Pickles by Brian Crane for September 11, 2021

I dunno. I wear one when we go out hiking. It’s nice to have binocs, water, mosquito repellent, some snacks. Of course I don’t wear it around the house, and not usually around the neighborhood.

I probably do look ridiculous but I wear one when I go geocaching in the mountains. I need somewhere to put the water, GPSr, poison oak medicine, snack, toilet paper, and first aid kit.

I like to wear a fanny pack but I’ve usually worn it in front. Very convenient for keeping your keys, sunglasses, wallet, etc handy.

Having had a purse stolen, I use a fanny pack when I go to a doctor’s office to carry my Medicare ID…

Just don’t call it that if you come to England. Here, the word “fanny” is a euphemism for the female front.

In the UK we call it a bum bag and not particulary in vogue.

In Texas you might find concealed firearms in a fanny pack, amongst other things.

Where else is an old man supposed to keep his fanny.

Hopefully Opal realizes that much of the credit … blame … for this one goes to herself.

It’s a better look than the Man Bun!!

A fanny pack saved my grandpa’s life, he landed on it when he fell down.

Cheeky!

The best substitute was cargo pants. Leg pouches hold lots of helpful stuff.

You just can’t win sometimes.

Auditioning for a part in the Hunchback of Notre Dame?

Lmao! Funniest ever!

Earl what do you have in there ?

Ever seen a picture of a woman wearing a bustle?

I’m more worried about Earl forgetting and sitting said fanny pack!

What is wrong with taking the precious Roscoe for walk ?

Of course, an option is cargo pants, then his nick name can be “Pockets”.

I wish the characters in my games carried fanny/back packs. . .then I wouldn’t have to spend so much time looking for a stick or a knife every few scenes. . .wonder if a game developer or two COULD develop a game where ya didn’t need a hundred keys—and just had one tool—a Swiss army knife, say . . .anyway, Opal, KNOCK IT OF! At least you don’t have to carry all Earl’s paraphernalia in your purse!

As Rodney Dangerfield would say. “Oh, but it looks good on you”.

I wonder what she thinks of cargo shorts

Cargo pants have too many pockets to check before laundry. Sooner or later you will wash your electronic car keys.

Er……….I’m replying for a friend.

What’s wrong with a nice Haversack?

He’s going to wear it one way or a tother!

Wear it around the front Earl.. under your shirt and people will think you a real stud.

Opal would have NOTHING to do if Earl didn’t give her things to complain about. And she’s SO good at complaining! Earl’s just inspiring Opal to elevate her natural talent to Olympic levels.

Once again, my first laugh out loud moment of the morning.

I carry my Glock 19 in my fanny pack. When you live as close to Memfrica as I do, it’s wise to have personal protection equipment at the ready. It’s true that when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

Not big enough for my jug of tea. I use a backpack.

Honest to god if I was married to a woman as insulting as Opal I’d leave her! Earl should remind her she wears childish bunny slippers.

Here’s my response… I’m 70, does it look like I care what others think!

Yeah, Earl, lose the dork-pack. You’ll be needing a colostomy bag before too long anyway.

What looks worse is a teen with their pants hanging down past their ass, with their underwear sticking out!!

Get a Beret, Earl.

I believe the Scots invented the bum bag (sporran anyone?)

Quit you gripping, Opal. If he is comfortable with it, leave him be.

Be great wearing that at a state fair or garage sales, less chance of pick pocket theft. Though I wear mine up front or the side.

A person Earl’s age has learned to not care what people think. Do what suits you and everyone else doesn’t matter.

Some people’s fannies look like that… without a pack.

OMG – What an ass..!!!!

He just loves getting to her, doesn’t he!

Earl’s got some junk in the trunk!

Even when they were in fashion, they weren’t.

Now he looks like a Kartrashian.

For those who question wearing the fanny pack in back, check what body part the Brits refer to as the fanny.

Shake your booty Earl.

Earl needs to bustle out of there.
