I dont get guys not going to some kind of school.....

[lonesomefool]

Who walk around with back packs. Seriously. I have seen like 3 guys at the comic shop today with those things on. If your homeless, well, then, by all means go ahead and wear one. Really, this is getting as bad as fanny pack dude.

For shame.....for shame.

[The Hodag]

Well I hear stacking-stuff-on-your-head is coming back, so maybe that'll help.

[Damian696]

I have a backpack. it's great for, y'know, carrying stuff.

[Kingsumo]

Wait, are you talking about actual backpacks, or do you also put courior bags in there as well?

I know a lot of people that will carry their laptops around, as well as other things.

Backpacks. I just dont get it. I mean, it just doesnt LOOK cool. I almost feel bad for the guys that wear them, I mean, at least get a briefcase so when you pass a woman on the street she doesnt laugh at you.

The worst is the guys with back packs of super hero characters. Or worse, Hello Kitty. I saw a 40 year old guy wearing a fucking Hello Kitty backpack at the LCS today.

I almost feel like calling the police and alerting them that a child predator has moved into the area.

[Ultimate Dead Cap]

haha. the nerve of some people demanding to carry more than their hands and or pockets will allow them to. Greedy fat cats...

[NickT]

Silly me, having something to keep things in!

[Ben]

So they should use super useful and convenient backpacks because they don't look cool? What are you, 12?

[Jason California]

I usually have my computer bag with me, but have been thinking of switching to a back pack to give me back more even support instead of putting all of the weight on one side.

Plus it helps to keep things in when walking around. I don't want to walk around with shopping bags for whatever little stuff I pick up.

[Amos Moses]

Maybe they're hiking?

[Ultimate Dead Cap]

when I wear a backpack I'm always so self concious if I don't think people think that I'm headed to school. I'm a FREAK WAAAAHHHAAA

[Ray G.]

It's extremely useful for when I go grocery shopping. It easily doubles my carrying capacity.

[Bill!]

You're on a roll today.

Brief cases are a bit unwiedly. And expensive.

[greg donovan]

this thread has inspired me to start using my internal framepack again to cary my wallet and various other things needed throughout the day.

[greg donovan]

You're on a roll today.

i would argue that using a briefcase and not wearing a suit/shirt/tie would look even more silly to the ladies.

nothing like a pair of cargo shorts, sneakers, a t-shirt and a briefcase.

[lonesomefool]

Maybe they're hiking?

With a Hello Kitty back pack?

If so, they deserve to get eaten by a mountain lion. Shit, the mountain lion will probably laugh his ass off for an hour at the poor douche and THEN kill him.

This info would have been much more revealing in the original post. ah well. its a backpack...I guess...

It's sad to see my fellow man, turn to Hello Kitty and blue neon back packs. Yes. It concerns me is all.

[The Hodag]

Y'know, maybe some of those guys are using their superhero backpacks at school.


FREAK SCHOOL!

Haw, burn.

[Bill!]

Although I will say this, when I was in DC, and I saw all the Pentagon guys in their suits with backpacks, they did look sorta foolish.

[lonesomefool]

It's extremely useful for when I go grocery shopping. It easily doubles my carrying capacity.


I prefer to ask for plastic bags. If they can double bag them, even better. I just get a smile thinking about how many baby seals I can killing when I do that.

:)

[Ultimate Dead Cap]

Maybe they wear them to give people something to talk about in a forum. Ooops. that's lame. Im done.

[NickT]

It's sad to see my fellow man, turn to Hello Kitty and blue neon back packs. Yes. It concerns me is all.
I have a bright blue backpack, I use it at cons. You see, it's a backpack which collapses down into a much smaller bag, meaning I can keep it inside another bag when travelling.



But again, don't let good ideas and logic get in the way of me not looking like the Fonz :)

[Amos Moses]

Although I will say this, when I was in DC, and I saw all the Pentagon guys in their suits with backpacks, they did look sorta foolish.

Pentagon's in Virginia...

Derrrr. I'm talking generally, the DC area. They do take the subway that goes through DC too you know.

From fashion to geography and national security -- this thread has it all.

I dunno about them, but I don't drive. I ride the buses and walk everywhere, so I kinda need something to carry around all my shit in. I will say, I am still in college, but even if I weren't, I'd still be carrying it around.

That I understand, I'm talking about the guys that drive. It just freaks me out for some reason, you drive all the way to the LCS, put your stuff in your Hello Kitty/Lil' Spidey back pack and walk into the store because if you need to grab something your too lazy to walk to the parking lot.

