I overheard some messengers at Critical Mass discussing a urine sample delivery, I guess that beats blood and tissue?

I forgot I had 2 humongous law books on me a couple weeks ago. they had to of weighed like 40lbs a book. it was insane.

Umbilical cord caked in **** along with a woman's cervix, half cancerous. Both ground scores.

Pft. You always have cervixes.

I once saw a guy on a bike with a small couch on his back.

bump.

Tonight I had to transport 16 fragile flute champagne glasses from my restaurant to my restaurant without breaking the glasses. that was a pretty good challenge. There was a lot of traffic due to the local community festival, so it made it fun.

lets see here, poster sized packages we call mounts that some times are like 36 x 36 or some ridiculous sizes that act like sails in the wind. i also carried about 85 pounds in my backpack(reload) that consisted of a copy box and 3 pretty hefty sized rolls.

I pedicabbed 3 200+ dudes 3 miles uphill once. They tipped me out $50 and made it almost worthwhile

I plan on moving most of my apartment today via bike. except the big stuff.

a fake vibrating vagina not in a box to a solicitors firm.
2 cheques for over €million (return)
bring back a dvd to the video shop
a six pack to the biggest newpaper in ireland.
2 poster tubes a least 4 foot high and about 9 inches sqare.
i letter to the postoffice that was addressed to a place on my route to the post office and i had to RETURN the dockets from the post office to the company.
some sort of biohazardous polestyrene box.
a wedding dress.
thants all i can think of for now.

Not a mess but carried a 24 pack of water 5 miles and the this about 8 miles to the shop and then back to a post office:

largest at work was probably a 70-75 pound gift basket. weirdest is hard to say. i did some nba finals tickets a few weeks ago. some townes van zandt demo tapes. a $4 million check. someone's homework....

Not a messenger, but I've carried some awkward loads. the best were probably a wheelchair, and an 8 foot long pine 4x4. Also a couple of times I've carried boxed bikes down to the post office.

the goldberg mail! it was a daily run. $1.75 in your pocket, or something dumb like that. i was pulling that bastard tub once in the rain. the tub caught a pothole and i spilled a crapload of lawyer's mail at monroe and wabash.

weirdest tags: 2 bottles of champagne, a pack of nudie cards, and a 3 foot tall rendition of the eiffel tower to a hotel guest, during the sox world series celebration madness. heavy ass box with an umbrella sticking out of it. box of rocks. box of feathers.

not a messenger. . .but my best load was strapping a bass drum to my bag and riding home with it. not heavy, but pretty big and awkward. i've also toted a djembe around which was both heavy and awkward but didn't have the visual appeal of the bass drum.

Not a messenger, but I work at a gym as a trainer. One friday my buddy calls me up and tells me he needs a couple plates (45lbs. each, probably about 2 ft. diameter) and a couple of 25lb. weight plates so we could train the next day. I loaded them all into my bag and proceeded to ride home 4miles uphill. Not ****ing fun. My shoulder went numb w/ 140lbs. of weights back there. The chrome bag did hold up pretty well though.

pedaling a cab uphill alone sucks. Luckily I pedicabbed in a fairly flat city.

There are messengers on this forum, I thought everyone wore those bags for style??

there are courier bags and careeriour bags. the careeriour bags are over couple hundred dollars and you can fit a small village inside, or a copy box and some. Unless your paying rent with a bike, bag and radio, you don't want or need something so big. There was a kid at the naccc's that had probably the largest custom bag I've seen, he was from chicago? mabe, I don't really know, but he had a huge bag that he could fit a small, but full grown, skinny adult male inside, all of him except his knees and up and head, and ride with this grown man on his back.

Pedicabbed three linebacker-sized dudes and their equally corpulent girlfriends a mile or so after an ASU game. Had my ass slapped my many a drunken ASU student, not to mention a few cougars out for a night on the town in Phoenix. Rode a mile and a half with a dude's money to a gas station, bought gas cans and filled them with gas, took them back to dude and his outtagas car where it was parked illegally. After a Suns game I hauled a drunk guy less than half a mile to a hotel so he could sleep it off--he gave me a C-note. Broke a derailleur cable in Tucson and hauled a few people up that goddamn hill from the U of A stadium to the parking lots across Speedway stuck in the middle ring and the second cog from the small end of the cassette. Drunk Red Sox fan gave me $40 to trade ballcaps; his was Sox, mine was ASU. I think he thought I was a Diamondbacks fan.

****, I'm gonna miss pedicabbing. But my hat's off to the messengers who dodge traffic with file boxes balanced on their bars.

that was pretty amusing. i don't think that guy was from chicago. super rookie from mpls has the biggest mess bag i've ever seen. he had it built to fit two banker's boxes. i could probably crawl inside with a case of beer and fall asleep. thing is ridiculous

what!?!?!! tvz demos?
