Possibly interesting tidbit:

That brownish bag with the towert logo on it - 11th picture from the top - that would be an old Finnish Army gas mask bag. Sure, these days lots of people use them as shoulder bags and such (as the background of the picture implies), but for me, the idea of a gas mask bag that looks so _happy_… Well. Isn’t there something just a little creepy in that?

This is the kind of thing that you stare at with quiet joy, hoping no one at work sees you smile.
