A little colourful wrist action...
While not a fully qualified: 'Things that really .. really piss me off', this is close.
What is it with those stoopid coloured wrist bands?
Apparently, they're meant to be this pro-active thing were you're either up on gay rights, down on red meat, against bullying, happy to eat kosher / halal food, have been let out from the local mental hospital on day release or some other tiresome pseudo-political, 'right on' fleeting fancy.
The only time I ever wore one of those things was at my local swimming baths.
If you got a yellow one, you were out before three thirty.
If you got a red one, you were out after three thirty.
If you got a white one, you needed adult supervision.
And if you got a pink one .. well, you were a big girl! Nah, nah, na-nah nah!

Maybe they're the old Gay hanky code for the new millenium?

"Maybe they're the old Gay hanky code for the new millenium?"
That sounds weird / scary.
Care to elaborate?

Now my does that not surprise me? ;-p
yeah. it's a red one... but sadly I can't leave at 3.30 :(
Now, I was thinking of more practical uses for wrist bands.
For example, DJ is all choked up with cold [light-weight] so maybe we have a lurid green band which signifies this.
That way, you don't get within 10 meters of said individual, so you don't have to breath the same air as them?
Then you could have a voluntary wrist band which could be purple / mauve which means they're a bit of a dick head and to be avoided at parties...
"Are you serious that wrist bands are a big thing right now?"
Oh yeah!
We've got everyone from politicians to pop-stars wearing them, now.
This fad hit the headlines late last year when it emerged that kids who wore the wrist band against bullying were actually being the target of bullying themselves!
Indeed...
The top US govt. officials should wear it: matching the color of the terrorist color code (yellow now)....
Elaborating on my earlier comment, I refer you to the following link for further reading.. http://www.sexuality.org/l/bdsm/hanky.html
That's funny.
How appropriate that the colour maroon is associated with the liking of menstruating women.
Red beard, anyone?
Didn't see any mention of handle-bar mustaches, though...
