Gotta Ditch the Fanny Pack, Dude

Fanny Pack

This is great if you’re trying to create a singularity of pure geekness that will open up a portal to an alternate universe where they’re still making episodes of Reboot. But if there are even two working neurons in the style portion of your brain, the same neurons that explained that Mr. T’s haircut won’t look as good on you, then you’re going to want to pass on this one. On the other hand, if you’ve burned those neurons out through years of cosplay, more power to you. Just don’t stand near me. —Lore Sjöberg Gotta Ditch the Fanny Pack, Dude (Wired)

Ditch the fanny pack?

Over my cold, dead, fanny.

Update: My sister just threatened me with this.

  • Yes, Bobby, the NRA slogan is the cultural reference I was making there. The implicit violence was the reason I was attracted to it.

  • Dennis, "Over my cold, dead, fanny" sounds much like Charlton Heston when he held a rifle above his head at an NRA meeting and said, "...pry it from my cold, dead, hand." I remember that because Jon Stewart had a field day with it on The Daily Show. HIlarious!

  • No, it's the same old thing.

    I've been looking for a new one -- some of the lining on the inner compartments have come apart -- but alas, no place around here caters to the helplessly nerdy.

  • If I'm not mistaken, I saw you with a different styled utility belt object the other day. Did you get a new one?
