Ask DB1: The Mandana
----DB1,
I have a question for you. Does the wearing of a mandana automatically turn one into a douche?
I live in 'rado and I have to say, the mandana is an acceptable accoutrement here. Especially when pursuing activity outdoors. I've even, on occasion, sported one myself. And I think I am far from a d-bag. Seeking your wisdom o' sen sai.
-Not a D-bag
----
First off, using "'rado" to refer to Colorado is pretty douchey in and of itself, NaDB. But as to the Mandana, there is a miminum level excuse for wearing it when engaging in outdoor activity.
But in the bars/clubs with hot girl in tow? While making hand gestures? Douche.

Hardcore bans like Ensign rocked mandanas long before they were "mandanas" they douche though...

i wear bandannas on my head when i do yard work to keep the sweat out of my face and eyes, or when i'm working out. i will make no apologies for such usage goddamnit.
NaDB is FOR SURE a DB.
While I will say that it's occasionally ok to rock the mandana (when I am riding my bike i often have a mandana under my helmet to soak up sweat that would otherwise get into my eyes. Either that or i take it back to hs football and cut the sleeve off an old t-shirt and put that on my head) saying 'rado makes you a douche without a single adouchetraiment.
wow, my parenthetical aside was longer than my post itself.

sorry - there are a few exceptions to wearing a colred kerchief - as stated above comanche and pirate are examples. The fact you refer to it as a mandana is clue one. Clue two in "'rado". Clue three is that you state it is acceptable in the same message you question it as such - attempting to ask a question while at the same time attempting to suggest the answer (which is clearly wrong) is clearly douche. Finally, one cannot assess one's own level of douchosity unless one is pure of douchal components - you are not, and therefore your self-assessment is not valid and without merit.
If this is your photo, then you sir are far from a simple removal of mandana from douchal disassociation.

It's not douchey when tradesmen wear it UNDER their hardhats. Sweat falls off your head like you wouldn't believe when you are busting ass outside.
I lived in Colorado for 2 years and never once heard anyone use "'rado" to describe it. That's even worse than "'zona."
Maybe he lives in Schlongmont.

DB1 stick to your guns. The only acceptable use for the mandana is gangbangers and construction workers. If you are wearing a mandana and are not A) Putting up your set or B) Building something or doing manual labor then..You sir are envolved in douchery..
PS I had no idea the "Rado" was infested with douche

DB-1,
I live in Colorado too and i am very glad you called this guy out on saying "rado" as the use of abbreviations seems to be out of control here.
For instance, it is not uncommon to hear " Got some sick pow last night so gonna go hit some sick vert". This roughly translates into "We had quite a heavy snowfall last night so i am going to the ski resort to ski some steep hills".

That's OK, douchelexic. I'll take one for the team. I'm a martyr like that.
And it saves Amanda from having to get that restraining order.

i occasionally wear a mandana when i exercise or am out working on the lawn. it keeps the sun off of my bald ass head.
plus, i look totally fucking cool.
this guy may be a douchebag, but he's drinking a Widmer Brothers hefeweizen. and ain't nothin' wrong with that.

@ pfah
thats an impressive recognition. we sell that at the last two bars or restaurants that i worked at and i didn't recognize it. i assumed it was some new flavor of smirnoff ice or zima.

@Douchelexic...hi. my name is pfah, and i'm an alcoholic. but thank you. i pride myself on label recognition. sad, but true.
Hey do any of you guys know where I can get tiny combes and moustache wax? I found it online, but can't find it at Walgreen's or CVS.
Amanda hugs douche with mandana. Reaching for his big banana.
With peepers like hers there is only one adage: Drink to me only with thine eyes.

pfah's suggestion is good, or if you have an old fashioned barbershop somewhere near you they should have that type of stuff too. They are surprisingly common, and surprisingly difficult to find.

i gotta agree with pfah... widmer rocks, and mandanas make you look cool.
however, i only wear my mandana when i am rocking out. ive had sweat drip in my eyes and fuck me up...
plus, it just cant be good to have sweat pouring off your face onto a guitar plugged into a 600 watt amp, with electronics and cords everywhere.
and i only wear my widmer shirt when i want to look like a total chach bag.

Those of you who defend the practical uses of a bandana are just fine in my book. Yes, when you're outside working in the yard, riding a bike, rocking out on stage, etc. it behooves you to eliminate any interference to completing your tasks.
Douchebags, on the other hand, sport the mandana because it's trendy. There is no legitimately defensible reason for that. Whether for the sort term or the long term, scrotewanks are only borrowing that predefined hallmark of "hip" until it fades as a "cool" earmark.

@dont wheeze-
that is true. these guys do it because they saw cary hart wearing one when he took his helmet off and they thought it would give them a chance of banging pink's tranny ass.

Did Cary Hart ever do a heavily keyboard/synth-laden song called "I Wear My Mandana at Night"?
He always idolized his uncle Corey.

@wheeze...yeah dude, i'd seen that before. ridiculous! nice beatdown though. the paparazzi deserve a solid smack in the mouth sometimes. i mean, i get sick of them sitting outside my house at all hours.

