that's cool man. i think there is a man law about purses though. :lol: i guess i'm old fashioned but i still carry a wallet and i prefer as inside the pant holster or a yaqui slide for my .45. my knife rides in a sheath, the rest of my crap goes in pockets. hhmmmmmm, maybe i need a purse afterall. :lol:

no question about your male/sensitive side cause this is a manley site, and good for ladies as well. ::tu::

bill, thanks for the link, now i know. don't read the wall street journal.

I admit it. I carry a man purse sometimes. ::huff:: I have one of these, but I only use it on special occasions ...and only with my brown leather shoes. :lol: ...I have a green one that goes nicely with my black shoes. :mrgreen: :lol:

Just messin' with 'ya johnnie!!!

In the untamed wilderness that is Chicago, the man purse works for me as a livin' on the edge, playin' by my own rules textbook editor. ::smirk::

It does manage to contain my urban survival kit...SAK, Altoids, GameBoy, bandana, Band-Aids, rain hat, cell phone, etc, etc, etc.

It is interesting to see the differences in what constitutes appropriate EDC in Tejas vs. Chi-Town.

Though, and here comes my big point...I've been interested in Urban Survival for a while, and you know what I've concluded is the best knife for it?

A nice slippie. A SAK or maybe a Stockman, Whittler, Peanut, ... whatever.

I get the feeling its the same for TX Survival, too. I think that's pretty cool!

Well, I think Bryan and I have made it clear...the "boys from Illinois" carry man purses and are the coolest.

Now johnnie's belly pack...I don't know my friend...isn't that what the fellas doing their power walk in the mall at 6 AM wear over their velour sweatsuits? :lol:

Sorry. Couldn't pass that one up.

I have a pretty good sized belly pack built right in. ::disgust::

It's a beer belly pack. Capable of holding close to a dozen beers or so. ::nod::

You fellas are cracking me up.

Lets face it...man purse...belly pack...its all good.

Fella needs something he can stash his cool stuff in. As I get older (and belly pack gets larger) I find I get more like a kid...if I have some cool toys I can EDC...I'm pretty happy.

What's super cool is that, now that I'm a grown-up, if I want a pocket knife...I can buy one (or several)! Took me years to realize that.

Texas Turkey is Longhorn-State slang for armadillo.

8) Johnnie; I read once, that during the "GREAT DEPRESSION" in the

1930's, due to the scarcity of food ARMIDILLO'S were referred to

as "TEXAS TURKEYS" and considered a real treat! Saving many people

from starvation! ::shrug::

just givin ya a hard time mitch. :lol: sorry but i'm a native and have'nt heard that one about texas turkey being slang for a dilla. the dilla has been eaten (not by me) from mexico through it's range. at one time leprosy was said to be spread by dillas. they are an interesting animal. not shy. and pretty fun to watch. canoeing down the brazos and camped on a mesquire sandbar(not sambar) i woke to a thrashing and gnashing in the bush by my camp. drew a pistol and light and three dilla came waltzing out straight through camp without paying any attention to us. scared the crap out of me! :lol:

I thought the dilla's main purpose in life was to provide a target for one of the front tires. :mrgreen: :lol: :lol:

MITCH RAPP; ("during the "GREAT DEPRESSION" in the 1930's, due to the scarcity of food).

I just wanted to add that in them days of the DEPRESSION. Here in IL the farmers had lots of corn, but no one would buy it cuz they had no $$$$.
So the farmers just burned it to stay worm. Yup they did that. I have many old stories about those times. All not good. ::td:: ::td::

Hukk good one. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Do you know why the chicken crossed the road?

To show the possum that it can be done... :lol: :lol:

(Possum lay down on the road and pretend they are dead. Just waiting for a front tire)
