Survey: Gay or 'Continental'?
Howard Beale
record keeping, cell phone, tea bags, card protector, eye glass cleaning
cloths, pens and sometimes a can of sardines for lunch. Other sundries as
they come up. This really fills up my pockets and since I've bought a
fleece jacket that can just be tossed in the washing maching that I use
for the poker room there is hardly room. Over the years I've tried fanny
packs, tote bags and a back-pack. Six years ago I bought a very nice
leather male purse ala the one used by Kramer in an episode of Seinfeld,
IIRC. Well, I got a ton of grief the first day I wore it. "Hey, he's
wearing a purse!" "What do you have in your purse!" "Don't forget your
purse and don't let anybody snatch anything from it!" And just plain
"Hahahahahaha!" I stuck it in a drawer and forgot all about it until now
when I re-discovered it going through the cabinets.
The thing is it's perfect for taking my stuff to the poker room. I have
asked a few people I know (including bcook823) and the sophisticates
amongst them have said it looks fine, times have changed, and it's
perfectly acceptable. There was one low-life, cretinous moron who said it
was way Gay. No matter what they say I'm going to use it but it DOES feel
strange and I'd like an opinion sampling.
So: 'Man purse': 'Way Gay' or 'Continental Sophisticate'?

I'm with Arlo. Don't worry about what others think. Anyway, it sounds neither
gay nor continental to me. It may fit more into the metrosexual category, which
is hot right now. (Or was that yesterday?) ;-)

If it works for you, then go with it. Really, think of the advantage you'll
have over the macho men at the table who won't stand to be beaten by someone
they consider to be swishy.
Growing up in a very macho community, I loathed wearing pink shirts until I got
one as a gift one Christmas; the color happens to look good on me and the
attention I received from the females made me forget the hangups I and others
had about wearing pastel pink.
Trust me, those in the know will realize a man confident in himself will be
toting that around.
I'd remove the Backstreet Boys ringtone from your cell phone though.

I think the only real question that needs to be answered here is:
If carrying it will affect other's perception of you at the poker table, do
you think you could profit from that perception?
I know a guy who's rather feminine and plays a lot of poker. He also
happens to be severely diabetic and has to give himself shots several times
a day. He has quite the portable station that he carries with him, and he
chose a bag much like you described in order to carry his medications.
Every once in a while, he'll leave the table to go get some insulin, and
some smartass will make a wisecrack about "the gay guy and his purse".
Since there are always 5-6 people at the table who have been through the
rigamarole before, it's been a tradition to yield the right of way to the
most "experienced" at it to come up with the best wisecracks in return. My
most recent was, "did you see the way he clutched his bag before running to
the bathroom? I hope he's okay. You see, his meds are in there, and if he
misses a dose, he might die."
My point being?
As long as you don't smell funny, have big hair that gets in my way, or are
left handed sitting to my right, I could care less what you bring to the
poker room. I've run across a lot of very strange people playing poker over
the years. The thought of someone being gay or having gay tendencies
doesn't even strike me as odd anymore.
The guy at the other end of the table with his Goth getup makes me a little
nervous, though. You seen these guys? Black hair. Black lipstick. Black
eyeshadow. Black eyeliner. Black mascera. Powder white powder stuff that
you dab all over your face (can't remember what it's called). These guys
make themselves appear dead before they go out in public, and they think
it's cool. I even played with a guy with vampire fang implants once. He
kept trying to convince me to come check out his church. Now THAT's creepy.
The guy with a purse? Hell. It's probably his wife's. As long as he
doesn't invite me to church, I think we'll be okay.

