I'd rather have an Indy comment than a Freddy Krueger comment...

I get irked by the cowboy comments, though.
Wearing Open Road style hats & boots almost exclusively, I get "where's your horse?" quite regularly & expectedly. I usually have a western style belt on too. I do get the frequent "where's your whip?" too. Some folks just have to say something regardless of how it makes them sound... [huh]fenris said:...I get irked by the cowboy comments, though.
That's one of the soundest philosophies on life I've heard. :eusa_clapMav said:Being that I was raised to understand that most people are morons, I don't worry about it too much
I get that from a couple of family members. I tell them I primarily want the sun protection, but they still think it's affected. For their peace of mind, I hope they get used to it.Not-Bogart13 said:I'm being compared to somebody who wears Spock ears to go grocery shopping. :rage:
Mav said:I've gotten the Indie comment a few times, but, more often, it's Elliot Ness (might be because I hang out with somewhat older dudes.)
Being that I was raised to understand that most people are morons, I don't worry about it too much, unless I've had an exceptionally bad day, in which case my usual response is "**** off."
Which might be why I don't have that many close friends.

lol lol here Tom, take a listen.Tango Yankee said:You know, I've seen the movies a few times, but I don't think I'd recognize the theme song if it was whistled or hummed within my hearing. [huh] For the life of me I just can't think of what it sounds like.
The theme to Star Trek, yes, Star Wars, yes, Combat!, yes, Indiana Jones, no.
Cheers,
Tom

Man I had that tune stuck in my head for a week!...wanna hear it? lolTango Yankee said:Oh, yeah! Now I remember... and now I'm gonna have that them spinning 'round and 'round in my head all night! :eusa_doh:
Thanks, Aureliano!

Splitcoil said:2) I don't wear costumes. I'm not a devoted vintage dresser. Mostly I just like hats, and while I'll pay some attention to wearing clothes that don't radically clash with the hats (no Gore-Tex parka with an Art Fawcett hat for instance), I intentionally avoid anything that might look like a vintage costume. The Indy comment suggests the commentator sees you as wearing a costume. Again, leads to recognition of yet another moron in a world already overflowing with them.
I'm well aware, and I know this is an old topic. I agree that 99% of even very devoted vintage dressers are not in costume. But for every 99 guys in tasteful vintage outfits, there's always at least one guy wearing the Indiana Jones boots with the Indiana Jones pants and the Indiana Jones belt and the Indiana Jones shirt, jacket, bag, and hat, with the bullwhip under the bed at home.Tiller said:Those of us who wear vintage clothing aren't wearing "costumes" either. No more then anyone else who wears clothing is in costume. It's how we dress.
Widebrim said:So an athletic t-shirt is a.k.a. as an Italian dinner shirt, huh? It's apparent that certain negative stereotypes perpetuated by the "media" not only become believed, but socially accepted as well...dependent upon what group the stereotype refers to, of course...
