Location: Where we still run to look when the siren goes by. | HotbearLVR - 2013-12-31 10:06 AM I'm a little crazy and different, but when I am freezing my ass off, it isn't my neck that gets cold. I hate wearing jewelry (watches, rings, chains, etc...). I even hate wearing gloves because I like feeling what I'm touching. I would never wear a scarf. If it's a fashion thing, I wouldn't wear it either. I hate things around my neck, probably because I have a 17 inch neck. I hate ties and shirts with tight collars. If I wore a scarf, it would make my neck look even larger than it is, so I would look like Jabba The Hut.
My neck is 11 inches around |

Location: Lost with the rest of the MINIONS! | Methinks it doesn't get cold enough in LA to warrant a wild rag? My hubby won't go outside without one from Oct-May; this includes chores or trips to town. (But they are in no way fluffy, fancy, or girly.) He has everyday ones and nicer ones for occasions. I have started to borrow them myself during the cold months.  |

"Up here" straight west of you a couple hours they are called rags. I'm going to get you a pink paisley rag to tie around your 17" neck.  |

lol....so true, calling a silk scarf a wild rag is not doing it for me lol.....I'm going to go ahead and file silk scarves in the same category as fanny packs and banana hammocks, neither of which will get my ovaries to come out and play lol. |

...and everyone will be commenting on his silk scarf....."my what a lovely silk scarf" and "the colors really bring out your eyes." "Where did you get that quality silk scarf?"
Meanwhile, I'm standing there in my $299 brown leather, knee high boots getting ignored.........no way! lol |

Over here, we use "rags" to mop up dog poop on the floor. Girls often call a tampon a "rag".
If someone is wearing an ugly garment, it's sometimes called a "rag". A bad newspaper, such as the Minneapolis Tribune is uniformly referred to as a "rag". Even a bad baseball team is referred to as "rag" tag. I don't want any of these things on my neck. I can see men from Texas needing something to keep their pencil necks warm....after all, it does get bitter cold down there, especially if you are a sissy. On the rare occasion a Texan winds up here in the winter, they usually need lots of kleenex to go along with their cute rags because the cold makes them cry. |

That's like that scene from Night at the Museum 2 where Napoleon, Ivan the Terrible and the gangster are asking the Hank Azaria character about his dress and he's saying, "it's not a dress, it's a tunic." They can't quite get over that and finally he says, "are there any more questions not about my dress?" Then they lower their hands.....no more questions lol....

Seriously though, I can see where they could come in handy. You can use your rag to wipe snot, sweat, and even your butt, in a pinch.
I stand corrected....I am going to get some of those rags. I see some practical usefulness here. This is a good thread. |

Scott you need to bring your cold blooded self down here to Texas and we'll watch your sweet self wilt and melt when it's 95 degrees. When it hits 100 you'll just be a puddle of sugar.  |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | The cowboys that I knew back in the good old days used their wild rags as a tool while working cattle in the dry dusty pens where the dust was so thick you could not see or take a clean breath, they used them to cover their faces so they would not be sucking in all the dust. So there was a reason for the rags for most, not to look pretty like you see that puck punk Justin Biv. cant spell his last name and dont care too. |