Well it's not like you couldn't already have guessed. The two black guys
that didn't have an alibi have been charged. Even though they were
innocent (and really the passenger had nothing to do with it) their public
defender told them they should take the plea deal, so they did.
The other 8 who were stopped had their cars and their personal effects
thoroughly searched. Four were found with drugs in the car. Two had
weapons. The last car had no drugs or weapons in it, and neither were on
probation so the cop wrote a speeding ticket. The passenger couldn't be
charged with a crime, or made to sign a summons so the police officer
planted some marijuana in his pocket so he could finally be put in the
system.
Once again the police put their lives on the line to protect law abiding
citizens from 10 potentially dangerous criminals.

it's not exactly gay, it's just not gangsta. unless you carry a gun or a
shank in it that is. Hey, there you go....carry a shank with you and if
anybody talks shit say "I KEEPS IT REAL" and cut the motherfucker's

I won a nice bet with those sardines once. One day I offered the table a
bet on whether or not I had a can of sardines in my pocket-their choice.
The action was high on the 'no sardines' side and I made a nice few bucks.

Not true. Fat Joe and many other rappers wear pink. wearing pink is only
gay if you're not intimidating enough to make people not laugh at you for
wearing a gay ass pink shirt. Fat Joe wears pink and it's gangsta. Nelly
wears pink and he's a faggot.
But with the a pink shirt and a texas accent....yeah that's pretty fucking

I say it depends on how you carry it.
If you carry it with the strap over one shoulder, gay.
If you carry it with the strao over your body, off the right shoulder with the
bag being on your left hip, then it's OK.
Either way, I'll still like you.

they gave away casino logo jackets like they were pop corn. Get to the
final table at a tourney, get a big hand.....just about anything was good
enough to trigger the award of a jacket and, naturally, those of us who
attended regularly soon had a closet full of 'em. The player could choose
the color of his or her choice, since they came in white, green, black,
and....of all things, a blushing pink!
Well, a friend of mine, for some reason, picked out a pink one and wore it
every time he went to play poker. Since this chap never, never, tips, and
has a few other iconoclastic tendencies, he is well known to all the
"regulars." They naturally got a real kick out of his pink costume, as
everyone assumed it was a "ladies" jacket. They joked about it a lot behind
his back, but my friend--and perhaps it is a characteristic of those who
hear a different drumbeat--was quite oblivious to the chatter.
One day I made a point of telling my pink-jacketed pal how much I admired
his ability to disregard the comments of others and wear whatever he wanted.
My friend didn't know what I was talking about. So I explained how I
thought it showed he had a lot of self-confidence to ignore what others were
saying about his jacket. Furthermore, I said that, afterall, pink does not
have to be reserved solely for women, and that a lot of real masculine men
might even look good in it--if any would ever wear it. I concluded by
saying that he must have a lot of inner strength and be secure in his
masculinity to be able to completely ignore convention, no matter that the
rest of the world was laughing at him.
Needless to say, he has never worn the jacket since.

if it works for you -- I dont care if you have sex with a goat standing
up in a hammock - it is your choice and the great thing about growing
old gracefully is you can do what you like and not worry about the world

I'd put it in the "It's about time!" category. I've always thought it
made just as much sense for a man to carry a purse or bag as a woman.
Some years ago, my husband asked me why I always carried such a big,
heavy purse. I answered, "A lot of this shit is stuff *you* want me to
carry around. If you'd get your own purse, I wouldn't need this big
ol' thing."

what's wrong with a nice leather brief case? if you're worried about
it being lifted, put it on a nice strong chain.
but really, after fanny packs it's pretty much been all downhill. except
the bump at the bottom that included the see through backpack (for
security reasons).

I have seen the bag. It does kinda look like a gun case, its about that size.
Its a nice brown leather though, and I don't think it looks gay.
Gay or not, every time I walk over to say hi to Mr Beale, he is dragging a pot.

Useless trivia about my life:

My father carried one for a long time prior to fanny packs (dorky). He
was a math professor. My mom made him stop wearing a pocket protector
for all the pens, compasses, protractors etc. so he carried around a
shaving kit like bag (it was more rectangluar than a shaving kit) with
everything in it. He could also but his plastic coin pursue thing in
there per my mom's suggestion. You just don't see those around much
anymore. He never did get away from the sandals with black socks while
wearing pants, however.
Pantsless pocket is more nerdy than gay. Either way, girls are running
from you. Though there are surely some gay nerds out there.
