thanks. I googled it for more info.
I've been known to wear a 21k gold pinkie ring, known as the "pawn ring"....
I agree. No self-respecting man would wear a cheap plastic trinket. (See: Banding Together)
Even President George Bush and Sen. John Kerry wore them on the campaign trail. In fact, Kerry's wrist was living strong on the night he gave his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention.
OK, you've got me. explain, please... .
Not exactly a metrosexual, is he?
I wore a neck chain for several years - it had my dog tags on it.
I habitually wear my wedding ring, a college ring and a wristwatch. Personally, I can not stomach a "man" wearing earrings or anyone with those bizarre body piercings - eyebrows, nose, tongue, whatever.
Ankh-Morpork is the City State that plays a central role in most all of Terry Pratchett's Diskworld series. The Ankh is also the river that runs between the two halves of Ankh-Morpork - although, the way Pratchett describes it, the Ankh doesn't really run, it kind of slinks along, hoping no one will notice it.
"Not exactly a metrosexual, is he?"
Not even close. His bracelets were for a POW and a yard bracelet presented to him by a Montagnard military unit as a sign of friendship.
Not jewelry in my book.
Wedding ring and a rubber watch.
ummmm, ok. thanks for that info.
In recent years I've noticed how many baseball players wear those garish gold chains around their neck. I imagine them getting drunk after the ballgame, watching some late-night infomercial, and saying, "Hey, I want one of those." And nobody has the sense to say, "Uh, why don't you wait till tomorrow and see if you still want it. They're not going to sell them all tonight."
Ray, God bless his soul, had a great personality and made the event so much fun for the Packer fans there. Bart Starr, in comparison, was a complete crank.
The only jewelry my hubby wears is a wedding band and his watch which is an ironman timex. He would prefer to lose the ring and just a tatoo one around his finger, which would be his only tatoo. I don't think he even knows he has his ring on anymore though.
Yeah, I don't like piercings on men either. Never ever. I only like the standard ear piercings on women (not multiple ones).
He gave you his Super Bowl ring, or just took it off and let you look at it? Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode about the astronaut's pen.
Necklaces (as well as pony-tail/long hair) make convenient handles in a fight.
You gotta be crazy to wear necklaces, rings, and even watchbands if working with machinery or when doing ranchwork...
Crew-cut, pocket-watch, wedding ring when not working...
When my oldest son turned 12 he asked me if he could get an ear ring. I told him that only pirates, little girls, and homos wear ear rings, and I didn't see a parrot on his shoulder. There were no further dicussions about ear rings. He is now 21 and has never piercied his ear!!
I work in an office, so I think I am pretty safe to wear my rings to work. I do take them and my watch off if I am doing any work where they may get damaged or get caught on anything.
A U.S.Army-issue dog tag chain is a stainless steel bead chain that you can break with one finger if you have to. I carried my tags in my back pocket if there was any danger of them catching on someting anyway.
There was another Packer (quarterback) from the past who was also very kind to my nephew but I can't for the life of me think of his name... Brett Favre was another, he was on crutches at that time. Yet Bart Starr was just a jerk. (Obviously, it irritates me. But I saw how it affected my nephew and it still p!sses me off to this day.)
