to have a hole in my knowledge regarding blue rosaries?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

I have just been told the significance of these.

Actually, I think I'm getting to the stage where nothing really shocks me anymore.

[jaded]

Gang affiliation?

Has Dan Brown written a novel about it and therefore it is ultimately about the Masons/ Knights Templar/?

Traditionally, they were to symbolise a particular devotion to the Virgin Mary. But I'm guessing that's not the answer.

Well, I have this knowledge on the strongest authority (my DM's friend who runs the local church's Piety Stall ) that TheYouthsOfToday wear them to indicate that they have certain wares available to purchase.

[real fact]

Alopogies, I'm not current with the vocab.

It's like trainers and wires, non?

Drugs or prostitution? This is too cryptic.

Enlighten me about trainers and wires too, please

Ah now I'm disappointed. I was hoping for some creepy bride-of-christ or Opus Dei scenario. Or money spent preventing small African kids from learning about sex, that sort of thing. Meh.

No? Trainers and wires? Call me stupid. Curiouser and curiouser...

(does curiouser have that second u?)

Another divvy in the dark about all three. Rosaries, wires and trainers.
I did laugh at the anal bead thing.

wtf are anal beads?

I'm not sure I can cope with anything else 'blue' today, have already ended up googling 'blue waffle'.

(don't google)

Google them Chaos. Ideally at work.....

Like I'm going to fall for that Katiep.

So I win. right?

I'm intrigued...

I was amazed when I found out about trainers and wires - there was halfway down our street where we used to live more centrally, and I always felt sorry for the poor bullied kid who'd had his trainers thown up there [naive emoticon]

FIL enlightened me and I lost all my sympathy pretty rapidly.

PLEASE tell me about trainers and wires. This could be culturally important. Me and DD are moving to the UK in August. I don't want people ripping the piss out of her if her trainers don't have the correct wires in them. Although, TBH, I am struggling to work out how you would get wire into trainer holes.

am i correct in thinking trainers knotted together and thrown over telephone wires are to advertise where the local 'dealer' lives?? my 60 + yr old MIL told me this i am hoping she's not hipper and trendier than me :o

Always wondered how they got up there .....

I think someone should tell the police this info

Ok, I think. One doesn't lace ones trainers with wire, one throws their trainers over telephone wires to indicate where the local drug dealer lives. How curious.
What about if they move. Would the whole rigmarole have to be gone through again?

We don't have wires. We have coffee shops.

The rosary tale sounds a bit wind-up-the-old-dears though. When I was in school we used to say you could tell if a girl was a virgin or not by whether her socks were pulled up to her kneees or down around her ankles. Up was a virgin, down was a 'slut' (sexist little monsters weren't we?) and anyone in tights was 'selling it'. We were 12 at the time. Wish we'd thought of the rosary beads.

I thought they were thrown over the wire as a memorial to their deceased owner - at least I was told that was the case in the States.

2 pages and we still dont know the bloody answer???

can someone explain it using plain english please?
and the trainers and wires, cant be about drug dealers
i know there has got to be dealers where i live and there are no trainers on wires here!

Like Ghost Bikes. Only trainers. I think they should paint them white with that stuff we used to use on our plimsolls
