Alrighty then, I was tagged by Marzie on this girly meme…how do things like this happen to me? Haha! I decided to go ahead and share because it takes a real man (albeit unnaturally peculiar) to show his feminine side. Here goes:
Find a safe quiet place free of significant others, nosey meme makers, priests, nuns, all things religious and men in general. (If you’re a guy just reverse this process to male and tell us about your wallet, tool box, briefcase or metro sexual accessory.)
1. Dump the contents of your handbag in a pile.
2. Take a photo of your handbag and the contents.
3. Be brave and ’splain to your fellow bloggers what lurks inside the handbag.
4. Tag others who might want to embarrass themselves.
5. Answer these questions:
Describe the contents of your handbag. Please see my response below.
What’s the most important thing in your handbag? My Hannah Montana keychain
What’s the most embarrassing thing in your handbag? KY Jelly
What’s the smallest thing in your handbag? Bullets
Is there anything illegal in your handbag? Yes, but I left it out for legal purposes
My Man-purse (metrosexual accessory) Contents
Now let me describe my contents. I didn’t actually show my metrosexual accessory, it’s quite private and I’m sensitive about showing it to everyone.
- My gun – I use it everyday to get a better seat, a better place in line, when someone laughs at my metrosexual accessory (hey, it’s European), when a woman says no or if someone gives me a funny look. (My man-purse is a Hugo Boss with Rhinestones, made of Italian leather).
- Lots of bullets – I go through them like water.
- Tic Tacs – I like to have sweet, minty-fresh breath because you never know.
- A thick stack of hundreds – It’s so sexy to sport a cash roll, everyone is impressed.
- Ky Jelly – I don’t do dry and prefer slippery slickness
- Hannah Montana Keychain (usually slid on my index finger) – One day, she’ll turn 18. Bobby’s waiting for you baby.
I don’t know who to tag on this one. I’ll tag Speedy, Dan, Michelle and Debbie Dolphin

@Michelle: I hate you too. As I said, I am too embarrassed to show it. It’s deeply personal and I don’t want anyone to know my morbidly dark secrets!

What’s a man purse?
I have a small belt-bag that just about holds my wallet and cell-phone. My wallet is empty, my cell-phone out of credit…. But that’s authors for you.

@Osiris: Thanks “Osiris”! It’s nice to see you
@Emila: Thanks! Does that mean your purse has the same contents as mine? Hahaha
@Anthony: I actually don’t know! I do know that a belt bag is known as a “fannie pack”. I saw why men aren’t supposed to carry one in the horror movie “Hostel”. Perhaps you should watch it!

Hi Bobby,
It’s been a while. You probably remember me as the “Big Bang” creator. I just wanted you to know that I totally share your feelings towards Technorati. I have had more than one run in with them. It’s like throwing darts at a tank. They are too big and too arbitrary in their rules.
Anyway, I have a new project going. I would love it if you could come by and give me your thoughts. You may even want to participate. It is still in the construction stage. But I am taking participants. However, it’s your opinion and feedback I would like.
Thanks,

@Mel: Who? What Big Bang? Haha…of course I know you! I basically have an aversion to writing or doing anything for any ranking of any kind. I’ll definitely come check your site out!
@Debbie: Actually, I’ve already seen in your bag – I have eyes everywhere. I think it’s time to show the world your contents!!!!

Is the gun for when Billy Ray comes after you to get his daughter back? Haha well if you need help spending all those hundreds, you know where to find me!
I don’t have a camera to take a picture of my handbag, but I can tell you this much. All I found in there was a lot of rewards cards (I hate those things) and 5 different tubes of lip gloss. Time to prioritize my purse!

Hey Bobby,
I just thought I would share with you, and your readers, some of my my thoughts on Technorati, et al….. (It’s all on my site:)
“Many directories use a combination of Technorati Authority, Incoming Links, Google Page Ranks, etc. I know from personal experience and the experience of many other bloggers I know, that this also cannot be trusted. On one of my blogs, within a 2 month period my Google Page ranking went from a 0 to a 4, to a 3 and then to a 2, with no explanation. My readership stayed the same. In other words I do not trust PR. Anyways, readership does not necessarly define a good site, it more defines good promotion of that sie.
With Technorati, they decide, usually in an arbitrary manner, your “Authority”. Technorati has a 180 day rule (only incoming links over the prior 180 days are counted towards your “Authority”.) I totally disagree with this rule. I believe that an incoming link should be counted for as long as the link, and/or the linking site, exists.
Also, with Technorati, if you have too many links on one post, they accuse you of “gaming” and freeze your “Authority”, as well as showing zero incoming links. I have also known them to arbitrarily reduce your authority by as much as 90%. Linking games (memes) are part of the allure and fun of the blogging. Technorati doesn’t seem to understand that.
To continue my Technorati tirade…… On my other site, according to Technorati, I had approximately 5,200 “Blog Reactions.” Now it seems, over night, I have 3,600 “Blog Reaction.” This is simply another example of the unreliability and/or vinictiveness of Technorati, not to mention their arbitrary rules and their holier than though attitude..”

Mel, Technorati authority only affects the people who actually use it as a blog search engine. I have never known anyone that actually uses it to search anything; therefore, Technorati is irrelevant.
Writing relevant and creative articles that are actually about something is the only reason any blog should ever get a link.
I have 48 individual articles that are on page one Google search results, many of which are #1. I did it simply by writing things people search for. I don’t check my stats very often because they don’t matter. When I started blogging, the first thing I did when looking at another blog was to check their page rank and Alexa stats (I once had a toolbar for both) and compare myself against them. This almost ruined my level of self-expression and desire to write great articles in favor of just improving stats.
Once I stopped doing that, I freed myself. My blog has readers because I put so much into writing quality, not quantity.
The best bet is to do the same and disregard Technorati, page rank and all statistical separatism
