What happened to these things? They were huge a couple years ago and now I rarely see anyone wearing them.

Back when they were popular, I had wanted to market black "DIESOON" wristbands. Not as a pro-cancer thing, but as an anti-life thing. There's too many men - too many people - making too many problems, and there's not much left to go around...

Can't you see this is a land of confusion!?

I actually think that's a good idea. I'd wear one of those.

On a serious note, I don't think I actually ever saw anyone wearing one. I've seen them, oh yes, just like all the different ribbon riddled SUVs driving around. But I never saw anyone with one on. Laughing

I bought a bunch back in 06 because my roommate in the Marines mom had brain cancer. A lot of us wore them and I still wear mine occasionally.

Unless you're willing to tattoo or carve it in to your flesh you don't believe strongly enough in it to be proclaiming your support for whatever it may be. This Is A Joke

Stephen Colbert and I just happened to break our wrists within a week of each other (him due to a fall, me due to an evil, Satan possessed ram charging me.) Needless to say, I immediately bought the 'WristStrong' bracelet he was selling and became an advocate for those poor, forgotten souls among us with useless arms for 6-10 weeks.

Frankly, that was the best thing to come out of the whole ridiculous fad if you ask me.

I had to laugh at this... A satan possessed ram... I'm sorry sis, but I can't even say it with out laughing.

I never had gotten into a livestrong braclet thing. Instead I got a water Purifer from PUR last year and it came with a PUR braclet...

Where the Hell did you go that there were rams, let alone rams possessed by Satan?

Posted: Nov 19 2009 04:59 pm

im sure she's talking about a Dodge Ram

I wish for a fad of "Herp-on" braclets. And by "fad" I mean "federal law."

Basically, anyone with Herpies has to wear a tell-tale braclet. You really wanna stop the spread of a disease? There you go.

Posted: Nov 19 2009 06:12 pm

Yeah, that's kind of mean...anyone could see it . Perhaps a tattoo in their private region.

Posted: Nov 19 2009 06:56 pm

I think the herpes themselves are enough of a sign down there. Tattoo not necessary.

Just make them wear a Star of David.

I've got a few somewhere around, but I've got a custom one that was handed out at my uncle's funeral.

well, if you are going to go down on a girl, get a slice of lime, and squeeze, any open sores and she will respond.

obviously, do it when she isnt looking.

I worked as a ranch hand for several years. I worked with the horses mostly--breaking them, training them, caring for them and the like, but I pitched in at our stock farm on occasion too. Ironic that in all the falls I've taken off horses and all the close calls I've had with them, its a stupid ram that kicked my ass.

There's also an even better story about a very big and extremely horny goat that decided it wanted to prove itself dominant over me one day, but that's probably better left alone for now...maybe I'll do a post about these in the "piss you off" thread, because the memories still really, really still piss me off lol.

Don't you guys pay attention during those herpies medication commercials? You can still spread herpies without any visible signs of an outbreak. Those commercials aren't just about rock-climbing and mountain-biking, ya know.

I got it. Though I'm more of an "Invisible Touch" guy.
