Do you have a TARDIS in your pants?
If this is true, I really ought date more.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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?

My favorite knife store is A.G. Russell. If you are looking for CRKT specifically, try: [link]
For locking folders: [link]
I'm left-handed, so I dislike liner-locks. I bought these folders just for the novel designs: [link] [link] [link]
But for everyday casual use, my default is: [link]

I carry:
- Money clip
- loose change
- phone
- iPod
- Nook
- clunky keyring (has knife and decryption thingy)
- pen
- pencil
- eraser
- painkillers, two types
- extra credit cards and loyalty cards
- coupons
- Flash drive
- often sketchbook
- chequebook
- matches
- security pass
- pouch of coffee to ban smells
- lipstick
- vaseline
- hand lotion
- nail file
Nothing's girly but the last 4 and maybe the coupons and painkillers. Still, the rest ain't fitting in no pocket.
