this a good thread

would've bet money on your follow up post being "belt LOOP"

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:03 (eighteen years ago)

What mag/paper do you usually have with you?

i'm getting self-conscious about doing this

J0rdan S., Monday, 31 December 2007 10:13 (eighteen years ago)

usually blender or GQ (can afford 0 of the clothes they talk about but they usually run really good features) or new york times/usa today (we get those both for free on campus + local paper and st louis dispatch so i usually grab one even if i don't think i'll read it) or the school paper if i have something in it.

J0rdan S., Monday, 31 December 2007 10:15 (eighteen years ago)

GQ & Details are mags I totally feel ashamed to be buying for some reason, but they do have killer features (& Details has Andy Langer!).

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:24 (eighteen years ago)

Wallet
Keys
Phone
I'm good

The Reverend, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:24 (eighteen years ago)

I usually have Harper's/Atlantic or Decibel/XXL, depending on my mood that morning. xp

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:25 (eighteen years ago)

Afro pick if my hair happens to be long, which it is not now, so no afro pick

The Reverend, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:25 (eighteen years ago)

do you have lolhueg wallet syndrome rev

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:26 (eighteen years ago)

also w/ the way this year has gone i usually have a magazine with lil wayne on the cover w/ me that i inevitably ditch 40 mins after i buy it bcuz i remember his interviews are unreadable and that i don't care about flo rida or plies whoever gets articles written about them in rap mags nowadays

J0rdan S., Monday, 31 December 2007 10:29 (eighteen years ago)

deej's thing on gorilla zoe in vibe (?) was cool tho as far as those things go

J0rdan S., Monday, 31 December 2007 10:30 (eighteen years ago)

No I do not have lolhueg wallet syndrome, BIG HOOS aka the steendriver.

The Reverend, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:32 (eighteen years ago)

i bought a new wallet recently and only carry debit card, credit card, cash and ID in it. finally ditching useless gift cards and BUY 78 SUBS GET 1 (!!!) FREE cards is a SMALL PLEASURE

J0rdan S., Monday, 31 December 2007 10:33 (eighteen years ago)

wallet, change, phone, keys.
the globe and mail, if i haven't read it yet. the local free dailies, if i haven't done the puzzles yet.

always a book- usually a novel, or short stories. even if i do not bring a bag with me, i will grab a book small enough for a jacket pocket if i expect to be on a bus or in a lineup etc etc for any length of time.

derrrick, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:33 (eighteen years ago)

Contents of wallet:

Driver's liscence
College ID
Debit Card
Credit Card I've never used
Business cards

The Reverend, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:34 (eighteen years ago)

Lolhueg wallet syndrome makes sitting uncomfortable, so I avoid it.

YSI?

J0rdan S., Monday, 31 December 2007 10:37 (eighteen years ago)

I ask cause I had lolhueg wallet syndrome for years til I did the notebook-as-wallet thing. Ditched the BUY 78 SUBS GET 1 (!!!) FREE cards, but keep them in the glove compartment in case I'm ever in the market for that shit. Haven't opened said compartment once.

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:38 (eighteen years ago)

Sorry JS, but money-sharing technology is bad. The RIAA says so.

The Reverend, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:40 (eighteen years ago)

http://www.thednastore.com/images/moneyclip/clip1f.jpg

this is the next frontier. only problem is rarely have cash on me.

J0rdan S., Monday, 31 December 2007 10:40 (eighteen years ago)

Money clips seem too "I'm a shady business man, who has lots of friends who happen to be mobsters" to me.

The Reverend, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:42 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah I don't really fuck with cash

Agree, so I know I'd look absurd carrying one.

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:45 (eighteen years ago)

do you guys "fuck with" change?

J0rdan S., Monday, 31 December 2007 10:46 (eighteen years ago)

my answer is i usually save it and wait till i get back to my car for meter parking

J0rdan S., Monday, 31 December 2007 10:46 (eighteen years ago)

avoid it when i can.

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:47 (eighteen years ago)

I keep it in separated bags at home that I keep telling myself I'll take to the bank sooner or later.

The Reverend, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:48 (eighteen years ago)

Yeah I've got a milk bottle at home for nick/dime/pennies, and a little container labeled "Laundry Money" for quarters.

New apartment uses debit cards for laundry machines (!!), so the latter's kinds useless now.

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:49 (eighteen years ago)

I pay for most small purchases in cash, so I always have tons of it. When I was SF, I didn't want to be carrying change and there were always lots of bums around, so I just gave all my change to the nearest bum.

