Oct 30 2008Why?: The Samsonite O(MGWTFBBQ)BAG

obag-1.jpg

The Samsonite OBAG is a rolling suitcase in which the two compartments remain level with the ground while the unit is pulled along. Because, let's face it, dizzy clothes are unhappy clothes. It can also easily be dragged up stairs or thrown down an elevator shaft. Unfortunately, high maneuverability comes at a cost: namely storage space. There isn't any. You might as well just pack a tire instead -- that's what I do. Leaves my clothes smelling nice and rubbery. Oh, and what's this -- hello spinner hubcap! *BLING*

Hit the jump for a bunch more pics.

I'd like to fill one of these with cement, then roll it back and forth over Daisy's face.

#9: yes

This thing is yet further proof that money doesn't buy class (or brainz).

Might be cool if it was converted into a robot that just followed you around.

Take off the handle and paint it with some glowing colors and i see this being the prop for a few sci fi movies we will be seeing this summer...

Oh yeah, it would also be better if when you opened it, it made a hiss and white smoke gently poured out.

that's insanely useless, i'm curious how much it weighs EMPTY, go check it in for a flight and you're probably already 3/4 of the way to the 50lbs limit... all that for what, space for a few tshirts?

Poor man's Segway.

man, a round black ACME bomb would fit perfectly inside one of those.

it looks like r2d2 wont be the only peice of useless luggage

Fake!!!

This is an obvious Photoshop job. You can tell its a fake, the shadows are all wrong.

This looks like the April Fools prank Baja played on Max in the movie Never Back Down.

The second one of you goofballs sees a photo that has been worked on you immediately cry that the entire story is fake.

As a person who used to clean up product shots for magazines (before I got a higher paying gig), I can tell you that just because something has been "photoshopped" doesn't mean the product isn't real.
The first 2 shots were obviously cleaned up for promotional use.

The rest of the photos look real enough to me.

@19 wow, welcome to Geekologie. Stay for a while.

so what's up w/ that guy's shoes??

@19, I'm sorry son, but I'm gonna have to take you down to the station.

and the winner of the most pointless up it's own ass award for advancement in stupidity and pointlessness goes to THIS BAG!

Here to accept the Clooney award is Mr Slippy? Mr Slappy? Mr Swenson? Mr Swanson?

@15 it might be a poor man segway but throw some ice and beers in the little storage compartment and your good to go.

Sneakers + jeans + tucked-in collared shirt = whatamess.

p.s #19 - new to the force, I see?

@19: Welcome to the site! I hope ya hang around. This is a tough crowd. They're a bunch of assholes. You'll get used to it.

As for this product.. thing... Wow. It looks interesting. But this is all wrong. Round things do not store efficiently. Does it fit in overhead bins? Even if it does, it must have an awful volume to storage space ratio.

ya its real. man i hate losers who think they know everything and yell fake to sound cool on random internet msg boards. get a life, i know its real cause i have one. ya ya go ahead throw in your come-backs, its what you do to feel better.

Can I shit on / in / over / around /above / below / in between the bag ?
I feel like doing the same on geekologie for putting such shit here.

@ 19 and 27

Welcome and we would all like to just point out that daisy says the same thing every time. and usualy only one post.


good to see she added a second post tothis one though
hi daisy.

Such a lovely bag !!!!
Will the moderator please tell us where these bags are available.

I work as an air hostess, may be I'll draw more passengers
if I use a bag like this. We're not having too many people on our flights these days. Probably because people are bored of seeing our old regular bags.

Can I also model for samsonite, I am sure there are a good company.
Will they pay me for showing my long legs? To compliment the suitcase.

I need a suitcase to put my cat in. This one looks perfect! I'll take 2!

I wonder.... hmmm.... maybe, just maybe....

Daisy might be FAKE!
Come on, now Daisy! Fess up! You're a bot, aren't you?
j/k (unless of course you ACTUALLY are a bot).

Happy Halloween everybody!

p.s. - Fish, stop posting the stupid H & S pics! Next time you get the urge to once again go back on your promises... go post the Olivia Munn (from G4TV) doing things with mayonnaise instead.

ok, the p.s. probably should have been posted on the other site, but you nuts all read each others pages, right?

lol, i guess the jokes on me. but it really is a usefull case, my bor uses it to carry animals around the lab, and i like it to carry ammo here to there works pefect as long as you dont need alot of room

it kinda looks like a f***ed up segway or a giant retarded yoyo
