Of Poop Stained Bags

edited May 2008 in Social Entropy++
Oh damnit, i spilled about a whole 20 oz cup of coffee all over my work desk and all over my bag. And it is an awesome bag too, a green timbuk2 bag that i've had for about 3 years now. The large pooplooking stain looks to be staying on, so maybe its time to buy a new bag.

So dudes, should I stick with the timbuk2 messenger bag?

my old one was basically the one on the left.

Or should I find another fine purveyor of bags to carry my stuff around? Maybe go back to using a simple backpack instead of fancy shmancy messenger bag?

And what type of messenger bag/backpack/purse do you carry around?

So this is the bags and backpack thread, basically

    You should poop in the bag and leave it near the desk of someone you dislike.

    I have a Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo bag I carry around. To date, I've only had two people I don't know notice it.

    The rest are probably laughing at me

    also, i haven't gone on my work poop yet. it is worrying.

    man those timbuk2 bags are fucking rugged as hell so I'd say keep trying to clean the one you have and just keep using it
    but if you really have to replace it, stick with timbuk2 because you know you're getting quality

    I've got the same Jansport backpack I purchased in junior high. Basically all the zipper tabs have been replaced with paper clips wrapped in electric tape. Which is really a shame, because my seventh grade self would have thought that was awesome.

    Maybe I can invent a time machine and go negotiate a trade with the little bastard.

    Yeah, i was thinking of just throwing the bag in the washing machine and cross my fingers. The stains look kinda bad though, and sketchy. Good advice once again, grandpa

    It can be really hard to tell because I have some potentially real stuff. Plus the knockoffs are actually really good ones.

    How about I come to PAX decked in a variety of genuine and knock-off and you can go ahead and figure out which is which.

    I have an awesome Fossil canvas / leather messenger bag for carrying around my keys, wallet, my small camera, phone and a Sharpie.

    It's been stitched back together from having fallen apart and been torn open a few times but it's still going strong.

    I told her to go ahead and save up for one because there is no way I'm spending like $500 on a fucking purse. I don't give a fuck how many cleanings and shit they give.

    Yeah I don't know how some people can justify spending that kind of money on a purse. I go through mine real quick in that I either get tired of them, shit gets spilled on them, or I just don't like them anymore because WOMEN ARE FICKLE FICKLE CREATURES.

    I made the terrible mistake of buying a girlfriend a coach wallet. She didn't fully zip her backpack one day and lost it at school. Not only did she never get it back but about $100 of gasoline was bought on her credit card in a day.

    I've had my eddie bauer messanger bag for 12 years now.

    It's been all over the world and taken everything I've ever thrown at it.

    However, when I get my laptop I may need to replace it because it wasn't designed with carrying a laptop in mind. Size isn't a problem but this sucker isn't padded anywhere.

    Maaaaaaaan....this bag and I have seen some shit together.

    My current purse cost somewhere around 15 dollars and I have had it for about 3 years, at least.

    Since I got to the point where I started carrying a purse, I've gone through ummm 3, maybe 4 purses.

    A good messenger bag is a hell of a lot more comfortable to carry around than a shitty laptop bag.

    If your messenger bag is big enough all you need is a protective sleeve for your laptop and you can keep using your messenger bag.
