Amazing how Opal’s opinion on the fanny pack changed when she found herself in it!

It is rather sweet of Earl to do that. An ‘ahhhhhhhh’ moment.

THERE’s the answer!

He only makes a fool of himself when he goes out.

He keeps a picture of her next to his fanny.

A store clerk once told me that my fanny pack was a “fag bag”. Is that a common term? I have a camouflage Mossy Oak one that I sling over my shoulder. I can pack a lot of stuff in it. It is quite versatile.

Well, that escalated quickly….

They put a picture of me in the basement to scare the mice and bugs away. And it worked!

(Sometimes) it’s the “little things” that count.

Earl, you are so darling!

He’s not the one who is a fool here.

… to peel onions? (Or possibly cut tomatoes)

Awwwww

Points for Earl ! Sweet move Earl ;-)

“It’s a picture of you sitting on the toilet, Gramma! And you’re giving Grampa some kind of hand sign!”

A picture of his wife, right next to his butt. Hmmm… (Personally I’ve always preferred the term “bum bag”, although I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing one regardless of its name.)

How QUICKLY she changes her tune..!!! ( nice move Earl )

Earl is so sweet!

Aaaah HA! And so Opal has a change of heart….for now….

The founder of, and genius behind, Alembic (makers of excellent guitars and the finest electric basses in the world) always wears 2 of those. At a gathering of owners of his instruments, someone had an issue; he pulled out whatever it was he needed & fixed their instrument. Those present declared that he does not, in fact, wear fanny packs; he wears a utility belt.

(And for those of you across the pond, please know that “fanny” does not carry the same connotation over here; we use it as slang for one’s buttocks).

Now Opal does not mind that fanny pack.

Well, they are better for lumbar injury than a back pack … at least that’s what I tell myself.

..that way she can ride his a**..

We’ll give the moron the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps he’s from the UK and was referring to a bag in which one carries cigarettes.

I love these 2, they remind me of my Grandparents ♥

Fanny pack, where it’s always in the front.

Opal Grinch grew a heart. I’ll bet it doesn’t survive.