Correction: Follow her with a camera, but do not welcome her to places.
@han scroto
Funny story: I was once playing a gig at an "electrically questionable" venue. I'm no electrician, but I know that your amp should not be "grounded" into a metal railing near the stage. Imagine my surprise when, in between sets, I leaned against said rail while still holding my guitar. If there were any justice, I would have become Electro-Man, the newest member of the Watchmen, banging the Silk Sceptre silly.
In reality, I got a nice burn and a partial but temporary paralysis on that side of my body. Hello, Cleveland!

NaDB is totally a douche for the 'rado thing.
passes are definitely warranted in certain circumstances for mandana sporting. club mandana's not withstanding.

but hey at least the browns won.

WhoTF or WhatTF is "Kipratt"??!? Just the "Ratt" suffix makes me think of Mandana-ed, guy-lined, spandex-wearing taint painters. No surprise that Kipratt specializes in photographing the wily douche in his natural scab-itat.
I wear a mandanna when sparring. Keeps the sweat out of my eyes.
Nobody's talking about this anymore, huh?

I'm digging the Carrie Underwood Gone Bad vibe blondie's giving. Not digging the mandana in a bar.

This is interesting because when I was a kid in the '80s my grandmother would buy me (what were then) douchey items like polo shirts and Oxford cloth shirts. I assumed that they were yard work/grubby clothes and wore them as such, because they just didn't look like the sort of things that normal guys wear.
And great hott in this post.

I am from Colorado.
There is a reason we are not California.
Call it Colorado, otherwise you leave out the 'C', which is both stupid and neglectful of our State flag, which is the badassinist in the whole Union.
Douchebags can go to Cali. Either move there or stop thinking that Colorado is hipster-trash-douchebag enough to be truncated.

Is the term "native Coloradoan" still considered an oxymoron? It was while I was a resident (1992-1994).

Oh, yeah, there was a question being asked. Sorry. I'm playing poker at the same time. I wear bandanas, Not-A-D-Bag, if that IS your real name. I roll them up and use them like a headband to keep the hair off my face when it's hot and/or I'm working. Because I have long hair and I'm a chick. I also wear eyeliner with the bandana. Again, I am a chick. Do you see where I'm going with this?
My buddy's hair was super long and thick to the point where he couldn't pony tail it without giving himself a headache. So he busted out the mandana. We were hanging out at a bar and I was talking about HCWDB and mentioned the mandana thing. He didn't get it until a stage 2 walked in with a shaved head and mandana pulled down over the eyes. My friend of the hair said: Oh, I get it.
As soon as he got to Locks of Love length, WHACK! Now no more mandana.

I live in "rado" too, and I have to say, there's definitely a certain air of douchiness that surrounds the mandana wearers. It's a different flavor of douche than East Coast douche, but it is unmistakably douche. Expect long diatribes about their recent rock climbing experiences.
A mandana is like the Mark of the Beast - there's no denying the total turd-squirt doucheiness of it. No fucking excuses - if you rock a mandana, you are a douchebag. And probably a closet case rear admiral as well.
who the fuck wears cheapass black hills gold (read that as the cheapest quality jewelry grade gold available)silver colored rings on their pointer and thumb?oh ya,the same type that wears a perfectly crisp never sweat on mandana and mysteriously pulls honeys to the left,and sadly yes honeys to the right.by gazing into her sultry eyes i can only imagine the filthiest of all filthy thoughts are going thru her head,which makes my blood boil.the fact that this girl will soil her loins by being poked by this flaming fuckbag tells me that anything goes and she is down for whatever..goodbye cruel world...oh,before i tear my testicles out with a pliers,i should mention that i have heard a statistic that in 'rado there is a 9 to 1 female to male ratio..could this possibly be true?if so its little wonder how this abomination occurred...
8 years in Colorado. Never heard 'rado--'till today. Pretty lame. The unique blend of Cali' cumgoggle wearing hott, mountain sport toolbox-brohiem-bra-douche, and east coast transplant grease-douche could potentially put Colorado, a traditionally underrepresented geography, on the douchebag hunting map.
Happy hunting!
Happy hunting!
I have to agree with db1. See, at the heart of all douche is a fraud. Yes, backpackers wear mandanas, soldiers wear dog tags, bikers wear leather jackets, and people who've been away from civilization for a while have scruffy beard.
But to have two or more going on at a club to pass off as some preened ultra-soldier-biker-backpacker guy, is, well, douche.
Yeah it sounds ridiculous. But it illustrates my point.

The Mandana covers up the douche bags bald spots, because they're in denial of losing their hair and won't shave their heads!
irrespective of the dozens of other obvious douchebag indicators present in the photo, the combo of thumb ring and forefinger ring ought to do it...as well as introducing questions about the possibility of a sometime gay 'bag. this scrote needs a used bic razor for an enforced dry shave.
OMFG go to Kipratt's smugmug site:

Um...I live in Colorado, and can attest that nobody here knows what a "'rado" is. Is that like a melvin or something? Also, if he means Colorado, the mandana is hardly part of the local costume. Carhart coat? Sure. Columbia Jacket? Yes. Jeans and t-shirt. Well, that pretty much universal. But mandanas are more like a sign of serious head trauma. And judging from Angry Hott's body language, she could inflict some serious head trauma herself. Just sayin'. Girl is dirrrty. And by dirty, I mean mandana.
People in Colorado wearing a Mandanna are in fact douchebags. Also, people in Colorado who refer to Colorado as "Rado" are douchebags. This fellow is a douchebag.
