Who Gives A Shit x Completely Unnecessary


Stop it.

Nobody needs some "old timey" coffee/soup thermos and collaborative holster. The fuck is the holster for? You planning on getting into a soup shoot out in Wholefoods homie?

Never not ever has someone been like "Man, this thermos is tight, but if I just had some other way to hold it,".

Well, if we are inventing more completely useless shit why not just make a bag for your wallet? A clock for your watch? Shoe lace holders?

Now some ol' pussy ass commenter might wanna jump in with their retarded ass two cents and say some shit like "Well, what if someone was going camping and wanted to bring their thermos? Then it sort of makes sense."

Oh, yeah. Great point. I mean when you go camping all you need is a fucking thermos filled with soup and the luxury of having your hands free. That shit might work if you're Bear Grylls and like drinking your own piss, but I imagine if you're going to go actual ass camping you might bring something more than Spaghetti O's and a strap holster.

Read how some taste maker blog struggles to describe the need to actually have this:

"You’d be hard-pressed to find two more iconic American brands than Filson & Stanley, which is really part of the charm of this piece, since it’s something you could envision you grandfather carrying to work each day."

I imagine my grandfather would have maybe had a thermos. I also imagine that in his time if he were to carry it in some over the shoulder holster that his friends would have called him a derogatory term used at the time like "candyass" as in:

"Hey fellas, look at Lowell and his fancy thermos purse. Nice thermos purse you fucking candy ass."

Just for context my grandpa was probably the toughest person I have ever known and smoked 4 packs of cigarettes a day. As far as I know he owned zero thermos purses.

Rest In Peace Dennis Hopper



I thought instead of just doing another RIP post I would at least makes a small tribute to one of the best artists not just one of the best actors, but one of the best artists of the last century.

The dude was a beast of all media.

To this day I will watch Apocalypse Now just for his lines.

You will be missed Mr. Hopper.

Also as a bonus to all you international heads. You probably never saw these Nike commercials because they were about American Football (not*if you just called it soccer there wouldn't be all this confusion). They featured Dennis playing a crazy tripped out umpire named Stanley. That was probably my favorite Nike campaign and really just some of favorite commercials of all time.