The Reverend, Monday, 31 December 2007 10:50 (eighteen years ago)

was IN SF (/Jordan)

probably that too

J0rdan S., Monday, 31 December 2007 11:10 (eighteen years ago)

pockets: keys, phone, wallet, gum (sometimes).
bag: cases for spectacles + sunglasses, various bits of paper and tat that seem to collect there. wallet goes in bag if i am wearing the "tight jeans". ipod goes in bag when not in use, otherwise gets hooked onto belt. (this also serves as handy reminder to put on belt.)

haitch, Monday, 31 December 2007 11:12 (eighteen years ago)

oh fuck i always always have gum with me. also usually have ipod in hoodie pocket.

J0rdan S., Monday, 31 December 2007 11:16 (eighteen years ago)

* Wallet
* A purse for coins
* Pen
* ID
* Cell phone
* A portable CD player
* 3-6 CDs to listen to
* Condoms
* Something to read in public transport (a book, a comic, or a magazine)
* Keys obviously

I have a bag with me to carry all these, usually I don't have anything in my pockets, because I think that's sorta uncool.

Tuomas, Monday, 31 December 2007 11:21 (eighteen years ago)

Oh yeah, I forgot that I always have my "won't be coming home tonight" beauty bag with me, because you never know where you end up for the night. It includes:

* Deodorant
* Toothbrush
* Toothpaste
* Hair gel

Tuomas, Monday, 31 December 2007 11:28 (eighteen years ago)

I try to minimize the pocket shit (tight pants + increasing paunch = bad news cell phone bulge or whatever), but I keep my phone on vibrate at all times (I don't really fuck with Fur Elise and I get tired of whatever ringtone I download after a couple days, plus it's a pain to put it on/off silent when it needs be) so it needs to stay in pocket.

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 31 December 2007 11:29 (eighteen years ago)

wtf tuomas do you roll with a suitcase 24/7?

J0rdan S., Monday, 31 December 2007 11:30 (eighteen years ago)

.45
hip flask

That one guy that hit it and quit it, Monday, 31 December 2007 11:31 (eighteen years ago)

just in case i end up lost in the woods i usually carry two cans of soup with me

J0rdan S., Monday, 31 December 2007 11:32 (eighteen years ago)

hoos otm w/r/t cell phones and vibration

J0rdan S., Monday, 31 December 2007 11:32 (eighteen years ago)

always sure to keep my electronic moose caller on me cause who knows right

BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 31 December 2007 11:33 (eighteen years ago)

wtf tuomas do you roll with a suitcase 24/7?

No, just an ordinary shoulder-bag. It's relatively big though, but I can't manage without all that stuff. I never understood guys who can just go out for a night with nothing but a wallet in their pocket.

Tuomas, Monday, 31 December 2007 11:33 (eighteen years ago)

this isn't about going out "for the night".

That one guy that hit it and quit it, Monday, 31 December 2007 11:34 (eighteen years ago)

do you roll with said shoulder bag to the club/social events as well?

just seems strange to me

I've had the same bottle-opener on my keychain for the past 15 years.

(A Maneater keychain, Columbians!)

Wallet (in front pocket.) Stupid cellphone in the other.

My briefcase which I carry to work has all sorts of crap in it. Library books, peppermints, doctor's notes, ink pens, some sort of magnifying card, iPod, stenographer notebooks, paycheck stubs from September, magazines. Isn't that interesting?

In the summer, iPod goes in the bag; in the winter, iPod goes in coat pocket

nerve.com wants to know, what are five things you can't live without!

<blockquote>Of course you "can" live without most of it, but a lot of us choose not to.

One of my high priority things is a removable shower head. No, im not talkin for reasons of which most of you are thinking........however it is good for that too.. BUT I can't stand shower heads that are not removable because I just feel it doesn't rinse as well otherwise. Especially when you're in a rush. It's so much easier, cleaner, and practical.

What's something you know you can't live without. Excluding vehicles, sex, cell phones, computers, tv, and video games. I know those will be the main ones listed if I don't exclude them now.</blockquote>

The trouble with pockets is that it only needs a forgetful change of clothing and you're cashless and oyster-less.

Bob Six, Tuesday, 1 January 2008 12:43 (eighteen years ago)

before you take your trousers/jacket off take everything out of the pockets and throw it on the floor, then pick it up next time you get dressed
