What about those of us who never heard of the show "rescue me".

and "cool kids wear it on their belt loop" is definetly a quote worthy of the Tool of the Year award.

Racist much. Blacks are not the only people who were in gangs. Whites, Blacks, Asians, Latin Americans....the list goes on...

I wear it around my head, headband style, my hat irritates my forehead so thats why I wear it, and w/o a hat it keeps my hair out of my face.

When it's cold i have one of those velcro facemasks. Fit's your face perfect and keeps you warm as hell. No point in wearing a bandana when you have that.

ya right, practical to have a piece of cloth hanging from your pants? Like it does much putting it around your forehead?? I think they look plain stupid/slash gangster wannabee.

Its origins are as a gang symbol ("got bandana hanging out the backside but only on the left side yeah thats the crip side" -Snoop Dogg) And then white kids realized they could get away with flashing gang colors on ski mountains, because black people don't ski.

a bandana hanging from your side makes your skiing look smoother, this is what mogul skiers used to a long time ago.

a little bit of classic rescue me for those less fortunate ones who have not watched it

Tommy Gavin: Listen, you can meet a guy's ex-girlfriend in a bar and feel her up.

Kenny Lou: Yes.

Tommy Gavin: You can be in a bar, meet a guy's ex-wife, and?
makes circular gestures on his chest

Tommy Gavin: Titty action. You can even grab his sister's ass while the guy is in the same bar.

Kenny Lou: Yes you could.

Tommy Gavin: And it would all fall under the giant unbrella rule of, "Sorry, I was drunk."

Kenny Lou: Like Visa and Mastercard, accepted the world over.

Tommy Gavin: In fact, that's why the rule was invented all those years ago, by the... Romans?

Kenny Lou: Earlier than that, my friend: the Druids!
counting on his fingers

Depends on what gang you're in! For example a Blood would rock it on the rightside while a Crip would represent on the leftside...
