An awesome massage cushion for use in a car, complete with many motors and magnets.\n\nProblem is: I don't drive a car presently.

It's called a crappy one. \nI wouldn't trust the velcro if it comes to needing what the leash is actually intended for. A good leash is one you dont really see.\nFor Der man- like the other response, one that is visible is more likely to get hung up on something.

Get some elastic or velcro from your local drapery store, it be a lot cheaper than buying strapes if the girls lose them..

Didn't find an inventor. Apparently, the practice of binding the ends of a strap dates back to at least Shakespeare's time (see article below), so I don't know if you'll be able to identify anyone as the sole inventor.\n\nHere's the Wikipedia article:\n\nAn aglet or aiglet is the little plastic or metal cladding on the end of shoelaces that keeps the twine from unraveling. The word comes from the latin word acus which means needle. In times past, aglets were usually made of metal though some were glass or stone. Many were highly ornamental, and made of precious metals such as silver. Before the invention of buttons, they were used on the ends of ribbons to fasten clothing together. Sometimes they would be formed into small figures. Shakespeare calls this type of figure an "aglet baby" in The Taming of the Shrew. Purely decorative metal ornaments called aigullette are sometimes features of modern military dress uniforms. \n\nIn modern times an aglet is a frequently used example of a common object whose name is relatively unknown. Perhaps due to this, they are occasionally referenced in popular culture. According to the paranoiac superhero The Question in Justice League Unlimited, their true purpose is sinister. According to characters from Achewood, aglets are a key ingredient in a drug called "Fool's Meth."

I think your best bet for jockey is a younger less experienced horse one who responds well to the yoke.  Not because your harsh but because your both learning.  A stud not tried on the circut of familiar maybe a bit sheltered.  A stud who is running for the sake of the said jockey and for no other reason.  I really think you'd be a fine jockey on the right stead.  I say you buy the silks but you need to choose the right stead.  You've seen sea biscut right the most unpredictable of rides can prove winners.

they do. don't know where they got that. I use one at the gym. You think people are going to wear their underwear under their gym shorts? And there's a tv commercial out now with this little guy on a football team getting dressed with big guys all around and he picks up a jock strap belonging to someone else and it's HUGE. In football, they have jock straps and you put the cup inside the jock strap. Same for baseball. You think they wear their underwear underneath?

The name for those "bandages" is polo wraps. They can be a long wrap that has to be put on by hand or they can be what is called splint boots. They are there for a few reasons. The first being that they provide support for the area of the leg they are put on. The second is that they provide protection from shoes, kicks, etc, from themselves or another horse. Some horses do what is called over reaching. This happens especially at the trot. The horse will clip his front leg with his back leg and can hurt himself as well as his rider should he fall from it. Third, it can be used to protect minor cuts from being infected by dirt or track sand.   No the horse is not hurt or he would not be racing.

wear it around your head.\n\nIt can be worn with or without a jock strap.  Some come with briefs with a pocket for it.

I think it is an Australian term and has something to do with the silks (or colours).\n\nFound this for you.... (it is not the colours)\nROLLING ALONG: Just why are jockeys called hoops? "Hayes hoops cop a hiding", said yesterday's The Sunday Age over Saturday suspensions of Craig Williams and Dwayne Dunn. According to Alec Selman, the former stipendiary steward, an example of it was seen in Melbourne recently when the Irish jockeys were competing there. "One had a fall and rolled along the ground [like a hoop]," he pointed out. The jockey remained motionless, a point all once followed until attended by the ambulance men. "The term originated from the National Hunt racing in Great Britain," Selman added.

Try "rec-specs".  My daughter plays soccer and hers has a strap, but they plenty without, and a lot of them are pretty cool.
