Okay so I need a man bag, but not a man bag, and not a rucksack.
I carry with me:
Books / Comics
Crayons
A4 Pad
Possibly Laptop.
Any ideas? Ideally shoulder strap and super casual looking -- what do you use?

It's brown and green.
Personally I go for leather over plastic.

Looks like something you'd carry if you were wearing tights, had buckles on your shoes and a feather in your cap.

I use a laptop bag/shoulder bag I got for $6 on clearance at American Eagle six years ago. It's held up nicely.
Seriously, though - just go to Target. They have all kinds of trendy looking manbags there for under $30.

Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.

For some reason when you said "man bag" I thought you meant "man-sized bag" or a bag to hide a man inside of (sized to fit or otherwise). Carry on...

I just went to uncrate.com because I remembered they once had Jack Bauer's man purse, but the first new item they had listed was this:
I think I prefer it to the Bauer man purse.

Heck, just go to China. You can get that fancy $400 bag you were showing for around $30.

But it wont be made of the same material, and it will be lopsided, and fall apart in a week.

Ah, you have killed someone and you need to dispose of the body.
Check here:
Body Bags on ThomasNet.com
There are many options, shallow grave, burning, chemical treatments to get rid of smells...
Best of luck!
Call one of OJ's lawyers, just in case!

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

What an ugly website. It literally hurt my eyes looking at it.

Then bargain better - you have to get them to bring out the good stuff.

I use a North Face Yavapai. Great pack, my MBP fits in great, and it's cool.
There's plenty of room for lots of stuff, and it compresses really well when it's not full.

I was referring to the chinese knock-offs of guitars. There is no "good stuff" when it comes to Chinese guitars.
