Meanwhile, on Y!M...

kazzik: Today I saw a girl who had a couple hundred saftey pins attatched to her bag straps..
kazzik: Not pinned on, just around the little thing sting-type straps.
kazzik: Now my question is...
kazzik: why?
kazzik: Has there been a huge saftery pin shortage forecast that I'm blissfully unaware of?
zorac: If there has been, then I've certainly missed the memo. Not that I actually have any use for safety pins these days.
kazzik: My other theory is that she's a member of the st johns ambulance people
kazzik: and needs them in case of an emergency where she has to secure dozens of little slings
zorac: Hmmm. That's certainly a possibility, altough even then it would seem to be a case of being just a little bit overly prepared.
kazzik: Perhaps she is merely lopsided and needs large amounts of metal attatched to the other side of her to keep her balanced?
zorac: Or maybe she has a large magnet at home which she hangs her bag from and the safety bins are there so it has something to attract.
kazzik: I'd like to think someone mistook her for a voodoo doll at some point in her life, except as I said they're not actually IN the bag as such, just neatly stacked on one of the straps.
zorac: Well maybe there's a voodoo doll *in* the bag, and she's just got all those pins on the strap ready to plunge into it.
kazzik: She could be a secret alchemist and determined to change them all to gold.
kazzik: Although what one would do with several dozen solid gold saftey pins escapes me
zorac: Maybe she has the Philosopher's stone right ther in the bag!
kazzik: I suspect she'd leave them attatched to her bag
kazzik: I wouldn't be suprised >:0 the safteypins are clearly a sign of evil
zorac: Indeed! You just have to change a couple of letters and they becom Satanypins!
zorac: (wow. am much with the typos tonight...)
kazzik: Sod spelling. it's eluding me also.
kazzik: I fear these Satanypins
kazzik: and yet at the same time feel there's a market which could be capitalised on
zorac: I feel an icon coming on...
kazzik: Mujah :D

She was obviously a member of the Norwegian underground. During WW2 they used the visible placement of a non-functional safetypin as a token of their membership.

Actually, I'm not kidding.

I really should stop being surprised by the LiveJournal community's ability to come up with a rational explanation for anything...
