jadedcynic - > -> What are your "Gotta Have" 6?
What are your "Gotta Have" 6?

Inspired by this Miss Manners post below...What are 6 things that you find necessary?

For day to day running around, mine are: a ziplock bag of cheerios, hand sanitizer, purse size manicure set (has clippers, file, tweezers, cuticle scissors all in one), sunglasses, $20 cash, & chapstick

Dear Miss Manners,
I have been told that a gentleman should always have six things on him -- a cigarette lighter, small flashlight, handkerchief, pocket knife, and in changing weather conditions, an umbrella, hat and overcoat. These days should the cell phone be added to this list? What else should a polite man carry?

Gentle Reader,
If he would just carry the handkerchief, Miss Manners would be satisfied. The cigarette lighter is unnecessary, the pocket knife will be confiscated by some security officer, the cell phone will cause trouble if it is not put on vibrate, the hat requires him to remember when to remove it, and we presume he checks the weather report and dresses accordingly. But in the absence of a handkerchief, he is not a gentleman.

Brass knuckles are illegal. I used to carry an eight-ounce blackjack in my backpack at San Diego City College, but I left it at home after I found out that you can get a year's suspension for carrying something like that on campus. That's when I went to the gun store and bought my first can of pepper spray (which is legal to carry).

posted by michele1075 on Jun 30, 2008 at 10:23 PM

Yep, they are illegal if caught with them.

Inhaler, chapstik, ATM card, cell phone, wedding ring, and the locket containing Jordan's photo and a lock of his hair. Not necessarily in that order.

Loop hole.........

In most countries, the possession, let alone use, of brass knuckles is illegal. Recently, brass knuckles have been sold on the Internet and in regular shops as novelties, although whether or not they are used as novelties is open to debate.

Brass knuckles can normally be purchased at flea markets, swap meets, and some sword and weapon shops. Due to a shady reputation they are often sold as paperweights or affixed with a detachable screw allowing them to be sold as a belt buckle.

Ah, Lana, you're an old timer of Oildale, aren't ya?!?! Woody's Liquor on N. Chester... 7-11, I assume at N. Chester and Roberts. Have you driven down Woodrow, Wilson, or Lincoln lately? Beware of tire iron swinging dope heads!

posted by Shwaine on Jun 30, 2008 at 11:05 PM

Let's see... I always leave home with my wallet, sunglasses, cell phone, sports bottle of water, keys, pens and a tape measure. I know, that's seven items, but the tape measure is just so handy to have. You never realize how many times you need to measure something until you're out with no tape measure.

posted by motopoet on Jun 30, 2008 at 11:45 PM

Cell phone(turned to "vibrate"), breath mints or spray, hand sanitizer(after she visits the ladies room or some other yukkie place), tissue, Credit card, cash.

As for the original six...

Cigarette Lighter...I don't date smokers.

Small Flashlight....The Cell phone will do fine in a pinch.

Handkerchief....Tissue is disposable and Handkerchiefs are gross after one use

Umbrellas are passe....Most women find walking, dancing and/or kissing in the rain romantic. As far as a hat and a coat..what good is that to her? She will have a coat that fits her and hats are rarely worn these days, except for ballcaps, which should NEVER be worn on a real date, unless it's to Super Tom's in the Dale.

 Bakonative: "Tire iron swinging dope heads"? Haven't seen one of those yet. But yep not proud to say, I've lived in the dale 20 yrs! to long.

All in my purse: Cell, pepper spray, wallet, book, bottle of water.... At my side is number six: hubbie.

Bakonative: I teach in Oildale -  I have a *very* clear visual!! You should see some of the parents, esp during Parent Teacher Conference. Hilarious stuff!!

  When I go to open house with my daughter, I feel sorry for some of the kids, The parents are pathetic! I seen one dad, didn't even bother to wear shoes!

  •  glasses
  • glass of ice water
  • wallet
  • list
  • sunglasses
  • keys
  • cellphone

Sorry for the seventh item but every one of these things is equally important  when I go out the door.
