    Hey, I've got it.

    Thumb tacks! That'll keep the flashes in place, hold up the hose, and avoid the possiblity of constrcting the calves.

    Maybe I should patent this idea! Hmmm. (Let's see, add the I could put a celtic knot on the top, or offer clan crests . . . .)

    That is truly ridiculous. Thumb tacks would pop right out. But a staple gun would be about right. Nail gun might be a bit of overkill. But I suppose the added bling from a nice finishing nail would be an interesting touch.
