In the last half hour I have said to my cat " you are a cat" I am somewhat easily influenced by the media and cat conjunction. So far I have not said " you are a Matt" to my DH , but it could happen
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a good California-legal pocket knife? The one I want seems to be out of stock, and the ones I have aren't carry legal. But I want something with a bigger blade than the one on my keychain.
That having been said, how do guys not carry bags? Where is your stuff? Do you have a TARDIS in your pants? I mean, most of my stuff is gender-neutral--is my urge to carry it (or my willingness) a chick thing? I...just, if I had to start putting that stuff in my pockets I'd feel uncomfortable, be noisy, and never want to sit down in case I broke something.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Do you have a TARDIS in your pants?
If this is true, I really ought date more.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am exhausted and just got home. On the plus side, I have a new car. A 2012 Focus hatchback. Lots o' options. My new car and my phone are apparently best friends now, as they do stuff together with Bluetooth. Tomorrow I'll plug an iPod into one of the USB ports and use voice control to play stuff.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I seem to recall that L.A. is more restrictive than California in general, but I don't remember the details. What are the legal limits of what you are looking for in a folding knife?

I'll have to take some tomorrow. In the meantime, you can see pictures here: [link] Mine's metallic blue.

Basically, it needs to be 3" or shorter for LA, and click shut. No fast opening like switchblades or butterfly knives. It should tend to stay close, and not have a completely spring opening mechanism.
Basically, if it's under 3" and clicks shut and doesn't spring all the way open, I think I'm good.

Congrats, tommyrot!!
ita, I think part of it is guys wear looser pants usually, so they can fit more stuff in their pockets than women can. I don't know what tight-pants'd hipsters do. And then they carry messenger bags.

Where is your stuff?
My inventory is:
Left front pocket: Leatherman Squirt, wooden fidget piece, glasses cleaner packet, keys with button flash
Right front pocket: coins
Right rear pocket: bandana, comb, chapstick
Left rear pocket: wallet
My phone clips to my belt, my sunglasses go in my shirt pocket when I'm not wearing them, and my camera can go in my right front pocket when needed.
What do you carry?
