Ok, since the 3FB section has been quiet for almost a week now, it's my duty to resuscitate it...
Some people might remember the Denim Strider™ incident that occurred at the FPV Day weekend this year. I know I'll never forget it as it was me who made the grizzly discovery. Anyway, we've all assumed that that day was the beginning of the Denim Strider™ epic saga. Not so my friends...
In the lunch room at my work we have some magazines for people to flick through while they eat. So one day last week I was finishing lunch when a magazine caught my eye and sent me into a state of utter shock.
I took the liberty of scanning in the cover of said magazine and here it is:
This magazine is dated May 2002; a good 9 months before the Denim Strider™ incident! I looked in the magazine at the specific section and funnily enough underderps are were not amongst the, and I quote, "89 Wear-Now Buys". I guess this incident increased them by 1 to now make them "90 Wear-Now Buys". :s6:
So folks, it seems that the Denim Strider™ has in fact been the Secret Denim Strider™ for quite a while. It's just that the FPV Day weekend brought it out into the open.
Strider you fashion trendsetter you! Or should that be Denim Diva™?! <- Patented Denim Strider Fluffy!™

While I breathlessly wait for developments such as Corduroy Strider, Silk Strider, Angora Strider, Lycra Strider and others of that ilk, I think the more important quest we must ask should be directed at Slothy himself….
Did reading Cleo at lunch really teach you that “You want a Man”, and how to “Take him to heaven and back in the sack”, or “when sex becomes making love” and “what he’d really like you to wear”.
Also, did you take the quiz on whatever subject it was that month, and did you score enough to be declared ‘soul partners for life”. These are all very important issues, and I’m sure you’ll understand that our curiosity is heartfelt and genuine :s6:
Cheers
Jason

3FB's Queer Eye for XR_Strider_GuY
Now that explains the reduced Meguiar's loadout in Strider's Cleaning Kit. Some R & D going into some Denim alternatives, or was that some alternatives to detailing the XR altogether???

I knew some smart-arse would ask that! Didn't look at those bits. Was only interested in the denim section. Honest!

No, I didn't take the quiz. I was only after the denim section but I must say the sealed section got a look-see as well...
My turn to ask a question. Where on the front cover is a quiz mentioned? HOW DO YOU KNOW THERE IS A QUIZ IN EVERY ISSUE???

Oh man how have I missed this thread!!!!! There are just *SO* many questions arising out of this, I don't know where to begin!!!
Clearly Strider and the Slothman are coming under some well deserved scrutiny - but for Strider this is nothing new
I think Horse and Bluedriver are on the money here too...
