11/4/04 - Real Guys Don't Have Handbags

Germantown, MD

I always like to join in with the girls for coffee, chit-chat, and that sort of thing. So I was feeling a little excluded by the current handbag show-and-tell (well, actually, just Show), since I only rarely carry a handbag. (No, darling, not even that cute little beaded thing. It's so yesterday.) Anyway, I decided I needed to just empty my jeans pockets and see how I measure up, so to speak. This doesn't include the dogtag, dog whistle, and crossword pen I wear on a lanyard around my neck, but it's pretty much everything else. (And I always thought my jeans were tight just because I'm porky.)

BTW - I don't believe the girls are actually showing everything in their bags. If they are, then I'll bet only the married ones are participating. (Let's see how much trouble this gets me into.)

PS - Crop, curve adjust (for shadow detail), USM, frame.

Oh, shit! You mean I have to inventory this pile?
Wallet w/driver's license, bank card, Starbucks card, etc.
YMCA ID and guest pass
Phone
Money clip (with not much in it)
Stray crumpled dollar bill (???)
Pocket knife (removed at airports and courthouses)
Keys (car, house, mailbox, running club equipment shed)
Loose change
Lens cap
Various receipts (Borders, Bed Bath & Beyond (photo props), and Sunday night's dinner)
Carabiener (In case I go rock climbing???)
Visine
Pill thingie (white, pink, and blue pills in it)
No lippy, tampons, make-up, emory boards, rubbers, or compacts.

I'd not seen this Dennis - got it pointed out to me....too busy to surf at the moment.

BUT this is fab and would be a worthy addition to the gallery.

Is that all the stuff in your pockets or are you happy to see me?

I think that's more stuff than I have in my purse, though now all of these purse/pocket revealings have me curious to see what's all in mine.

HEY! I totally dumped mine and photographed it....girlie products and all! I too have a hard time believing that of all of us there are only 2 now that have ADMITTED to....WHATEVER!

Busted! I left the lint, dog hair, dog cookie crumb, and tattered toothpick out. I feel,.. well, sort of like the Bush administration.

Love the commentary and hope you've stirred up some trouble. (Good therapy after that election!) Now, were I to unload my jeans pockets, there would be lint. I don't see any lint here. Care to explain?? lol
Cheryl Hawkins04-Nov-2004 22:38
Cool! I'm glad you joined in. How big are your pockets?
Si Kirk04-Nov-2004 22:35

Brave guy! Are you SURE you don't want a handbag for all that? *wink*
