November 20th - "What's in it's pocketses?"

Funny thing about pbase and PAD'ers... movements, or themes, get started and spread around. The community seems to love
and thrive on these things. Sometimes it's sock puppets, or SP's in the nude, or food shots, or the ABC's. All kinds of things.

I've been busy at work lately and it's been a while since I've really had an opportunity to just peruse what everyone is doing.
Well, I noticed the latest thing seems to be pictures of the contents of your pockets/handbags. Looks like it all started
somewhere in England, then migrated from there.

Sounds like fun, so what the heck? Only I don't carry that much in my pockets. Just my keys, wallet and a handkerchief (and
you don't want to see that!). So here's my take on the subject. This is the content of what was in my briefcase tonight. I carry
the damned thing with me everywhere, along with my camera bag. Some of the things you'll find here: A jury summons, a
flashlight in a sheath, a pocket knife (multiplier), a tupperware container for the cereal I had for breakfast on friday, a tin of Altoids, a
sample ballot from the god-forsaken election and, of course, various electronic accoutrement.

Is that enough?

I'm pretty sure that last Friday's breakfast is a 'first' in this particular series...

Yep, we who do PaD are definitely influenced by fad! Mostly because it gives us an idea for a photo!

Btw - I want an iPod! :)
