@hac@mike808 me too. years ago two close friends and i all had ‘doctor’ nicknames, based on our ability to (usually drunkenly) counsel each other and other friends but simultaneously not following our own good advice. mine was Hobag, MD. i even made it my twitter name - not my handle but the name on the account.
at some point i stopped caring about twitter and my account went stale but i didn’t delete it. and several services started allowing you to log in via twitter or facebook rather than create a whole account on their site. i don’t have a facebook account. anyway there’s nothing like getting some sushi delivered and the guy asking you to put your signature right above your printed name on the receipt…Hobag, MD.
Looks like the straps (and customer service) are weak points. Don’t really want a bag with straps that will start falling apart after 6 months and leave me without a replacement, to boot.
The dayglo orange ones are rather … aggressive. But I’m not fond of the mint green or lemon yellow either. Would it have killed them to make something in blue?
Carla sat down in 24C. She always flew coach - the security screenings were better. She always sat on the aisle.
A few passengers went by. An old man stopped at her row. He wore a purple velveteen suit. He hoisted an overstuffed orange backpack into the overhead bin. He pointed at 24B with his left hand. The top third of his pinky was missing. Shit, Carla thought. Outplayed again.
“Anata wa suteki desu,” she said with a snear.
“Takahashi Kaito desu. It is good to finally meet you, Carla. Joshua will be here soon.”
I could justify buying a backpack with a flap.
I could justify buying an orange and maroon backpack, with the intention of making it even more obnoxious through the wonder of appliqué.
I cannot justify buying a backpack that can’t hold a normal work laptop.
I mean, what the hell? Who makes a giant backpack that can only hold an ultrabook?
@whogots - imho something needs to have an internal volume of at least 10 gallons to call itself a backpack - these things are one step up from a fanny pack.
It’d be nice to have a picture of someone wearing one for size reference…
@aetris This size should be fine for me. My travel daypack is a basic unpadded 25L Jansport, same as I had in high school except with more space kittens.
That’s sucks andreweller but at least you got something. Mine still says processing. I got a very incompetent response from one of the MEH staff on my last inquiry. Let’s what happens. Thanks for the updates.
So MEH emailed today and said I would get a refund in the next 10 days. So basically they will have held my money for 30ish days with no product or service. Oh well. Thanks everyone for their responses and comments. Good luck with your purchases.

Talk about carrying your baggage around with you—daypack - hopefully not for dearly departed only for departers!
You’d be a complete tool if you used this backpack.
@norman8 I pity the Thule
@hchavers @norman8
The smaller model holds a larger laptop?!
@chellemonkey I have the 23L and it holds my 15 inch laptop fine.
I beg your pardon, but I have the 23L backpack and it fits my 15" laptop just fine!
Today’s fusspot lesson shall be about saying “pore over” (which would have been correct) vs saying “pour over” (which was absolutely not correct).
@UncleVinny
You pour over numbers when you’re looking for a bag to inconspicuously sneak as much soup as possible into the movie theater.
@UncleVinny interesting, did not know. i always thought it was like your eyes are falling on volumes of material. Thanks for the correction.

I keep reading this as “deporter”.
@djslack diaper
The opposite of daypack is not nightpack, it’s hobag.
@mike808 I’d rather buy that tote than this daypack.
@hac @mike808 me too. years ago two close friends and i all had ‘doctor’ nicknames, based on our ability to (usually drunkenly) counsel each other and other friends but simultaneously not following our own good advice. mine was Hobag, MD. i even made it my twitter name - not my handle but the name on the account.

Although I wish to replace my little murse sooner or later, I would prefer something slightly less hideous. No doubt they’re practical though.
@AdmiralDave Strangely, the 21L blue-green sold out first. I realize maybe they only had three, but ditto the hideous critique.
/image look away I’m hideous
How much CRASH can one fit in there?
Asking for a friend.
@therealjrn depends on the granular size of powder
Looks like the straps (and customer service) are weak points. Don’t really want a bag with straps that will start falling apart after 6 months and leave me without a replacement, to boot.
Is it too much to ask for the bags to be shown unzipped? Or do you have a thing against being open to what’s inside?
@hchavers Shhh.
We dont want to …
RELEASE THE KRAKEN
@hchavers Here is the 23L, and here is the 21L
@drumercalzone09 @hchavers Thank you very much
Will these keep my batteries nice and cool in the fridge?
Asking for a friend…
@arrakisforce No, they won’t.
But your mini-fridge inside the fridge will.
The dayglo orange ones are rather … aggressive. But I’m not fond of the mint green or lemon yellow either. Would it have killed them to make something in blue?
@TheFLP hideous colors = cheap on meh
@mollama You say hideous, I say wacky. If you’re stuck in the 90’s, these are awesome.
@mollama @Willijs3
/image one does not simply “get stuck in the 90s”
@TheFLP I dunno, the orangy one is giving me a Scooby Doo vibe.
@TheFLP Id imagine these were the colors that did not sell well, hence the deal Meh is providing us on the bags. I rather like the yellow and gray
When will meh start shipping to hawaii?
@nthain haven’t shipping mine in Calif yet and delivery date range was 24-30. They ain’t gonna make it.
Don’t need another backpack… don’t need another backpack…(repeating nonstop in my head)
Liters? Do I fill it up with water?
@akparker777 - unless you’re looking for a bag to inconspicuously sneak as much soup as possible into the movie theater.

Ordered the yellow and grey 18th for a delivered date of 24-30. They ain’t gonna make it
Has anyone received their backpacks yet from this order? I’m in CA and it still shows processing. Thanks in advance.
@ckulasekere
Oh wow. That’s a long wait on these backpacks. Thanks PlacidPenguin for the response.
I just received my backpack and it was the wrong one. I ordered the 21L but received the 23L one.
That’s sucks andreweller but at least you got something. Mine still says processing. I got a very incompetent response from one of the MEH staff on my last inquiry. Let’s what happens. Thanks for the updates.

Got my bag very quickly and its great. The only issue is the bottom is not protected and I got a whole within 2 weeks of using it.
Love mine. Can I get another one?
