Romantic comedy Matthew McConaughey, or the creepy Lincoln-driving Matthew who cruises the highways looking for places to dump the dismembered hitch-hiker in the trunk?

The McConaughey clip is funny, and he actually makes some sense. But I have always found fanny packs to be dorky, and I'm finding the Flip Belt to be a more acceptable alternative.

Ummm, the flip belt is not an alternative because it doesn't carry hardly anything. Note that I seldom use a fanny pack so I'm not defending them out of fashion defensiveness but simply because they are incredibly useful and this ridiculous fashion police idea that they're unacceptable is completely idiotic.

I'll never like how they look until I can get the idea out of my head that they look like a bra for a hernia.

They look like colostomy bag carriers, too.

I have a small, black one that I use for outdoor running. But I don't think wearing one when working out was ever a fashion issue.

I carried a man-purse European leather carry-all in Paris. Loved it.

Wait, is that the same as a banana hammock?

Why not just up the ante and wear one at the same time as a pair of cargo shorts that also have both saddle bags loaded to the brim? I mean, if someone's given up, they may as well give up completely.
