Your point being?

Well, let's see here, since I guess it's not as painfully obvious as I had originally thought.

I explained how I used to and would still like to wear a fannypack for both irony and practical purposes while riding a bike. You seemed to think that that was "gay". I was massively confused and felt the need to remind you of a recent post of yours where you listed articles of clothing you purchased, which included the above gay items, and provided no explanation of any potential inconspicuous purpose, such as irony, and therefore assumed that you had indeed purchased them for their essential ostentatious intention of faggy fashion. Then, I figured that the juxtaposition of your list to the remarking of a fannypack would make it obvious which was more obviously gay.

Just my personal preference. I dislike fanny packs. I don't know how people can manage to wear them.

Do you ride a bike? If so, do you ride many miles/kilometers, and often? I'm not being fashionable. I'm being, like I said, practical and anti-fashionable (and thrifty too, actually). A fanny pack fits much better and allows for a more unobstructed and comfortable ride than a backpack or one of those retardedly gay messenger bags when you only have a small amount of things to carry.

I've never found wearing a backpack while riding a bike to be uncomfortable.

I don't understand the irony either

I didn't even know they made purple jeans

I guess he would look like this in them.

you're a fucking canuck, dumbshit, of course you don't.

accessorizing like a middle aged housewife or a person that needs to carry around an adrenaline pen isn't being ironic.

Woudln't "anti-fashionable" still be fashionable? Because you're purposefully choosing something as a fashion statement, even if it is against the accepted norm. Wouldn't anti-fashionable be just grabbing things at random with no thought?

Firing up the grill. Woo, good food tonight.

seems kind of early.

i don't have a grill.

It's almost 3. Just now putting charcoal on. Food will be done around 4 or so. Not too early.

uh, nooooo.....do you know what the prefix "anti" means? It's more comparable to religion and atheism. It's not itself a religion (fashion), or even so much a commentary on others, just a complete lack thereof.

And chaddy is still an idiot.

I know what anti means, but you're doing it purposefully... so there is a fashion sense there. Which is my point.

Let's clarify some more. To me, fashion is purposefully putting something together to have a certain look. Which is what you're stating you are doing. I'm wearing this to look/seem like this.

Even if you're trying to not make a statement you're making a statement.

Busy weekend coming up. Once I get back from uni this afternoon I'll be off again to the city for a friends birthday. Going to some bar for drinks then going to a night club. Party is meant to end sometime tomorrow morning then it shall be back home to sleep for a bit then I'll be back up and off to see some of the local bands do their thing. No time to rest pretty much for the next 24 hours or so.

Exactly. The fact that he's trying to oppose the exact thing he's doing isn't as much ironic as it is plain idiocy.

You guys are ignoring the fact that its first purpose served to me is as an ergonomical alternative to a backpack, meaning it's an optimized necessity first, and an ironic and funny " accessory" second; just something worth at least a laugh, even if only to myself.

Even if you found a practical use for wearing a chrome dildo on your nose, the fact remains that a chrome dildo face is gay.

That is false, seeing as how there are only two possible "practical uses" for a dill on the nose: to penetrate a woman's orifice, and to penetrate a man's orifice. This is a 50/50 chance, and not a guarantee of fagdom as you claim. Wearing one out and around town with no sexual intentions I wouldn't say qualifies as gay either, just silly.
