I've been looking at The Satchel Pages website and found myself reading about man-bandoliers for utility. Someone wrote about Star Wars' Chewbacca's utility belt, and I laughed out loud. That deserves a blog entry.
It seems that messenger bags are also "men purses," "bailout bags," and "murses," to name a few alternate terms for a bag a man carries things in. I've been looking for a decent bad to carry to court and think I might have found one for a reasonable price.
Soon, I'll be searching for a reasonably priced diaper bag. I'm narrowing on a canvas/leather bag, or a small timbuk2 messenger. Baby steps...pun.
Threads.Rebelscum.com: Chewbacca's Purse: "What the hell is that thing Chewbacca wears? What does he carry in it? A bigass hairbrush and nail file?
It sure as hell ain't no utility belt or he would have used it to escape from the net trap on Endor. It can't be an ammo belt, or it would have looked pretty damned suspicious for a couple of stormtroopers to be parading an 8-foot wookiee through the Death Star with a sling of ammunition draped over his shoulder. And I know it's not suspenders, 'cause he's got no pants.
Any ideas? To me, this is one of the great mysteries of the Classic Trilogy. Help me out."
