okay, honest opinions....

[Qdrop]

So i was watching that show House last week (great show...love it)...and the main dude, Dr. House, was wearing a nice leather jacket in one scene...a biker jacket. nothing insane...straight black leather with red stripes around the arms...

similar example: http://www.biker-leather.com/graphics/leather_MJ779_4.jpg

i dig it man....i want that jacket. i dig the look.
problem: i don't ride motorcycles. i hate motor cycles for safety reasons (my father lost his leg, etc)...

but i like the jacket.
so is it completely impossible to wear that jacket without being a complete poser?
again, i do not want to make some fake impression that i do ride bikes...i don't want one of those super colorful neon jackets or any of that shit...
just a leather jacket with the stripes...
is this an impossible dream?

[Mot]

if your worried about being a poser... it's too late

[Qdrop]

i'm sorry, i forgot the standard disclaimer...

all of the redundant "Qdrop Haters" feel free to eat a dick up...and ignore this thread...

i couldn't give a fuck what the haters think...

[ms.peachy]

I'm not sure why you'd care whether other people think you are a 'poser' or not, seeing as how you're not, like, in high school anymore. if you like it and you want it and you can afford it, have it. It's a practical item you will use. It's not like putting a rack on top of your car and driving around with skis on it when you don't ski or something.

[Mot]

I'm just sayin'... don't worry if people think this or that.
It's a cool jacket if you like it, wear it.

[mickill]

You don't have to have a motorcycle to wear that jacket, you fruity bastard.

yeah, i just don't want someone to come up to me and ask "so where's you bike dude? what kinda bike to you ride?"
and then i'll be like..."umm..i don't ride....it's just a leather jacket...that's all".

[miss_bhaven]

If you like it dude, wear it! (y) I don't see anything wrong with it :)

[Qdrop]

so apparently i am putting alot more thought into the possible "poser effect" than the people who would see me in it, huh?

[Rock]

If you like it...buy it. Why do you care what people think of you?
Think of all the people that wear DC shoes that don't bike or skate. Or all the people sporting basketball shoes that don't play. I just don't understand why people care about stuff like that.

[beastiegirrl101]

Q-
1. I love House as well...great show, good taste
2. The jacket is hot....get it. If you love it and are confident you can pull it off.

i actually have some skater clothes and hats and i don't skate...but that's cause a local skate shop used to sponsor me when i Djed...and i used to play at thier skate shows and shit...so they gave me tons of free shit.
and i wear those shirts and hats without giving a fuck.
i guess you're right....

[miss_bhaven]

Yeah, I wear a shitload of surf brands (well, that's all I wear) and I don't surf or go to the beach all that often? :p I don't care!

[Rock]

i actually have some skater clothes and hats and i don't skate.
fuckin poser.

[Documad]

That sort of jacket doesn't scream biker poser to me at all! In fact, it doesn't really say biker to me at all.

Beware that there is a modified version of that jacket for women (without the stripe). I don't know if this is true all over the US or just in the Minneapolis area, but it is THE uniform for suburban housewives out for a night on the town. ;)

There is no equivalent for men, so you're safe if you should travel to Minneapolis.

P.S. I have loved Hugh Laurie forever.

[Qdrop]

fuckin poser.

*hangs head*

i used to skate

[instigator7022]

Super Duper. Wear it!

[bigblu89]

Honestly, if you have to ask someone if you should or shouldn't buy something based off not wanting to look like a "poseur", then you have bigger problems than potentially looking like a poseur.

Wear whatever you want. If you think you look good in it, that's all that matters.

P.S. Did you get the Helmet?

[instigator7022]

Today I'm wearing a leopard print zip-up sweatshirt. I like it.

[Echewta]

You aren't even a leopord you poser.

[instigator7022]

You aren't even a leopord you poser.
yeah pretty much

[Qdrop]

Honestly, if you have to ask someone if you should or shouldn't buy something based off not wanting to look like a "poseur", then you have bigger problems than potentially looking like a poseur. well, it's just i personally hate posers....
i don't really want to be a hypocrit.

and let's be honest, people...WE ALL CARE what others think about us. that's human nature. the biggest bullshit mantra that this generation loves to spout is "i don't care what others think..."
bull fuckin shit.

you know what they call people who TRULY don't care what others think about them?....clinically insane.

P.S. Did you get the Helmet?

fuck yeah, dude. i already got a glass case for it.
and just got a FrankWycheck signed/framed pic....a football signed by Warren Moon, and another signed by Jeff Fisher.

THANKS!

[mickill]

I think that jacket would go well with some low rise jeans.

[instigator7022]

and ass cleavage

[Echewta]

if you buy it Q, please dont stand like that squarepants in the picture. Thanks.

[Qdrop]

women's cut?

[Qdrop]

dude, that was the whole point.


thanks for smashing my dream, chewy.

[Echewta]

I'm a dream smasher.

[kleptomaniac]

the horizontal stripes would make you look wider

[roosta]

its gayer than boy george in a pink rubber catsuit fellating elton john

[Nuzzolese]

Reconciling your likes and dislikes with the reality of your existence is so complicated. And if what you like doesn't constantly directly represent what you are in an easily recognizable way by the public, it has so much bearing on your social standing. Liking shit is fucking EXAUSTING!! That's why people get so into hating everything...it's gravy.

[beastiegirrl101]

I think that jacket would go well with some low rise jeans.

and red boots.

