I’ve asked this question before, but that was back when I only had about two readers, so I feel that I should be allowed to reuse posts now that I have approximately twelve. Recycling! Making the blogging world Greener one post at a time! Anyway, I saw a man wearing a winter coat on my way to work this morning and it made me think. I’m curious if a straight man can wear a winter coat with fur trim, even if it’s just a trim around the hood. Personally, I think any fur on a coat is murder unless its fake gayer than butt sex, but (LOL!) I’m curious to see what you guys think. Does a coat with fur trim — no matter how minimal — make him gay?
The weather is cold and my mind is wandering…

WOW! It is so early to cause me mental conflict. My initial reaction is gay, gay, gay to have fur on your coat. The only fur I like is down south on the honey I just picked up at the bar. But then I think about those blue parkas that have that stripe of fur around the edge of the hood and while I wouldn’t wear it I might not say gay to it. And what about eskimos? Are all eskimos gay because they wear fur coats? Hmmm, this is a dilemna to be dealt with over a bloody mary. I’ll be back after I have 3 or 4…
I think it might depend on whether cold means 30° F or cold means -60° F. In other words, is it more of a fashion statement or more of a means of survival. But I’m not a guy, nor am I aware of too many fashion trends anyway, so that answer should be taken with about a pound of salt.
Fur-lined hooded parkas aren’t gay — as long as the fur is on the hood only and doesn’t extend down the front or along the bottom. Anything with fur on the cuffs will begin to alter your chromosomal structure immediately, ultimately resulting in homosexual transformation by mid-season. Sooner if there are extended blizzard-like conditions. This fur-induced homosexuality can be reversible under certain circumstances by installing a gun rack in the back window of your vehicle or by shopping in the men’s section of Wal-mart.
Weather, how I love to vent about the weather. Freaking 23 degrees here this morning with the wind and me out scraping the damn frost off the car windows. ARRGGHHH!!! Why do I live in the arctic? Next job I’m taking better be Jamaica or Barbados. Done bitching.
As for fur, fur around the hood is okay and not gay. Probably all out fur is okay if you are an Eskimo living in an igloo and said fur is seal and you caught it yourself in a kayak using a spear, otherwise, its too much and way gay. I’m not a fan of fur until its -40 with the windchill and I have to walk from my car to work – then I’m less inclined to be sentimental over who deservers to be warmer, me or the animals. I’m not rabidly anti-fur but I just don’t think its really necessary these days.
Hayden: Have you been to the Argyle Lounge. I posted a pic of something I saw in Toronto yesterday and thought of you.
LOL! @ “and said fur is seal and you caught it yourself in a kayak using a spear”
And yes, eskimos are exempt from this quiz.
Tam: I haven’t been there yet but hope to drink beer while logging on this weekend. I will think of you while I look at the picture that made you think of me! Thanks, can’t wait to see it…and I am glad that you are thinking about me…oh yeah baby….
I say potentially unfashionalbe, but not necessarily gay. If you are a man and happen to be performing fellatio on another many while wearing such a coat, then that *might* mean gay.
It’s all in the styling. Work boots and overalls can be gay and fur coats can be straight. One day you’re in and the next, you’re out.
But I do wish to go on record that I disapprove of recycled posts. Creativity is a renewable resource.
I’d have to say it’s pretty gay at least for someone to wear something like that down here (Louisiana) since it usually doesn’t get cold enough for all that.
You have obvisouly never been to the “hood” because gangstas love faux fur. I dont think any real gangster would wear fur if it was thought to be gay. But they do wear bright purple and orange pinstriped suits, so who knows.
What a weird question! A lot of kids of both sexes have winter coats with fake fur so I don’t think that it means anything.
I used to have a (cheap) black vinyl jacket with fake white fur all around it that used to get me more compliments than any other coat I’ve worn. I never could figure out why though. Now I wear a denim jacket with black lace around it that Mom got me for Christmas. Not sure if that says anything about me or not! I love it ,so that’s what counts.
As a gangster myself I can say that fur on a coat is not gay. There are lots of kinds of ‘straight fur trimmed coats’
Gay: HERE
Straight: HERE
Gay: HERE
Straight: HERE
Gay: HERE
Straight: HERE
Jeff: One time in college chemistry, we were working under these overhangs in the wall called “hoods” that would suck up the fumes, similar to those things over stoves. I told my lab partner that if I was born inside one of them, then I could say I was from the hood. She didn’t think it was very funny.
Michelle: I remember that jacket! I liked it! Don’t worry, this question doesn’t refer to girls’ jackets. Gay girls where biker or camouflage jackets. Just kidding
Joemo: Thanks for the lesson! I’d like to see you in that caveman oufit. Or not.
He’s not gay; he’s a meth addict.
Oh, wait, aren’t those synonymous?
Joemo: Hilarious. I’ll never look at a nimble white ferret nibbling red berries in the pristine snow-covered ground quite the same again.
