Bill Maxwell hates saggin' pants. Do you?
This is how St Petersburg Times writer Bill Maxwell began his Sunday column this week:
"All right, call me an old goat, a geezer, an old codger, a curmudgeon, an Uncle Tom or any other unflattering name.
I don't care.
Let it be known, here and now, that I hate saggin' pants. I dislike being in the company of anyone wearing these buffoonish, self-loathing and effeminate getups."

Some towns are actually passing laws to outlaw baggy pants that drift too far south. Where do you draw the line?
