Wallet that says Bad mutha fucka

How much would you pay for a wallet that says Bad Mutha Fucka?

My mate John reckons fifty quid. I'd go up to about ten.

Not a cent. Or a penny. Or whatever. I'm sure it comes with a No Fear shirt, too...

The badmuthafuckaness is paramount, fearlessness is a whole nother issue.

Is there such a word as 'nother'? Well there is now, anyway. Ho hum.

04:07 / 16.01.03

Is it the one from the movie, or just a cheap knock-off version that will fall apart after a month?

Obviously, I'd see the former as an investment. I'd bid for a while, but my current wallet can only take me so far with its measly contents.

How much is in it?

06:30 / 16.01.03

You can actually get them for £20, I've not used a wallet since I was about 13 a time when I probably only ever had a couple of quid at the most.

You can buy them here though -

A scary site if there ever was one, although I do quite like the two-tone jacket from fight club (brown though)

What do you mean you don't use a wallet, Bear? Where do you put your money then? Or do you just leave those dollar bills where the nice gentlemen put them?

07:47 / 16.01.03

Um yeah the Gentlemen.

Nah like I said before I actually own London, it's like being the Godfather I get everything I need for free.

Or

I'm such a powerful magician that I keep my money in the astral and just put my hand in and pull it out when I need it.

Or

My pocket

What hass it got in its walletses, my preciousss...?

09:47 / 16.01.03

Money clip, Bear? Or pocketses?

No, wouldn't buy a bad mother fucker wallet at any price. Besides, I have an Animal brand one that my sister got me years ago, and I like it very much, plan to use it til it falls apart.

I suppose if I wanted an everyday object which would immediately convey certain aspects of my personality to other people - such as the fact that I didn't have one, and was going to die alone without ever having had even the teensiest amount of sex of any kind - then such a wallet would serve this purpose admirably.

So: invaluable. Priceless, even.

MRAOW! 'ark at 'er!

Personally, I wouldn't want one, because SWEARING IS WRONG.

And I'll kill any motherfucker that disagrees with me.

(Note... that wasn't swearing, despite what you may think. Anyone can disagree with me. As long as they're not having sexual relations with their mother. Actually, it was still swearing anyway, wasn't it? Bollocks.)

OKAY. You don't PAY for shit like that. You pop a cap in someone's ass and boost the motherfucker. (My God, I must be the butchest man in Hackney with language like that.)

10:10 / 16.01.03

Bit harsh maybe Flyboy?

10:17 / 16.01.03

thats a damn ugly wallet.

10:36 / 16.01.03

D'oh. You already said. Pocketses.

Regrettable Juvenilia

11:03 / 16.01.03

I'm harsh but fair.

And it's like anyone here actually owns one... do they?

11:22 / 16.01.03

I have 10 that's why I got upset. Nah it's just I was seeing it as no different than owning a movie t-shirt or even a band t-shirt. Showing your allegiance and all that. Ok maybe not it is a bit shite.

The Return Of Rothkoid

11:28 / 16.01.03

Yeah. Mine says "Suave Young Thing".

In a parallel universe somewhere, a group of gangsters is having a similar discussion about how much they'd pay for a baseball cap that reads Pale SkinnyWhite Guy That Never Leaves The House. Right now! Seriously.

13:26 / 16.01.03

I dunno - I think having a band /movie tshirt says "I dig this band/movie so much Im willing to pay to be a walking advert"

seeking to buy replicas of things in movies/used by bands when its a pretty shit thing (like a cheap, crap, ugly wallet featuring a naughty word) is a bit more creepy and sad, perhaps even borderlines on obsessive

The Natural Way

13:32 / 16.01.03

I'm happy to be a walking advert if something's good.

13:35 / 16.01.03

Only product I'm interested in advertising is myself. On the way out.

14:32 / 16.01.03

I don't need a wallet that advertises my bad-muthafuckaness. I have a Ramones wallet, like all good hearted people.

14:34 / 16.01.03

Three words:

I'm with stupid.

14:35 / 16.01.03

But how do you render an arrow pointing inwards?

15:13 / 16.01.03

I have a Ramones wallet, like all good hearted people.

Where did it come from and how much is it?

(side note: I still find the wallet gag in Pulp Fiction absolutely hysterical, and am somewhat annoyed by it's complete ruination thanks to endless repetition by losers .. Thing is, I know that if it was some obscure movie barely anyone had seen, said cheap-ass product would be about the coolest thing ever - yet another annoying example of pop cultural context fucking with our heads..)

Old brown-eye is back

15:33 / 16.01.03

Surely, said cheap ass product wouldn't be the coolest thing ever because it would be a reference to something barely anyone would have seen and therefore no one would actually recognise it. Continue your dangerous rationale to its logical conclusion and you get into a situation where in order to be 'cool' people are actually indulging in a creative act in order to come up with their own hilarious walletty slogans.

How's about:

My other penis is a vagina

Thank you all for replying - I've had a good laugh, just what I need first thing when I come into work. Big kiss to you all!

Second thoughts, I don't think I would pay for it myself actually. I'd make one. And it would say something more reflective of my personality like "puppy likes cuddles". heh heh heh ...

The Ramones wallet came from a record store here in sunny Brisbane, Australia. I believe it cost somewhere between $10 and $15, Australian. I got it a couple of years ago, and the picture on the front (the picture from the cover of Rocket To Russia) has pretty much worn off now. It is still identifiable as a Ramones wallet upon close inspection, though. I'm not sure if you can still get them around these parts, but I did recently see a store that had a wallet with the picture from the cover of We're Outta Here on it. Unfortunately, that picture is pretty crappy.

pointless and uncalled for

15:25 / 17.01.03

After due consideration I have decided that I just couldn't pull off a wallet like that. I will however place a ten quid order for a "pathetic perapatetic" wallet.
