    I don't think that being gay makes one bad, shameful, or less manly.... but given the attitude of so many of the older generation of truckers that want to piss all over the younger guys, I'm sure that 99% of them would not want somebody to think that they were gay. Sorry for offending you.

    But let me put it another way: These old baby boomer truck drivers out here talking about how the younger drivers dress sound like a bunch of gossiping women at a luncheon. Unless somebody is wearing something completely outrageous (for example dressing up in something that Lady GaGa would wear on stage) I really don't understand why anybody cares. You know when I care? When I see a woman wearing something that I like and looking nice...and even then I keep my thoughts to myself.

    Oops! It's ok buddy... you made a mistake that all. I won't count it against you. I can't speak for anyone else but your still my guy.

    Just remember... no one said anything about younger guys -- ok?

    Just keep age out of it or others might start to get bored with you.

    Nobody said anything specifically about younger guys, but I bet you'd be hard pressed to find any of these crotchety old baby boomers out here wearing basketball shorts and flip flops.

    Just wait til y'all see me rockin' a kilt at your local TA. I'm sure TTR and 19 will be on fire with chatter.
     
    Omega1 and 2old Thank this.

    For the love of God, don't wear flip flops with a kilt. (love a man with cojones enough to rock a real kilt)

    Oh darn! I didn't have to go far to find it. Second post up.

    You wrote: "But let me put it another way: These old baby boomer truck drivers out here talking about how the younger drivers dress sound like a bunch of gossiping women at a luncheon"

    You see? There it is... now listen for a second. Maybe you should go back and read what has been said. Then you won't be making so many mistakes and people will pay more attention to you.

    Ok buddy... you'll be fine!

    Are you still talking? I'm not talking about what *I* said. I'm talking about what everybody else said.

    I might have to do it now just to troll people.
     
    Swiss Mountain Dog and 2old Thank this.

    This is the bag I use, I also have a toiletry bag to match. The duffle also has my name custom embroidered on it by the company in the color of my choice. It is a little expensive once you include the shipping from Austraila, but it is well worth it. Very well built and best customer service I have every received from ANY company I've ordered from. An executive with the compay personally emailed me several times to let me know how my order was progressing.

    I don’t think anyone over the age of 8 should wear a backpack unless they’re camping in the woods in a tent.
