BUENA VISTA, COLORADO -- Steve "ColoradoGuy" Garufi was mocked and criticized by many of his web site visitors when recent photos showed the condition of his old and tattered wallet that is jam-packed with receipts.

Along with it being old, filled with useless receipts and business cards of people he will likely never contact, Steve rarely carries cash in his "George Costanza wallet."

"It seems pretty stupid to lug around such a big thing when you really don't need it." said Doug A. in Colorado Springs, "You might want to think about what you're doing but you're probably like the stupid masses out there who are like sheep."

"The crap in your wallet is shameful!" wrote Paula in Denver while in the chat room.

Paula, a regular visitor this web site, even implied Steve is irresponsible with his money and wouldn't date him because of it. "Oh Steve, that's just sad. (My dates) have always had cash for parking, tipping, random flower buying .... stuff like that."

According to Steve, he lugs his wallet with him in his front pants and shorts pocket, which doesn't cause any physical discomfort to him.

"Things just sort of gravitate to my wallet and before I know it, it's way too big and fat." explained Steve, who became defensive when he learned of the criticisms of him.

"There's a whole media frenzy going on right now about this stupid wallet! I can't believe this." he added.

"And it is you that is allowing a picture of your wallet on your web site. Am I right? I think you like the self-abuse sometimes." stated Kansas Kelly.

"Kansas Kelly always has to have her annoying little comments like that. That's all I have to say about her." replied Steve.

"Seriously, take some of that crap out of there, man! Do you need all that on your physical body ALL the time?!? Don't be such a girl!" wrote Kansas Kelly in a rebuttal.

A closer look of his wallet (bottom photo) showed the three card-holding sections have meshed with the cash carrying area, creating quite a mess. A starfish sticker, his driving license and a Kroger's long distance phone card could be identified.

Steve contends he has no plan to buy a new wallet, but admitted he may go through it and remove many of the useless receipts.

"It has definitely gotten bad. If I dropped this in public, it could be a really bad scene."
