The BOND bike, which stand for ‘Built of Notorious Deterrents’, is a name well earned. It features a flamethrower to stop cars from coming too close, an ejector seat to combat bike thieves, a rear caterpillar track to deal with potholes, and a droppable front ski for snow. Sadly, the bike is only a concept piece by U.K. bike insurance company ETA, so don’t expect to see it on the market any time soon. Look for it at Cycle Show 2010.

Ok, every once in awhile I lose my mind and I go on a rant. Today, you get to listen in. WTF is a “clip”? Oh sure , I know what it is, and what Hollywood and the main stream media think it is. But, what it truly is, is a codeword. “Clip” is a word used to evoke certain emotions in an audience; negative emotions. So I immediately know, the second that word is used in a publication, news report, or film that the author has an agenda. Whether they even realize it or not. They are attempting to shock.
I also know that when I overhear a couple of guys at a gun show looking for some “clips” for their gats that they are just as much a part of the problem. They are doing it because they heard it used in a movie or on the news (but chances are good they didn’t read it). It’s “cool”. The term evokes negative emotions and that is the whole point isn’t it? It is, if you are the kind of guy who is looking for “clips”.
It’s all a mindset. “Clips” are bad. Even I think so because the term makes guns look dangerous. And that’s exactly what the gun grabbers want. So, turn it around. Make it work for you. If you find the need to scare off bad guys with a firearm, remember to tell them you have a 30 round “clip” and they will run away in fear. Just make sure yours actually works, in case the other guy bought some at a gun show.

Not sure if this should be featured in a survival or a lingerie catalog, but either way, it will raise eyebrows. The new Emergency Bra combines support, good looks, and in an emergency it converts into two respiratory devices. The $30 price tag doesn’t seem overly exorbitant but as it’s only available in B and C cup sizes we are guessing the average wearer would be swimming in a D cup in gas mask mode. But, what a way to go.
It’s actually been around for awhile but has recently received some revived press coverage and we can see why. The Emergency Bra certainly catches the eye but does it work? We’re not really sure since the makers have not been very forthcoming about technical aspects such as types of filters and particulate size. However, we will know it is a hit if it makes it into the next James Bond film. Oh James…

This pretty much sums up our opinion of recent additions to the “blogosphere”. Thank you Dilbert for saying so much in so little space.
Those jokers at S.O.Tech Staff took the team room humor that pervades a gear sewing shop and combined it with their access to local Hollywood resources to create a video where they can laugh at themselves. Figuring that their customers like the same things they do, they thought they would share. We know that when we asked S.O.Tech’s owner, “Why did you put the holster on the vest like that?†Jim smiled and answered, “Because it looks cool and chicks dig it.†So, Get Some of That and Enjoy.
The DTV (Dual Tracked Vehicle) Shredder was designed by Ben Gulak of BPG Werks. I don’t know if you would call it a “skateboard” or not, maybe it’s more of a scooter. The DTV is somewhat modular. It seems that the steering bar can be replaced with a handheld accelerator module. Additionally, it can be configured for remote control operation. Designed to take up to a 40 degree slope and with a top speed of 30 mph it’s definitely an interesting concept. The down side? It’s powered by MOGAS.