[fucktopgirl]

haha that jacket is for george micheal,,,but if you like it go ahead and for the bike,,can you afford a scooter?i am shure you will make head turn!!Killer duo!

nicely written.

mm hmm yea, one thing is caring about what other people think about you and another thing is caring what other people think about you

[Qdrop]

are you drunk again?

[zippo]

are you drunk again?


friggin mango, so you chose to stop off at the nearest exit huh

[Hiebz]

I don't know about biker, but I immediately thought of David Hasselhof and the knight rider when i saw the posted samople. So I suppose it's all cool because you do in fact drive a car that talks, don't you?


don't you?

[Qdrop]

I don't know about biker, but I immediately thought of David Hasselhof and the knight rider that's all you needed to say.

i am soooo getting one now...

[Qdrop]

friggin mango, so you chose to stop off at the nearest exit huh

your comment was predictibly trite and generic.
drunk people often engage in such conversation...i was just asking...

[ASsman]

Will you be shirtless underneath....

[Qdrop]

Will you be shirtless underneath....

only if it reminds you of David Hasselhof...

[ASsman]

Hmm, gives a new meaning to kNight rider. Don't it.

[hpdrifter]

I think its a natural reaction to think twice about buying something that represents a culture or activity that you don't engage in. I'm usually too pussy to just wear what I want.

Do it for me, Qdrop. Do it for all of us!

[ASsman]

Or get this one...

http://www.drjays.com/shop/G2-V13637-R340-P50010/leather/le_top_gun_leather_aviator.html

I wanted it, but I did not know what I could wear with it.

[zippo]

your comment was predictibly trite and generic.


trite, generic, perfectly fitting for this thread, something like "everybody cares what others think about them" could be, i dont know qdrop, dont quote me on that one

[Qdrop]

so you've regressed to "i know you are, but what am I" mentality?

oh, this is stimulating conversation.

[ToucanSpam]

House is a fantastic show.


I thought the jacket was cool too.

[zippo]

so you've regressed to "i know you are, but what am I" mentality?

oh, this is stimulating conversation.

oh yes, stimulating conversation, its a conversation about a STRIPED JACKET

wait wait wait, youre gonna tell me your "everyone cares about what others think" comment wasnt generic? once again, one thing is caring about what others think about you and and another thing is caring about what others think about you

ok go, go take your nearest exit outlet

[Nuzzolese]

What if you got it in a weathered brown with dark dark red stripes? I think it might look better that way.

[Qdrop]

oh yes, stimulating conversation, its a conversation about a STRIPED JACKET more so then watching you trip over your keyboard in a pathetic attempt to attack me...AGAIN.
you're like the drunk person at the party who, after getting really shitfaced, decides they're gonna teach somebody a lesson...but they just end up tripping on thier own feet and vomiting in the aquarium.

wait wait wait, youre gonna tell me your "everyone cares about what others think" comment wasnt generic? once again, one thing is caring about what others think about you and and another thing is caring about what others think about you
i'm even going to ask you to further your "point"...

why don't you go pester your maid, rich girl.
she gets paid to listen to you...

[Qdrop]

What if you got it in a weathered brown with dark dark red stripes? I think it might look better that way.

sure...
i'm not getting THAT jacket...
that was just an example of the style i dig.

[hpdrifter]

What if you got it in a weathered brown with dark dark red stripes? I think it might look better that way.

I picture those colors more on one of those jersey hipster jackets that skinny guys in tight jeans wear.

[TurdBerglar]

if i saw you in that jacket, i'd ask you what kind of bike you rode and so wouldn't a lot of people who actually knew what motorcycle jackets looked like. it is a nice jacket. i like it myself but i don't think i'd where it for the simple fact that i don't own a motorcycle. but i think you'd be able to get away with it most of the time. just not around cycle jocks.

[mickill]

zippo's funny. And those little quips were clever. Don't be a sore loser, Q. You can't win all your battles.

so, if i get corned by a bunch of cycle jocks in a bar, asking me about my "bike"...i should just make shit up?

[ASsman]

I'm sure not everyone has flown a bomber that wears a bomber jacket.... or has flown a plane and wears aviators... I know I sure don't/didn't.

[Qdrop]

Zippo's funny. And those little qupis were clever. Don't be a sore loser, Q. You can't win all your battles.

mike, don't feed the monkeys.
they'll think they're people.

but please, prey tell...what clever little quips piqued your interest?

was it her charming differentiation of caring and caring...or perhaps her brilliant "exit ramp" analogy used to remark on deflecting?
what was it, mike...i just have to know...cause i care

[zippo]

more so then watching you trip over your keyboard in a pathetic attempt to attack me...AGAIN.

every time someone proves you wrong you go all nuts dont you

*kissed qdrop on the forehead and puts his trembling body to bed*

my maid just made me some spaghetti and meatballs, im so outta here

[TurdBerglar]

so, if i get corned by a bunch of cycle jocks in a bar, asking me about my "bike"...i should just make shit up?



if you get corned by anybody you won't have to make any shit. it should happen automatically

[Qdrop]

every time someone proves you wrong you go all nuts dont you

"prove me wrong"...about...what?


does it hurt your arm when you pat yourself on the back?
can't you just get your maid to do it for you?

[TurdBerglar]

not on sundays she can't

[Qdrop]

if you get corned by anybody you won't have to make any shit. it should happen automatically

good point.

stupid bowels.

[Qdrop]

not on sundays she can't

hmph...fuckin lazy working-class poor.
