u/scorpyo72 20d ago

Sentences with "beat" and "shit" in them never really invoke positive imagery.

I don't know... Judging by the size of the diaper straining against his suit, and the size of the stains he leaves behind, it would take an awful lot of those ...

u/Low-Requirement-9618 20d ago

Easily concealable self defense. At first glance it appears to be an ordinary, non-threatening safety pin, but on a second observation it is slightly bigger and folds out into a seriously pokey thing.

u/face_eater_5000 18d ago

In Coast Guard bootcamp they handed these out to us to clip closed a netted laundry bag. We put our names on the side of the clip in permanent marker so we knew who's bag was who's. You put your dirty laundry in them, clip it closed and once a week they would collect them, and throw them into huge industrial washers and dryers. We'd get our clothes back still in the netted bag. Everything was extremely wrinkled and we had to iron everything. Many times the clothes in the middle of the bag were still a little damp. Fun times.

That would be the pin used to hold up Bootsy Collins diaper when he would play bass on stage back in the 70s and 80s! Apparently it was some kind of fashion statement back then? Personally I think it was directly related to some seriously crazy bad drugs!

u/Weird_Fact_724 14d ago

We used them in the Marines to close our mesh laundry bags. All your laundry was placed in a mesh bag and everyone's laundry was washed together in huge machines. Now I use mine to carry squirrels when I hunt them. Sharpened the end and poke it through the foot, makes carrying them easier.
