Wonder if you can overclock (or equivalent) a handbag. Any handbag owners willing to step forward and give us some tips about getting more performance out of your stock handbag?

I don't know about overclocking, but my gf can overstuff one. Talk about putting 10 pounds of sh!t into a 5 pound bucket. :?


(By the way gf = girlfriend. My family is close, but not that close Jack. :) )

So that is a 100% overload with stock handling and straps?

Impressive.

I have no idea where you get the impression from that I am mad at them. I've never used them, being from the UK, and aren't likely to soon either.




I'm sorry, I was really responding to tica's posts. I'm still shaky on the mechanics of this message board. It just says in reply to you because your post was the last post in the thread when I started posting.

You have no idea how much I would like to use that line, but I think I would have to explain it - and explaining always kills the sarcasm. :cry:

Why do you call it silly? Whats silly about purses? Dont you realize how important purses are to the survival of the human race? Without purses to carry their "faces", 99% of women would never come out of their abodes. If they didnt come out, they couldnt meet men. If they didnt meet men, they'd never pro-create. No pro-creation = no human race, ergo, no purses = no human race, and, as such purses cant be silly. :wink:

Peace

This logic is infallable. We owe our very existence to Coach designer handbags.

Ahh, but its a double edged sword. Purses (and shoes) are also the reason men(US) have a 7 year shorter life span than women, as men must work ever harder to afford a never ending supply of purses/shoes of an ever increasing value :wink:

Let's not forget bigger houses with larger closets that quickly get engorged with volume shoe purchases. "Look, I saved 30%" not realising she could have saved the additional 70% by not buying....

Is there some sort of Prada vs whoever etc etc fanbagism that we can argue about?

Seeing as this is a subject clearly none (or at least, only a select few) of us have any knowledge about, for once, we'd be forced to actually research the subject properly, and post clear, concise, documented evidence of why one bag is superior to the other.

After this can follow informed debate about the relative stockmarket performance of the companies in question. We can then debate future developments and new platforms.

After this, we can discuss how manufacturers of "contents" can exploit these new devices. Of particular interest may be lipstick, hairbrush, mirror, purse etc to name but a few. NOTE: extreme splinter fanboyism may well emerge at this point

We may well then discuss how any of the aforementioned groups may consider buying any of the aforementioned groups.

At this point, it is safe to assume someone will then voice an opinion that they like one of these groups 'just because they do'.

A fight will ensue.

And thus, the circle is complete.

I forgot to mention one important benefit of discussing handbags here - the auto-forum advert bot gets confused with some words, and either doesn't link at all, or posts something quite out of context, making the post even more amusing.

Perhaps lcandy would care to start a thead on the subject as being a female, she must be a born expert. We can bring in the she-male puppet MsrD/MrsBytch(aka MMM) to fight the opposite side of the debate. :wink:

This logic means of thinking was naturally selected out of the gene pool through the evolution and ascention of woman, I believe this logic gene is actually located on the Y chromosome.

Jack



:lol: Good point.

Might also be the "Silly Glands". The bigger they are, the "silly-er" the logic. Might be stereotyping, might be true (One could make it his life's work testing this theory).

:) :) Well, maybe I am too harsh, I was in Fry's the other day, walking up to the MB/CPU/HD area, where I saw a Fry's guy standing and another customer. The customer guy looks up at me and says, 'hey look at this 1 Terabyte NAS systems for 349 with 100 buck rebate' My heart literally skipped a beat and and looked at the Fry's guy and said 'is this true', he smiled and shook his head affirmative, needless to say I bought one on the spot --- similar to a 30% off pair of shoes....

But I guarantee you I will get more milage out of my NAS than my wife would out of her shoes.

This deal was so good, I went back to get another one :) .... only to find out that there was a misprint in the advertisement and they were honoring it until they could print up a legal correction and post it at the front of the store..... hence, I was nothing more than one lucky fella at the right place at the right time.

Jack



:mrgreen:
I wonder if you can find a store that honors the competitions ads....

Wife might understand if you tell her your "accessorizing" your system....As long as the colors coordinate, of course. :P

Jack,

Might be cheaper to fly to Korea and pick up a couple of them in person....

I was able to buy my wife a Dunne & Burke and a couple of Coaches for about $100.00 US.

Luckily for me someone else was flipping the bill for that airfare....

Still might be a thought for ya :) In the long run may be much cheaper (especially after establishing a shipping contact from over there!!!

PS pick yourself up some Starter/Nike/Rebok gear as well :)
