ROY X CONE contest, 1.1.11 - 2.1.12

[mikecch]

its a belt!

I think I've all the belts I need before 2015, no more belts, no more belts, no more belts...

I'm really curious as to what it is...3 more hours until I can pick it up- can't wait

[rnrswitch]

I think TG and rnr are dirty liars.

Hey, that's a very rude way of saying we are full of shit.

[Paul T]

mine too, just from the little back and forth we've had with roy I am thinking they'll be arriving quite a bit closer to Christmas.

I can't believe people are even falling for this!

Altho I wouldn't say dirty liars, I'd say purveyors of cheap irony.

[dkatz]

Which are you gonna get?

Don't even try to request, it's been predetermined (by the lovely embroidery ladies at the vocational training school...)

[ranonranonarat]

wow nice! i hope i get the manly looking one!

[beatle]

so floral print for you !

[ranonranonarat]

so floral print for you !

no no, he customed one for me that said "winner". i shall be flying that bandana high in my backpocket, tall and proud.

I guess I am confused.

Is there something I am unaware of as far as to the ETA of ROYxCONE?

[Dr_Heech]

Hold on a minute - do we have to wear bandana's?

It's not mandatory surely?

I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing one of those hanging out of my back pocket, and I sure ain't gonna wear it on my head !

(a handkerchief perhaps...)

[Dr_Heech]

Hahahaha ....... Not convinced !

Just repped you so you'll have to wait another six months.

Do you know when our.. (ahem..) ssshh ... roy's will arrive?

[Joseph Hill]

Wear it hanging out your back pocket, tie it on your head like a babushka, around your neck, folded in your blazer chest pocket, tie it just below your left knee (like we did in elementary school in the eighties for some reason), put yer arm in a sling, double up yer chambray skivvies with a boldly printed loin cloth, stitch it to the back of yer denim jacket punk style, emphasize the crotchal area of the requisite ROYs. Dr H, the bandana IS mandatory. Your method is of course optional.

I know Steve Jones was the technical heart of that band, but sometimes it looks like he accidentally stepped into the picture (or in the case of the video above, he thought the band was headlining a pirate-themed dinner cruise).

Goddamnit, get the prop assistant out of the photo!

[mikecch]

Hey, I just got a delivery card in my mail box!!!

Parcel from the US, wonder what it is....

(not joking)

The package was from Oakview CA, not Oakland CA.

No Roy's, false alarm

[fardin]

how big are the bandanas anymway? i want it around my neck, presto , i want one of the brown or the green one.

great video paul, they always remind me of greil marucs book lipstick traces, one of my all time favorites

[Medine]

mmmmm, those bandanas look great...

I would rock any floral print that dkatz throws at me!

[robbie]

I thought wearing the bandana's as a neckerchief boyscout style was part of the contract we signed when we agreed to be a part of the contest.

[Medine]

I plan on wearing mine bandito style

just like a real gangster..

[ihatebrianwilliams]

You going to wear it raw? Feel like I would give it a good wash. Have you seen dkatz pants. PeeeeeUUuuuuu!

[Sansome1877]

I plan on wearing mine bandito style

just like a real gangster..

I was thinking the same thing.

If the bandana in pocket thing is too flashy for you, you could go with the more subtle bandana-under--hat-look:

See, It's barely noticeable.

[mikecch]

I want ducky, dkatz!!!!

Thanks for picking those up for us

[dkatz]

Hah it's fun to hear what you guys "want" and then look at what you're actually getting

(yes I'm power tripping in my own little, little way)

Fardin- they're just marginally larger than my Sugarcane bandanna, so pretty much standard bandanna size...?

I plan on wearing mine bandito style

just like a real gangster..

Please, PLEASE do! Come visit me, Farhad and rnr in SoCal and we'll take you to the LBC, Inglewood or Compton like that.

Then, when you're beaten to a nice pulp, we'll steal your jeans (which will have some pretty sweet gang-beating fades) and leave you unconscious and pantsless.

That is, until we realize you're also wearing your ROY chambray boxers....

You going to wear it raw? Feel like I would give it a good wash. Have you seen dkatz pants. PeeeeeUUuuuuu!

GOOD CALL. HAH! Actually they're pretty stiff when raw, so a couple washes might be a good idea to soften them up anyway. I thought about doing so for you guys, but decided you can do it your damn selves.

BE ADVISED, though: some of these kitenge fabrics bleed like mad!

[Medine]

Ohh I really do plan on wearing it like that. I do that when its super cold and I got a long walk so I can cover my face..

I seemed to have lost my RRL bandana so this new dkatz special will be perfect. thanks again danny boy

[ranonranonarat]

daniel, i already know what roy6 is gonna get!!

[dkatz]

^ no you don't.... look closer - there's no "6" on the end of that "ROY"

And Medine - you call me danny again and I'll wipe my ass with that bandanna before I mail it to Chi!

[not too tight]

Thought I would give you guys an idea of what kitenge looks like banditto style.

Thanks again dkatz. It was great meeting you and I know who my bet is on.

[Medine]

do you prefer dan or daniel? I just watched tommy boy last night so I was feeling the danny boy. sorry to offended you hah I dont want a poop-stained bandana

[robbie]

so a week or two ago people were talking about laundering techniques...

laundry soap hadn't been invented in 1910, I know my grandfather talked about using lye soap during the depression, he said some folks even used

'chamber lye'

i suppose if any of you guys(and gal) want authentic contest winning fades this might be an approach worth pursuing.

(paul's probably going to school me on actual 1910 denim laundering techniques now)

[ranonranonarat]

how come not too tight gets one already?!??
