    Easy solution. As soon as the tongue start to shift, pull out a gun, point it at the shoe tongue and threaten to cap it if it doesn't moved back immediately. Follow through with your threat. The right tongue will learn a lesson, and the left tongue will be too scared to try it.

    Yes, I think it is generally accepted that the longer you spend in south america, the greater the chance of #2 occurring. (Forgive me.)

    Interesting -- I will try this...

    But I think I will have to change the order (?)
    1. Lose that belt
    2. sag them corduroy's
    3. step up, yo, my game, playa (?)

    I'm not sure how to accomplish step 3, but I do a mean foxtrot!

    Thank you grasshopper errrr B-Bob for allowing me this opportunity to remind the BBS about the importance of memorizing your BML's (Basic Man Laws).

    BML 7-1. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40.
    BML 7-2. If it moves and it shouldn't, use duct tape (note the proper manly spelling of duct).

    Obviously, you either need to WD-40 your waist, or duct tape your belt.

    Next. :D :cool:

    Duct tape actually worked, FWIW.

    Call the Justice League. A time traveler or flash is ****ing with you.

    ... Speaking of time travel, it took a decade to resolve the issue?

    Plus, I am a slow learner. Plus, I haven't been wearing cords very often.

    I enjoy a good pair of corduroy pants but, to my chagrin, I have little reason to wear them here in Austin. Maybe in the "dead" of winter (these days, that might be in the low '60's, even the '50's - in other words, maybe as cool as it can be in San Francisco during the summer). It's been bothering me for years. I know I won't sleep well tonight worrying about the conundrum you face, B-Bob. Belts can be mysterious. It may not be the pants. As an aside, one thing I can say about Austin after living here for about 38 years. It's getting warmer. My cords are pissed off.

    what are the odds that someone out there in the world has the same problem as OP?

    https://www.styleforum.net/threads/unwanted-sliding-of-belt.150154/

    Hi all [​IMG]

    I can't figure out why one pair of all my pants causes the belt (any belt) to slide to the right, towards the loop. When walking the belt slides and in 10 minutes after putting it in the centre the buckle ends up by the first loop on the right side (when looking down on my waist).

    The pants are a pair of Andrew double pleat corduroys from Polo Ralph Lauren. These are my only pleated pants, could that have something to do with the belt sliding?

    I guess a little loop by the button would eliminate slipping, but there is no such loop. [​IMG]

    Answer to Q2 is definitely the Coriolis effect.

    Hmmm....B-Bob's buckle turns to the left. The Swedish guy is right swinging.

    ive never noticed it specifically with cords, but i definitely have some pants/jorts where the belt slides over the course of the day. perhaps its not cords in general, but the material j peterman uses that is causing all that slippin' and slidin'. or the belt loop is too far over.
