Strange Bandanas: The Blue Chile Pepper One

.

I own hundreds of bandanas. Many of them have strange stories connected to them. Here is one…

I have at least 10 bandanas with chili peppers on them. I bought most of them at a local flea market back in the early 1990s. But this one I found in an old stone house in the Mexican state of Campeche back in 1920. Or maybe it found me, I’m not sure.


Simply put, this bandana is haunted by the spirit of a Genuine British Loony named Basil. He’s never mentioned his last name. Generally speaking, he talks about one goofy ass thing after another and I tend to tune him out. I mean, I don’t give a rat’s ass about the insect collection he had when he was a boy, or why a given cricket team was so bad or that dinner he had in Chelsea back in 1887.

Over the years, I have learned that he went to Mexico in 1908 to seek his fortune, moved into the stone house and died a year later of fever. Or maybe stupidity, I don’t know. Anyway, I seldom wear the bandana because he’s an annoying twit.

Strange Bandanas: The Harley-Davidson One

.

I own hundreds of bandanas. Many of them have strange stories connected to them. Here is one…

Of the 14 Harley-Davidson bandanas I own, the one with the big eagle in the center is my favorite. I have no idea where or when I got it.

In most ways, this bandana is pretty normal, except that when I wear it I seem to intimidate people. Not greatly, but noticeably. Nobody gives me much crap and everyone calls me “Sir”. Unfortunately, it has the side effect of making every cop who sees me start keeping an eye on me, something I have spent several decades avoiding. As a result, I don’t wear it in most places where officers of the law might be found.