That isnt so bad as the things ON the backpacks. No grown man should have ANYTHING Hello Kitty in their possesion. Unless they have a little girl, and even then that's a little weird to be wearing you little girls Hello Kitty back pack?

[UltimateQuintessa]

I'm pro backpack. You can put almost anything in them.

I don't know about freaking me out, but it is a little odd. The Hello Kitty shit is just plain creepy and you should probably call the authorities, because those guys probably like giving juice boxes to kids that make them sleepy.

Well some of us have illegal firearms to carry in case we run into some judgmental hipster know-it-all in need of a cap being busted into his ballsack. Hiding said firearms in a cheaply made florescent orange Muppets backpack is simply logical.

[lonesomefool]

Be sure to get the ones the "Meow" when you climax!!!

[Ashton]

I think that this pet peive of your is unfounded. backpacks are handy- student or not.

[hotdogdownahallway]

I don't see a problem with carrying around a backpack.

Also, if some grown man wants to carry one around featuring Hello Kitty, let him deal with the consequences of ridicule. Not your problem.

[andrew french]

what??

maybe it's because i'm still a college student, so I'm used to always having a messenger bag on me...

but backpacks are practical. I don't see any problem with adults wearing them.

A Hello Kitty backpack on an older guy isn't silly because it's a backpack. I'd wear it, though.

[Mattman]

Fact #1: Clive Barker walks around West Hollywood wearing a furry Teddy Bear backpack.

Fact #2" Clive Barker can kick your fucking ass.

[RegularJoe]

i drive most places so i can store whatever in the car when i head into the shop. but if i walked or took my bike, i'll wear a damn back pack and not it anyway worry about whether or not i look 'cool'.

[c. page]

i would argue that using a briefcase and not wearing a suit/shirt/tie would look even more silly to the ladies.

nothing like a pair of cargo shorts, sneakers, a t-shirt and a briefcase.

agreed. my job is extremely casual (jeans and t-shirt), so carrying a briefcase would just look silly. i also take the bus, but on the odd days when i do drive i still carry the backpack for when i hit the gym.

can't say i agree with you on this one, man.

[NickT]

Although I will say this, when I was in DC, and I saw all the Pentagon guys in their suits with backpacks, they did look sorta foolish.
I suppose it's the opposite of the suitcase with shirt and shorts idea, a poor mixing of smart and casual :)


Usually if I'm in the city, I'll be taking public transport. I'd use an MP3 player, read a comic or maybe a book, maybe jot stuff down in a notepad. I'd look silly carrying them all in my hand :)

[Maxwell]

Nah, backpacks are fine. They are extremely efficient for carrying stuff, so why shouldn't older people use them?

[modungo]

I always have a backpack nearby. I live in constant fear of not having entertainment. Comics, books, ipod, psp, I don't have enough pockets on my person. Also, it give me the opportunity to advertise my interests through the use of buttons.

I am pretty sure it's cool. I do it. If you ever wanna try something and are wondering if it's cool, check and see if I'm doing it. If I am, you're good to go.

[Blake Sims]

That's silly.

[hotdogdownahallway]

People need something to carry around their adult magazines in.

For shame.....for shame. I have a blue single-sling backpack and a Murse. I use the backpack to carry my stuff, like sketchbooks, pens, travel watercolors and travel acrylic sets. MP3 Player, harmonica, and comics.

If you know of a better way for me to carry around that shit, I'd love to know.

And no, I'm not a student nor do I have a car.

And I use the murse to go grovery shopping.

Also, what's wrong with a grown man having a Spider-man backpack and being silly? Why so serious? Lighten up, son.

[Keith P.]

My friend Lisa stuck a Hello Kitty decal on my toolbox, that adamantly refuses to be removed. It's like its welded on or something.

I was not pleased.

HA!HA! Me too! Its for Ella. She loves to hear me play it.

[gaspar]

I carry a backpack pretty much religiously. It has a padded laptop compartment. Holds my laptop, portable XM, iPod, pda, camera, books, comics, pens/pencils, anything else I need. I'm a grad student...it's very useful. Not really worried about the "coolness" factor, though I did buy a simple black one, not Hello Kitty or Spider-Man.

It's also very convenient at convention time. Lugging around a regular bag full of comic con swag gets obnoxious and cumbersome...backpacks are awesome at conventions!

[greg donovan]

You carry around a harmonica?

That...is fucking awesome.

:rock:

i used to carry a harmonica too but i couldnt really play anything other than making noise and i may or may not be a hobo.:scared:

[kylethoreau]

gee I guess I'll carry my stuff under my arm while I'm riding my bike around.


