Random List One: Stuff In My Crumpler

[maxcelcat]

I was complaining yesterday that my Crumpler (er, a wanky brand of over-the-shoulder bicycle courier bags which I use when I'm commuting. Wanky, but very good) was far too heavy and my shoulder was aching.

Turns out there was a reason - it was STUFFED TO THE GILLS with, er, stuff. Here's a complete list of all the crap I was carrying around:

• Woolen "The Greens" beanie


• Pair of fingerless gloves


• Wild Berry flavour Extra drops


• 600 ml aluminium water bottle


• Prescription sunglasses


• Three cds – "Border Protection Policy" by Undecisive God, "Special Ballarat Tour Souvenir" by Y35.3 and "Dot Matrix" by Sue Harding, all purchased at Synesthesia when I swore blind I wasn't going to spend any more money...


• TV-B-Gone in box. Hooray for TV Turn Off Week!


• Chewy Caramel low carb chocolate bar


• Six piece precision screw driver set


• Oxfam shop chai mixture


• Notepad


• Two black kilometrico biros


• Half chewed packet wrigley’s bubble gum


• Empty 35mm film container


• Orange highlighter


• Rubber band


• Three empty Duracell battery packets


• One "Hacker" patch from Think Geek which fell off my bag yesterday.


• Deodorant, an el cheapo brand I picked up from the chemist across the road from work one day when I forgot to do my under arms one morning. Stinky!


• Derma-aid cream, an anti-rash cream (don't ask).


• Umbrella, black in case


• Three train timetables – two for epping, one for hurstbridge


• Three tram timetables – two for 86, one for the 112


• One Melbourne public transport map


• Small coloured in drawing of Toni Collette (don't ask about this one either!)


• Melbourne International Comedy Festival guide


• Receipt from Japanese restaurant


• One large hardback novel – "The System of The World" by Neal Stephenson. Probably accounts for half the weight of said bag!


• Lens cleaner


• Misc flyers form the comedy festival


• Three postcards


• Receipt from Melbourne Zoo


• Remains of a badge


• Amcal brand cold & flu tablets


• One gig USB drive in film canister


• Stickers for Culture Jamming


• Three glass cleaning cloths


• Two more TV-B-Gone's, not in original packaging


• 256 meg USB drive


• Portable radio


• Lip-balm


• Someone else's shopping list which I found in a basket at the local Coles


• Two AAA batteries in their package


• MP3 Player

You too can play along at home - simply empty the contents of your bag on to the floor and list it here on Livejournal! Preferably a bag which has become bloated with months worth of crap.

I'm going to put about a third of this crap back into the bag now...

Thanks to evildoom_bunny for helping put together this list.
