. They seriously stunk up my entire car while we were at El Jefe after practice tonight. I hate getting new shoes just before cross season, but I really need to do something about my cross shoes, or else someone is gonna die of asphyxiation or something.
It was people like Lisa Vible, Bernie MacDonald, Suzy Gerlack, and Chris "Sven" Nystrom that made me want to be a part of Charm City Cyclocross. People dedicated not to their own race, their own results, but people dedicated to growing cyclocross. Chris made a very poinignat comment on my last post that really helps to illustrate why I am such a big fan of his. Please check it out.
Regardless, I'm racing cross this weekend. I am joyous.

Two words, man grooming.
spray your shoes with Lysol after each wear - it will change your life or at the very least make it smell better.
They cannot be as bad as your climbing shoes!!
Marc, you get a shotgun, I'll alert Yellowstone and let them know we've found that missing Grizzly. It smells strangely of Mexican food though... Got no advice for the shoes though. Maybe some bowling alley shoe spray or febreeze? That or an old fashioned Shoe Burning. I think the Scientologists do that in lieu of Easter.
I hope you have a good race this weekend.
Your manpri's are the same kind that my b/f wears and he has like 6 pair. He wears them in the winter too, with soccor socks, so he is even more of a dork than you.
I am going to watch my 1st cx race on Oct 12th and am psyched. I know I will be participating next year.

P.S. I really don't think that's a hipster belt. It looks more like a thrift store belt.
i think the belt post was simply a ploy to show off your obliques.
nice work!

SMelly shoes:
Fabreeze antibaterical on the shoes and dry them out in front of the fan. You can wash your insoles and air dry those, then more fabreeze.