Sorry I'm not cool enough. Hey I'm 26 too and have never bothered to get my license either, you know cause I didn't feel like dropping a ton of money each week on gas and such, especially now.



sorry if I'm coming off more pissed off than needed, but I'm really goddamned sick of people looking down their noses because I don't do things the way people think I 'should' do things/:-?

I dont mind bike riders, except I have a HUGE problem with bike riders who feel they are part of traffic and do not use the bike lane. That, I have SUCH a huge problem with because they slow up traffic and cause potential safety risks to themselves and others.

Also, I would suggest getting your license anyway, even if you dont plan to drive. It opens you up to lots of different job oppuritunities and is the most common form of I.D.

You need to think of a better name for it than murse. Seriously. Surely you can call it something like "Gun and Fun bag" and claim you carry about bombs or something. A murse just reminds me of the Seinfeld episode.

[lonesomefool]

You know another thing that annoys me/pisses me off.

The stupid fuckers who stop at a stop light and leave TWO car lengths of remove between them and the car in front of them. I see these people all the time and it makes me want to get out of my car, tap on their window, grab their phone and break it and tell them to learn how to fucking drive. Seriously, how bad of a driver do you have to be to leave 2-3 car lengths of room between you and the next car at a stop light. This country needs to seriously stop handing out licenses to people who cant understand basic concepts like that. I'm super Serial damn it.

Oh, my plan is to save up a lot of cash and move out into the middle of nowhere some day. I'm a reall laid back guy, but stupid crap like that just annoys me for some reason. I mean really, how hard is it to understand BASIC driving rules. It's not rocket science here, it's pretty simple. I simply do not understand how so many people can literally suck at something as simple as driving. I can see sucking at cooking, I do, I can see sucking at telling jokes, I do. I can even see sucking at relationships, cause I dont....ok....maybe I do....but driving? That is so simple there is no excuse for being a bad driver other than laziness.

It doesn't help that I will often jump on my cat while she is sleeping while screaming "Kitty Butt Rape!"...

I need to make a note to myself to either be first in line if KeithP needs a roommate for a trip to SDCC or to NEVER volunteer to room with him at SDCC, I'm not sure which. :scared:

As for backpacks, I got stuff, so I have a backpack. If somebody made a really cool superhero backpack, I'd carry that. I have little time to worry about people getting their panties in a bunch over some simple thing I'm doing. Oh, and I usually assume the guy with the Hello Kitty backpack is just lugging it home after dropping his rugrat off at ballet/soccer/whatever where the kid can't schlep it around or stow it.

[Kody]

Seriously, I never though the government would have to teach people how to ride a bike, but I think they might have to now. With Gas prices, the ammount of people who clearly have zero clue about bike rules is amazing and is quickly becoming a serious danger. I'm shocked more dont die.

[lonesomefool]

Believe it or not, there are people out there that are more concerned with function than "looking cool."

It's not so much about looking cool, as much as having some self-pride. You should have enough pride to go "you know, I do kinda need a back pack, but I have enough pride to not wear this Hello Kitty or Barbie back pack".

I have the same thought about the gamers at my LCS who show up and clearly have no an ounce of pride to even SHOWER or shave or TRY to make themselves look like functional human beings.

[hotdogdownahallway]

Actually, when I used to work at a comic shop, one of my co-workers used to bring his lunch in a TMNT lunch bag.

I dont have any stuff to carry around. I dont own a laptop, and any stuff like books I can just throw in my car.

The only thing I need to really carry around is a cooler with beer in it, and that I can just put in my back seat and throw the cans out the window while a stoned hippie and an Native American shed a single tear.

I have a backpack. it's great for, y'know, carrying stuff.

Yeah. I carry my laptop around, scripts to edit, dance shoes when I go to dance class... it's great for when I bike downtown and decide to buy a couple used books and some CDs. I mean, I don't drive, so I don't know how else I'd lug all this crap around.

Is it a back pack made for a 3 year old girl?

If yes, then there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with it.

I've always been a bit of a pack rat. I usually carry with me several books (at least two, usually three), a meal (usually lunch), my Nintendo DS, a huge bottle of water (Evian 1.5 litre size, sometimes 2 of them), various papers, toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, checkbook and often an extra shirt or change of pants. I usually dress casually but sometimes get called in for jobs whilst I'm out and need something a little more formal to wear. Hence, my wonderful backpack from L.L. Bean (http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=1&catalogId=1&langId=-1&categoryId=48014&sc1=Search&feat=sr):

I'd need a better reason to lighten my load than it looking dorky.

