Keynote Loose Guidelines


1. indicate number of keys.
2. what the keys *open* is welcomed but not required.
3.embellishment and creative keyness is kool.
4.

 

Alrighty then, I'll start, and I'm being straight up:
Embellishment may follow, depending.


I have 15 keys on my keyring.
Five for vehicles. One of which is for my late brother's Toyota Tacoma which I gave to  relative now living in Iowa. I'll keep that key on my ring.
Seven keys for front and back doors to three houses. I've carried a sheared off front door key to my parent's house since I was 19.
A key to my garage and to my utility building.
A safety deposit box bank key.

Every lock at our house has the same key - so just 2 keys and a bottle opener on my personal one.

But at work, every building, mechanical room, and electrical closet has a different key - so the damn keyring is so heavy, it pulls my pants down. Obviously, this is because the locksmith, Squarehead we call him, has job security. Prick!

First let me begin by saying this is a personal PEAVE of mine, I  can’t stand seeing people walking around with giant ring on and keys all over the place hanging out of their pocket, you can hear them coming a mile away. My father would get angry about it when I was a child, and I think he passed it on to me.

I have 3 “house keys” for 3 different places (house, ski camp, and summer camp) car key, and post box key on the same ring.  All other keys (motorcycle, safety deposit box, truck, tractor, ski locks, bike locks, and so on are kept on their own individual key rings) and I had 3 copies made of each which my wife has, lawyer, and mother.

Its also a pet peeve of mine seeing people walking around with 900 keys on their key ring. Usually, its a janitor ( which is somewhat understandable) or some idiot security guard-various loser type.

 

I have one key for my car and one for my house. And I would do away with both of those if it were possible.

For the record, I don't think of a security guard as a various loser type, just people doing a job that needs doing but it really does piss me off seeing a hundred keys hanging from a pocket as buddy whoever walks around not noticing the 50 lbs of weights they have clipped on

Then on the other hand someone with only two keys doesn't own very much.... sort of like a homeless person.;)

You're right. I stand corrected. I shouldn't have been judgmental about hard working folks doing a necessary job.

What I should have said is that anyone who walks around with 50 pounds of weights clipped on to their belts is trying to say something to the world about their level of importance: The more keys they have, the more important they believe themselves to be.

Let's not let this conversation devolve into a childish competition, friend. I make a very good living. Let's just leave it at that.

Oh snap!   Hey I was just trying to be friendly no competition intended.  I earned a good living too (now semi retired)--- especially for a "loser type" with a lot of keys--- for things all paid for in cash.

So I guess both of us will be having something to be thankful for this thanksgiving.;)

On the competition side, my pockets probably aren't as deep as the two of you. I'm content with what I feel in earning a descent living.
However, when I'm out in public wearing pants that have deeper than normal pockets, those 15 keys I carry, when shifting inward, can resemble the 'Percy Bulge', circa 1973-1975. Combine that with when my abs are semi- toned, many a woman has been mesmerized by the package they think I'm packing. I make eye contact, give a slight grin, sometimes a wink, and continue on.

I may add a couple more keys for the hell of it.

Hell, why not just go all in and wrap a cucumber in tin foil.

 

Now that might be interpreted as a "key to the kingdom"...

 

but sooner or later the rubber needs to meet the road...

 

Try this one on for size

Skeleton keys... nice.
Cucumber wise, if I ever went that route, I'd let it hang out on my kitchen counter for a few days  to limber up ,so as to have a bit of back and forth swag motion as I walk down the aisles at Costco. Probably can YouTube techniques that keeps it secure to the untrained eye.

I personally prefer a very fresh Japanese hot house cucumber for it's firmness, however the girth of a standard cucumber may be to the liking of others.  I guess it all depends on your target audience.

But to the "trained eye" we should probably defer to expertise of one of our Zeppettes...