OMG so on a completely unrelated topic….I work with promotional products so we have all kinds of samples of promotional apparel and everything. So I was wearing a coat from the sample room b/c it’s colder than balls in here, and in walks our fedex guy. Our fedex guy looks like an underwear model and is SO sweet and talkative with me everytime he comes in. So this time he comes up and I’m signing for a package (ha!) and he spots the tag on the back of my coat so he grabs me by the shoulders and spins me around and puts his hand down the back of my coat to get the rest of the 18 tags attached to the damn thing, and he pulls them off and then slips them into my front pocket. I said thanks and he smiled and blushed and said “anytime.” I mean really who says that. He is SO HOT! omg omg omg omg omg…..
I can’t breathe. I am turned on….at work………
Damn, guess I’m going to have to start wearing a coat when my office is cold. Although the mail room guy is a scrawny gangster looking guy who’s about my height. (which is bloody short) so I guess I’ll just live with the heater under my desk. Lucky you Joe. And your examples were perf. (my word du jour)
joemo: Colder than balls? I don’t know about you, but…
Oh, and I’m no expert on man on man attraction (hell, I know little about female to male attraction) but seems to me that you might have been offered more than one package today…
John: A boy can dream can’t he. le sigh.
Craig: If you were to overnight me a package, I’d sign for it. I’d sign for it all night long.
Joemo: I’ll have to see if I can find a mailing box big enough for my package.
America has enough fur to supply us for 100 years, so I say murder baby murder!!!!
P.S. I don’t really say that.
joemo: Sounds like you’ll be needing to send yourself more UPS packages…
Dave S: Fedex packages……..the UPS guy is complete trash. haha
joemo: Excellent! Fedex has a much better logo.
Dave S: Agreed UPS’s logo always reminds me of 1985 for some reason. (Brown and gold) They’ve even tried to update it lately with some dimension and shadows……still ugly
Joemo: All I can think of is the Legally Blonde approach to that situation. Start practicing your bend and snap. (Wow, I feel gayer for having written that. Not as gay as a fur coat, but getting there).
joemo: The cool thing about the Fedex logo is the cool little hidden arrow. Once you see it, you can’t *not* see it. Brilliant.
fur trimmed hoods are definitely on the gay side. If a straight guy wants to be a real man and stay warm in the winter, get one of those Russian fur hats.
I think fur hoods are mostly acceptable for everyone now. A few years ago it would have been devastating for a straight male to have fur along the hood. Now, fur hoods are trendy.
Fur trimmed hoods are “gay”? With all the parties I have bounced for in the past two years, I must respectfully disagree.
Yes, I do security part time. Don’t judge me by my avatar.
Whoa whoa whoa…tell us more about this bouncing! Don’t think you can spring that on us without consequence! How big are you? Do the people you deny entry know what a big Dame Shirley Bassey homo you are?
If they knew what a big homo I am, I’d be out of a job. I have a natural expression on my face that makes people always ask me what I’m mad about, I’m not mad, that’s just how I look. Also 90 percent of being a bouncer is total bluff. Plus I live in Virginia where anyone can walk around in public with a gun on their hip (and I’m a State certified armed guard) big Whoop.
But I’m not in a big city, so the parties I bounce for are private parties, except they sell tickets to the public, worse crowd than the clubs get.
But back to your questions:
1. 6’1″ 200 lbs, blessed with a Y shaped torso
2. Hell No they don’t know, If they did I’d be dead by now, remember “bluff” it works every time.
Mark: You ever do any fedex work? lol
I think we need pictures.
I have a Y shaped torso too, every time i take my shirt off someone says why would you do that?
I said torso, the face is all shot to hell! I am 45 after all.
And Craig, you should remember, I don’t allow pictures at any time, I sent you one once and you agreed I looked pissed in it. I even used it as an avatar for a while but got tired of looking at my pissed off face.
I have a Z shaped torso. Scoliosis. very devastating.
heh
Marcus: LMAO!!!!!!!!!!
Fur trim? I would say no. Full length? um, maybe?

That was you? I completely forgot about that!
sorry for getting here so late…damn blocker at work.
So we’ve decided that fur trimmed hoods are not necessarily gay, right? What about fur trimmed underwear?
Oh, and if the FedEx guy spins you and tears things off your clothes and puts his hand in your pocket…that makes him gay too, right? gay or just really friendly.
Oh, and I have the O shaped torso…and O laying on it’s side parallel to the floor…..
HUGS…
I have an M shaped torso, as in “mmmm, delicious!”
haha everyone is funnier on friday. That or my meds just kicked in.
“That was you? I completely forgot about that!”
If that was for me……Ahhh, same name, same ip address, same email.
That’s OK, I know you’re busy. Does that mean I can comment as Dirk and you won’t know who I am? Because Dirk has a lot to say
Does Dirk charge $2.99 a minute?
I just asked, and it’s free for anyone who says “Puntabulous”, just dial 1-888-367-2625.
DON’T CALL THAT NUMBER!!! It equals 1-888-for-cock.
That’s Craigs favorite word, so I just made it up. Don’t Call It!
OMG, some old lady answers the phone and goes into full description of what she is going to do to me and have me do to her…i highly recommend a quick call to her…
Marcus: Would that make her a GILF?