I prefer to ask for plastic bags. If they can double bag them, even better. I just get a smile thinking about how many baby seals I can killing when I do that.

:)

As someone who works at a grocery store, I loathe anyone under 60 who asks for double bagging.

I have never asked for double bagging. I said that as a joke to slip in the little shot at killing baby seals.

Man, your sarcasm/joke detector just isnt working when it comes to me today.

Besides, if you guys wouldn't try to cram thirty pounds of grocers into one plastic bag, I wouldn't have to ask for double bagging! :mad:

Dude, we are really busy. And sore. We get yelled at if the moment we finish bagging one person's groceries we don't immediately move to another register to bag someone else's. And my mouth gets physically numb from saying "paper or plastic" and "have a good day" 100 times a day.


But I understand your complaints, and I forgive you;)

I just like the fact people "loathe" someone for asking them to do something that is part of their job.

I mean, I can see not liking it if they said "Well, can you please go and get my cat out from the attic" like I had an elderly lady ask me on time, since that isnt part of my job description...but double bagging seems like a pretty typical request and part of that job.

I dont know, at least you get to work in A/C and indoors. I hate being on a black rooftop in 95 degree weather like Friday.

That said, I do feel bad for you guys from the aspect you have to deal with the elderly and middle aged houswives. Two of the absolute most bitter and horrible groups on this planet.

I'm exaggerating, of course. But when you're exhausted after hours of continuous bagging I'll find it hard to smile after doing extra work, especially if its needless like it often is.

I get a mix. I'm either inside bagging endlessly or outside (like I was Friday) in the sweltering heat trying to move a dozen carts at a time with my power alone. I prefer carts just because I have plenty of water and I don't have to deal with people (when I do it's just friends who I want to stop and talk to.)

Don't be mean! Think green! Recycle! Namasté brother!:roll:
Come on! There's nothing inherently mean about using double bags for heavy groceries, just as there's nothing inherently kind about not doing so. There's also nothing about using double bags for heavy groceries that also precludes recycling. Those plastic bags make very good impromptu garbage bags back at home and can also be used for sorting recyclables. :wink:But really, :roll::)But, yeah, seriously...:roll:

You carry around a harmonica?

That...is fucking awesome.

:rock:




























Are you a hobo? I am not a hobo but have always wanted to hop a train to somewheres. And sometimes ... you just never know when you'll want to rock off a beat. :D


HA!HA! Me too! Its for Ella. She loves to hear me play it. What can you play?
i used to carry a harmonica too but i couldnt really play anything other than making noise and i may or may not be a hobo.:scared: I can play the Superman Theme, Godfather theme, Catfish Blues, Imperial Death March, and The Train. I'm gonna be getting a book soon to learn some more blues songs.



gee I guess I'll carry my stuff under my arm while I'm riding my bike around.


Sorry I'm not cool enough. Hey I'm 26 too and have never bothered to get my license either, you know cause I didn't feel like dropping a ton of money each week on gas and such, especially now.



sorry if I'm coming off more pissed off than needed, but I'm really goddamned sick of people looking down their noses because I don't do things the way people think I 'should' do things/:-? *high-five!*


It's less a backpack, more a piece of cloth tied onto a stick :) Is not!


anymore.


You need to think of a better name for it than murse. Seriously. Surely you can call it something like "Gun and Fun bag" and claim you carry about bombs or something. A murse just reminds me of the Seinfeld episode. Well, it IS a murse. Nothing wrong with it being called a man-purse. A wallet is by definition "a purse". "Jack-sack" sounds just as retarded. Generally, I just call it a "messenger bag" because that's what it was labeled/sold as.


You know another thing that annoys me/pisses me off.

The stupid fuckers who stop at a stop light and leave TWO car lengths of remove between them and the car in front of them. I see these people all the time and it makes me want to get out of my car, tap on their window, grab their phone and break it and tell them to learn how to fucking drive. Seriously, how bad of a driver do you have to be to leave 2-3 car lengths of room between you and the next car at a stop light. This country needs to seriously stop handing out licenses to people who cant understand basic concepts like that. I'm super Serial damn it.

Yeah! That shit annoys me too. I hate it when they give a license to someone that follows road laws!

you do realize that the driver's education handbook you're supposed to read before getting your license specifically says to leave at least 1-2 car lengths between you and the car in front of you. At least, it says that in Florida's driver handbook

I can't play a damn thing on it. :lol: But I try! - Kari
