aardvark baguette Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 I usually keep my wallet in my back pocket, and after a few years, the leather really gets worn... I'm going to try and keep it in a front pocket, and see how much better it holds up. I've never been able to stand it in the back pocket. Costanza syndrome.
Salt Peanuts Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 I've never been able to stand it in the back pocket. Costanza syndrome. I had to stop carrying it in my back pocket since it was making my butt (and back of my thigh) numb.
n_maher Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 I had to stop carrying it in my back pocket since it was making my butt (and back of my thigh) numb. It's been widely reported how bad an idea it is to carry a wallet in your back pocket. I stopped 10 years or more ago. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/17/health/17real.html?_r=1&oref=slogin BBC NEWS | Health | Is your wallet a pain in the back?
Dusty Chalk Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 I've kept mine in my front pocket for security reasons ever since I talked to that cop -- he said that's what he did, to thwart pickpockets. Which was like 2 decades ago. PS They don't fare much better, in terms of wear. I buy cheap-ish wallets, so the first place they deteriorate is they "shrink" (wrinkle at the corners, etc.).
grawk Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 XM Xpress-R to replace the xm radio that was stolen from our car.
Voltron Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 XM Xpress-R to replace the xm radio that was stolen from our car. Are you going to sign up for the new Sirius content when available (assuming it doesn't get stolen again)?
grawk Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 If I can easily add the grateful dead channel and jamon and npr, otherwise, no
Voltron Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 If I can easily add the grateful dead channel and jamon and npr, otherwise, no Yeah, it is stupid the way that they are setting it up. There will be an additional charge of $2-3/month and you get some of the Sirius content but I am not sure all of it. In the end I assume they are going to collapse it down and end up with a combination.
Contrastique Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 2 of these: Finally able to get them from the States. Only $250 shipment cost so pretty doable but they are what I want and you can't them over here.. Hopefully they'll be here next week or so, they are supposed to be on their way now yihaa!
thrice Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 the issue isn't wallets in general, but thick wallets. take all that shit out periodically, and it isn't an issue. some men seem to think their wallet is a purse replacement. need a purse? buy a purse. got a purse? die in a fire. I use this in my front pocket...love it: Jimi™ Wallet. Credit Card Wallets with Detachable Money Clip I love whippin' out my Jimi.

Grand Enigma Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 Thanks for the link, I think I may have found my new wallet. Stephen, how many credit cards (or their equivalent) can it hold? How grippy is said wallet? Looks to me like it would be rather hard to get out of a pocket if it is rubbery like it looks.
Salt Peanuts Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 4 Argh. Not even close to being enough for my purpose. I guess the search continues.
thrice Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 Thanks for the link, I think I may have found my new wallet. Stephen, how many credit cards (or their equivalent) can it hold? 4 CCs, but you can get 5 cards in there if one of them is your DL. You could put another card in the money clip portion to get a total of 6 cards in there, but then you wouldn't have room for cash. I was trying to go minimal and it's been great. Fortunately I carry a backpack to work and I've got all my other cards in my old wallet in there, but those things are more specific in use and I don't "need" them everyday. This wallet has been great. How grippy is said wallet? Looks to me like it would be rather hard to get out of a pocket if it is rubbery like it looks. Nope, smooth and easy to remove.
jinp6301 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 I use this in my front pocket...love it: Jimi™ Wallet. Credit Card Wallets with Detachable Money Clip I love whippin' out my Jimi. I have one with a facebook mark on it somewhere at home, if I can find it and someone wants it, I'll be glad to give it away. I really dislike that thing. Totally useless imo
Fungi Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 I have to agree with Jin here, it's pretty gimmicky and doesn't hold enough stuff. But then again I am looking for a wallet and not that thing.
jinp6301 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Posted August 29, 2008 I use a cheap vinyl wallet with velcro that my brother used in middle school.
grawk Posted August 30, 2008 Report Posted August 30, 2008 I used to use a duct tape wallet, but I destroyed it, so now I have a nylon columbia wallet.
naamanf Posted August 30, 2008 Report Posted August 30, 2008 Yes as long as the hooch is in a plastic container and less than three ounce. You can bring as many that can fit in a zip-lock bag. For the machine gun as long as it's in a locked container and checked. You could also try for the rectal cavity method but YRMV. On a side note when we fly over here and back we are all armed, most with a carbine and side arm. But they won't let us have knives. Go figure.
Knuckledragger Posted August 30, 2008 Report Posted August 30, 2008 Move 2-3000 records out of my living room so that the contractors can access the south wall on Tuesday.
lostonetr Posted August 30, 2008 Report Posted August 30, 2008 what kinda wallet is that? and =/ Had a $10 off 10 for the body shop, but the coupon was no good. Was at the mall already, and was in need some sort of moisturizing magic.
