Derc Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Well, I finally got one of my own after seeing that some of my friends at school wear them. So now I'm uber-cool. (j/k) So, I'm just wondering if anyone else here wears them, or has at least seen them around. They seem to be the latest fashion trend or something. From MSNBC: You've seen them just about everywhere - on Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe, and John Kerry. They're the fashion must-have: A yellow rubber wristband bearing the imprint "Livestrong." It's the creation of - and cause for - Tour de France king and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong. They each cost a buck, and all proceeds go to the Lance Armstrong Foundation for cancer research. Well, what do you think of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should've told us! hehehe Welcome to the Old Fart's Club I really need to find a better name..hehe Happy belated Birthday! As for the Livestrong armbands...?? For something to be so 'popular' by the article, I've never heard of these things nor ever seen them. Of course, living in the South is like time traveling about 5-10 years back (electricity is like magic to some people I've met ). I'm just thankful my toilet is on the inside of my house... hehehe..

Drazin Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Aw bugger! I was hoping to slip this one by. LOL you all are too much. "oooh destiny Oooh" (My family owns 80acres in Michigan, a Log Cabin built by my Grandfather and it wasn't until a few years ago that we finally installed running water! LOL.) And whats this combining a Livestrong advertisement with me being 30? hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd dip it in gold and try to worship it That or their heads would explode from seing such a "new-fangled contraption".. the South isn't really as bad as I'm portraying (though there ARE places where electricity still is scarce).. but I'd almost guarantee there would be more entertainment value found in a stretchy rubber band than the wonderful world of 1's & 0's hehehe @Drazin Man, I'm from Michigan (originally)! Lansing to be exact, but roaming grounds included Battle Creek, Southgate, Detroit (yuck), Ann Arbor.. and of course the frequent visits to Canada... small world huh? whoops.. straying off-topic, sorry folks..

Derc Posted March 27, 2005 Author Share Posted March 27, 2005 Heh. Last week a saw little girl at a restaurant have like 5(although different colors) of them on her wrists. So I guess it's more common in the younger generation. Young'uns these days... Originally posted by ChAiNz.2da Welcome to the Old Fart's Club What a group you're in now, Drazin.

stingerhs Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 i know a few people that have them, and i think i saw them at a Sphinx gas station a while back. of course, i have no idea if Sphinx gas is a national brand, but that's where i saw them during one of my many visits (*curses gas prices* ). and yes, southerners have red soil, electricity, running water, computers, the internet, and two 4x4's: an ATV that'll get stuck somewhere and a '67 Ford (or '58 Chevy) truck to haul it out. so quit calling them backwards!! and i say 'them' because i don't really classify myself as southern.... >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derc Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 "What Would Jesus Do?" Huh? WWJD Wristbands? Never heard of em. But that slogan I heard once as a news story.
