# Especially when they start cutting into your fingers...
Carrier bags; shit 'em.

# Top Tip: (discovered through practice as a HomeCarer)
Knot the handles together which gives you one big handle on each bag less cutting into your flesh like cheese wire.

I considered getting one of those trolley things old people have, but your idea's far more practical. :D

# That's an epic shopping trolley
they should make them more macho and trendy so that younger people and men aren't put off using them. You could have one in black leather with studs in it and Born to Shop in an Hell's Angel patch

So do lots of other companies too, but because people like North face, anything with north face on it goes for ยฃ50 more than something with out it on :-)

I guess for me, it's a matter of having something that's not going to slice my fingers off, and not going to wrench my arm out of place, a la that thing up there. :D

Hmm, I'm not sure actually. I finished it last night and posted it to reddit. Then this morning I got out of bed and realized "those folks at b3ta would probably enjoy it too!" Next time I make something fab I'll post it here 14 hours before anywhere else to even things out a bit.

# Now I'm suspicious about your other FP, eatcrayons
3 messages on the main board in two years, 2 FPs

either you're quite selective about posting, or you're a plagiarist. which seems a bit silly on B3ta. We don't give prize money, you know. How much satisfaction do you get from posting other peoples work?

do you have any proof that this work is your own. maybe post links to some of the source graphics you used?

I'll admit I'm not a big poster this site but when I make a neat-o gif that I think you all would enjoy I make sure I post it here to get some lovin'. I actually got into the New York Times for my first gif that I posted here!

Here's a screenshot of a Photoshop file of the gif before I merged all of the layers and actually made the gif file: i.imgur.com/gpikD.png

Here's the original gif that I used: i.imgur.com/pbohH.gif

And here's the images where I took the bags from: i.imgur.com/KUTbG.png

I assure you that I made all of the gifs I posted here and if you see them posted anywhere else they were originally posted by me. Sorry for the confusion fellas :(

# we like to heap praise on people
but when we fear we are being manipulated we go all Columbo and get the burning pitchforks ready.

You don't need to show your workings, just stay and chat and join in and stuff, we don't bite, well some of us do, but they've had their shots and they only mean some kind of sexual love by it :)

He didn't need to show his workings, but doing so has given him credibility instead of suspicion.

I understand the distrust at first. Heck, sometimes I don't even trust myself. I stared at myself in the mirror for an hour asking myself if I truly did make this gif. What does it mean "to make?" Who is "I?" What is "me?" I had to leave the bathroom then because my dad had to take a dump.
