I'm on the right in the green stripey.

Wow, talk about a feeling of deja vu. I could swear that one of their photos in the gallery is my old boss Rick Goodman. I would almost lay a paycheck on it.

/Nice stripey

Is it really a picture of your butt? Your oh so famous bag seems to be in the way.

Well, that too.

Cool, now I can put a face to your name.

Oh, er, never mind.

Looks like a good time was going on though!

So that's what his avatar is. I've always wondered what it was supposed to be.

I just had a where's waldo moment.

Um... you do realize there are 2 green stripeys on the right.... right?

To paraphrase The Onion, stop staring at Malfred's tote.

Are you a Gundam?

Go cosplay!


BTW you do realise that the back of your head is in the bottom right hand corner of the mirror?
So you aren't a vampire.

Go manpurse!

Correction, one is plaid! (and that's pronounced play-d)

There are 2 green stripeys, and 1 plaid, all vaguely in a row. From all the manpurse hatin' though, I think I can figure which one's Malf.

Nice donkey.

Ya man, bag's in the way. You have no butt.

Maybe due to some misfortune, his but was detached and placed in the bag, now he must carry it with him wherever he travels? Hence the manpurse? Your guess is as good as mine

The Legend of Malfred. It's like Sleepy Hollow but with cheeks instead of the whole head.

To see malfred's face is to know your doom.

He cannot be fully photographed lest the camera melt.

Only his divine avatar on earth, known as the "Murse" can be seen without driving men to passion.

FYI....

The dark striped guy on the left is Clay who played Orks all three days. The plaid shirt guy is Jason L who played Orks on Saturday. The guy behind Clay is Jason D. who played Orks on Saturday. The guy behin Jason L. is Brian B. who played Eldar all three days. All are HAAWGS members from Huntsville, Alabama.

Which leaves Malfred with his manpurse...

Speaking of which, where did you get that manpurse? I want to see it fully and I'm willing to pay for it.

He can't disclose that, as he'll lose a fraction of his power.


Unless he wants to share the blame, of course...

Until I got a new work monitor with brighter display, I was certain Malf's avatar was a pokemon or something. True story

If I were a rich man, it'd be one of these:

Instead, I picked it up at a Chicago purse store downtown
called That's Our Bag or something. I think it's a knockoff.

Still, I think it's the fact it's such an odd choice for an avatar that it makes it interesting.

Malf, Dakka's resident manpurse trendsetter!

It's a complete rip-off of a Crumpler. I thought it was a Crumpler until you said it wasn't.

I don't know if the original topic is as creepy as the fact that we now have 2 old-timers who are manpurse connoisseurs.

I have been a bit of a bag slag for years. I had a manpurse back in the 80s before most of you lot were more than a twinkle in your dads' eyes.

I have two Crumplers. One's a big 17-inch laptop bag -- the "Crisp Suit" and the other is a photo equipment bag I can't remember the name of. Good points about these bags are they are tough and offer good protection and carrying capacity, and the colourways are attractive and varied. The bad thing is they don't have handles so you must always carry them slung, and they are not optimally shaped for airline carry on luggage limits.

Since my Crisp Suit is a bit battered and I don't have a 17-inch laptop I'm thinking of buying a different one. However I might upgrade to a smart but casual document briefcase, if I can find the right one in tan leather.
