    I used it for about half my second year of high school , then the strap broke :<

    i've had a homestar runner one for like five years. it's the same bag as the Toothpaste for Dinner ones

    no problems with it. the bottom got crackly so I bought a new one

    Rolling bags don't make you look professional they make you look lazy.

    Nothing is more telling than watching a fat person walking in a downtown area and/or around school with with a rolling bag.

    My first messenger bag had to be replaced when a large container of mustard dropped on it. The smell never fully washed out.

    That bag tasted so damn good

    But not for retarded children. They use backpacks.

    Messenger bags are really rough on your shoulders if you're carrying text books.
    I got a decent swiss army backpack for like $50, that has a laptop sleeve and an ipod pocket. It gets the job done.

    that is how I read this, and was immediately filled with the greatest vision ever of little gimpchildren flying headfirst into plate glass windows and a scruffy old janitor sighing, shoulders slumped, and grabbing his squeegee on a giant stick to go scrape off yet another reereestain.

    I have a backpack for school and I'm fine with it but for anything non-school I always feel really stupid carrying it around, and I'm thinking of getting a messenger back at some point. For now I'm just squeezing everything I need to carry into my pockets.

    I've got a decent swiss army messenger bag, but then again I won't have to carry too much day-to-day because i've got one or two blocks of free time between classes.

    If you have to carry a lot for classes, and don't have time to go back to your room stick with a backpack.

    That is not a messenger bag. That is a big fat purse. It doesn't even have a flap!

    To rage: That's too much bag if you ask me. Hell I never had textbooks in my bag. I used to just carry one or two under my arm. My bag was for folders, notebooks, and pens and shit.

    Yeah, if you're carrying around a text book in college, you're doing something wrong.

    oh my that is actually kind of cute where did you get that

    http://www.seatbeltbags.com/

    They're kind of expensive but I love them so much, I've been using mine since high school

    I have a smaller red one for when I don't need to haul bigger things around

    They're getting more popular, I see them around a lot more now.

    It's the only purse type thing I feel comfortable using for some reason, everything else seems too girly to me I guess

    yeah i thought so at first too, but I needed a sturdy laptop bag that was easy to travel with. Not a fan of briefcase style bags, and this thing is so incredibly comfortable to wear on the shoulders.

    Has a ton of little pockets and areas to clip stuff, and has a headphone 'port' for the iPod.

    Not carrying around old shabby crap that looks like ass just because you've got some cheesy sentimental value attached to it.
