I've recently been reading up on the 'Goth Look' and came across an article
that asked "do you know what wearing a bandana around the waist
symbolises?" The problem is that it failed to give an answer! I was curious
if anybody had any idea what it meant?

W0rmW00d: It may not have been in a night club, but in high school my idiot
firends and I all decided to claim bondage ownership of each other. We had
six or seven of us, and everyone was attached to at least one other person
by a strap taken off of someone's pants. Since most of us were wearing our
gothy strappy pants that day, and our ring collars to boot, we pulled it
off without having to double up on a strap. I think Jade was in the middle
of our little web, and got to be "headmistress." Gideon, Rick, and I
always got entangled around eack other. We walked around downtown like
that for an hour or so, until Rick nearly strangled himself and Sarah
screamed that she had to take a piss, would we please let her the fuck out
of this mess now.
As for bandana's, I really only know about the gay code. I myself fly
tigers tripes, white with multi-colour polka dots, gold, light pink, grey,
robin's egg blue, paisley, and teddy bears.

Oh, man...Mono totally beat me to it.
Ok, I'm a friggin artist and I stlil doubt I could tell the difference
between "yellow", "pale yellow", and "mustard" in a dark club. Do you like
piss? Or more than 8"? Oh, I'm sorry. It's actually SAFFRON. My mistake.

ok, heres a similar game, which i intend to try at the next possible
oppertunity:
who can attach the most bondage straps from other peoples clothing to their
person in one night at a club. bonus points if you get two people
irrevocable entangled and they have to be surgically removed.
another similarly fun game which i have (to my shame) played in the past is
'bait the straight edgers' you put big felt pen crosses on your hands, go
to a straight edge venue, gig, group or whatever and proceed to smoke and
drink as much as you can before you get your head shoved through a door. i
was lucky when i played, one of my friends knew the straight edgers and
talked them down.
argh, but i could have taken them sure.

Oh so I got the flesh wound for nothing then.

I still say we have a contest. Whoever can score the most "ripped off"
bandannas stickin out of pockets gets an imaginary star on their "idiot

Doesn't look like a very practical code to someone who does not have the
eyes of an interior decorator. Since dark clubs would be the optimal place
to declare yourself on the market, why do I think a colour code might not
be the best idea?
"I almost made a pass at someone who was wearing a Navajo white hanky, but
it turns out that it was actually eggshell. Man, that was close!"
"Don't bitch to me. I went after that one with the avacodo but didn't
realise until later that it was really key-lime chiffon. Now where the
hell am I going to get champagne glasses and a cockatiel at this hour?"
So is it a good idea or a bad idea for me to yank the next one I see, run
across the mall, throw it down and do a ridiculous dance while thanking
jesus and making plans for disneyland?

I think they mean the bandanas that were/ are worn half-stuffed in pants
pockets. Something like touch football.
Bandannas fit around your waist?! What kind of behemoth bandanas are YOU
people gettin?! I see girls wearin bandana print TOPS, and even the SUPER
SKINNY ones wearing bandanas AS TOPS, but I haven't seen the around the
waist thing. I'm so out of touch....
Well I work in the friggin ghetto, and everyone's got their eye out for
someone else's "color", which is just stupid to me...but eh.
I wear a black one on my head, all tupac style when my hair sucks. One day
I got asked by a bunch of fine young fellows, who noticed my "do rag" and
inquired "yo, beyatch, WHATCHOO CLAIMIN?"
To which I replied "I fuckin claimin GOTH THUG BOY, STRAIGHT UP SATAN CREW,
SON, WHATCHOO GOT? YOU GOT NOTHIN! FOO."
They thought that was a riot, and I'm glad they didn't shoot me. I was
kinda hopin that they'd take me seriously and think all the mall rats were
my posse, and run them out of the mall, but no such luck. I got nuffin.
Fo sheezy.
