By the way, what the hell happened to ladies hosiery? You dames finally give up on the torture of pantyhose? Photo: Jim Wilson/The NYT. Click to enlarge.

Every picture of Bristol (ha ha, where did you come up with that cockney slang interpretation of "bristol"? Fuckin' hilarious!) that I see has her holding Trig (I swear to Yahweh, people come up with stupider and stupider kids' names the longer I live). I guess she put him down long enough to get knocked up.

The Editor Answers:

Well, we knew "nice pair o' Bristols," just didn't know it came from "titty" & "Bristol City." And there's always the possibility that Bristol is holding Trig because he's really her daughter.

Did you see the MoDo extract w/ the reasons for the names in "All in the Family Way" just below?
