The Daily Ping

Since I work from home – no bag is required. When I do go into the office, I have my laptop bag.

I think I remember your bag from Webvisions, but howzabout a photo so we can judge you based on propaganda?

A knife bag. I have in it ten knives ranging from a 2½” paring knife to a 10″ chef knife as well as a thermometer, chopsticks (great for stirring in nonstick pans), wine opener and a few garnishing tools.

Before this line of work it was a rip-stop nylon aviation helmet bag complete with my “I’ve been there” pins from I can’t remember how many countries.

Ciao,

I have a three-year-old eBags grey messenger bag that I use pretty much daily. It’s a tad unfashionable and I think about replacing it now and then but, it’s doing its job just fine.

Either my laptop bag, or my Circa 2003 Strong Bad messenger bag.

I like my bags to be prepared to go “crazy-go-nuts”.

Douche bag. . . no just kidding! I carry a back pack to the office, sometimes I wonder why I carry it in the first place. Half of the time I don’t use most of the crap I carry. Shit I’m sure I don’t even know what I’m caring.

This might be a good opportunity to take inventory, let us see what is in my man purse:

Back (big) Pouch
– umbrella
– book: Blackwater Sound by James W. Hall
– nylon rope (59ft x ¼), I know for a fact that it has been in by bag for well over a year and a half. . . don’t ask
– leather gloves
– hand sanitizer 2 oz bottle
– hair shampoo 2 oz bottle
– an old bus schedule
– water 16.9 oz bottle
– about six crumpled up Bartell’s Drugs bags, I luv to use those bags as liners because they hold up to kitty po X 3 times

Front Pouch
– 2 pens one blue and one black
– 1 pad of orange posted notes 3 X 3, man those come in very handy last time I used one was like a month ago, I passed it a guy on the bus while coming into the office. It read “Dude you might want to zip your fly up”. By him turning bright RED was thanks enough.
– laminated emergency contact numbers for all my fellow co-workers
– puffs tissue packed
– first aid kit for cuts, scrapes and boo-boos, my company held a health expo last year and this was from GroupHealth
– a small baggie containing 3 LifeStyles ultra sensitive thin lubricated latex condoms and 1 lubricant pillow. My motto is better safe then sorry, you never know when an un-expected opportunity may come up (no pun intended)
– Art guide booklet for the Northwest
– another bus schedule
– 3 Mapquest directions print outs
– Louis Vuitton check book
– Louis Vuitton business card holder
– Louis Vuitton key chain/coin change pouch combo, I have been meaning to drop that one off for over 3 years to have the zipper fixed.
– 3 books of matches
– container of Tums
– Treo 700 cell phone
– box of smokes
– phone headset
– Lubriderm hand lotion 1 oz bottle
– 4 lighters
– container of Carmex lip balm
– 3 cologne tester samples
– Smoke Away natural homeopathic medicine container
– dental tape
– so that is where my money clip has been for the last past three weeks, that is how long I have been looking for it, dang too bad no bucks on it
– car keys
– found a hand full of change at the bottom of the pouch but it is all nasty covered in gum. A stick or a few of gum must have gotten loose and made it to the bottom along with the change.

I’m surprised that I did not find any paper clips or foil from breath mints, however I did find a lot of tabacco flakes.

Added the following items that I will take home:
– a box of ThermaCare heatwraps
– face scrub for men, by Sensaria

Does anyone know how to remove gum from coins? I tried hot water and it made it worse. Someone here at the office recommended alcohol. Hmmm, to drink or for the coins???

I’m kinna disapointed that no one has made a comment yet.

I sometimes use my old backpack from highschool/college

I have a Norwegian/american flag patch that I sewed on
