OHMYGOD I just googled the bags to see every color they come in and saw this:

Sometimes your pastor is a wino, and he has two.

As a middle-aged white woman, I found this article both fascinating and very cool. I now have an overwhelming urge to go out and buy a bottle of Crown Royal, mainly for the bag. My question is: If I do, would that be considered cultural appropriation, and could I please get a pass?

Definitely the band. lol

I keep my scrabble tiles in one, just like my parents and grandparents.

Marbles in my Crown bag. Somewhere in my parent’s basement.

Well you’ve inspired me — I need to start using a bindle like my Appalachian forebears.

Do dozens of funny shaped dice used to kills elves and dragons count as valuables...because, I, uh, know someone who still carries one...

I knew a (white) gamer who kept his dice in a purple Crown Royal bag. He’s under 40, but don’t think that’s the reassurance you’re looking for.

I have a purple one full of dominoes... because Blackness.

Hmm...? A steely dan is a dildo. Steely Dan is my all-time favorite band. In which context was this reference?

My science teacher threw a desk at a group of students who wouldn’t stop talking.

just further proof that our legislators have no interest in serving the people. the people have said it is stupid to arm teachers, the people have said we want common sense gun control, and the politicians have said “fuck you, what does smith and wesson want?”

i woke up to this, this morning. im a floridian, and im super pissed that this is even happening. i hate the nra. i hate republicans. i hate conservatives. i hate christians. all of these people have effectively ruined this country; and now they’re wanting to arm people that barely make any money to protect kids in an

Gun laws have always been about race. I grew up around guns, my family are all gun nuts. They are ostensibly hoarding them to protect themselves from crime. My father has a gun hidden in every room of his house so he can get to them :just in case”. The criminal in question is always tacitly agreed to be black. Gun

“Florida lawmakers struck down a ban on assault rifles and approved an amendment allowing educators to carry firearms in school.”
