Always Bring Protection

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

In honor of our 1500th post, we thought we’d do something a little different; make you laugh. Yep, that’s right…1500 posts. In two years we’ve missed publishing one day, and that was a Saturday in order to attend a family reunion. Pretty good track record. This website is the real deal, not some hobbyist copy-cat site set up in order to get free stuff, and we don’t sell useless subscription services for non-existent “insider” content. Every reader gets access to the same stories. So support our sponsors, because they make this experience possible for you.

So without further ado….there’s no nudity or vulgarity here but considering how PC the workplace can be these days we are labeling this NOT Safe For Work. If you are dead set on seeing the gag then click here.

US Cav Introduces the BEER Back

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

For times when discretion is the better part of valor, US Cav is proud to introduce the new BEER Back.

That’s right, a totally self contained personal, hands-free alcohol dispensing unit that allows you to have cold, crisp, refreshing beer – anywhere you go.

Don’t forget the larger Keg Back for those Squad outings! Order now and receive a free chicken wings fanny pack.

Kick Some Ass with a Rolled Up Magazine

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

If you are a fan of our WTF? series of articles then this one is for you. We think we have identified the mother of all WTF?’s and all future articles will be judged against this one. This is awesome!

Professor Ronald Duncan is providing instruction in the art of Hoda Korosu; the art of improvised weaponry. I was actually quite pleased to see this since I have been telling my kids since they were little that you could turn anything into a weapon. I don’t think they really ever believed me until now.

Ever get your ass kicked with a rolled up magazine? Well be careful with this information. It can be dangerous. Seriously, someone (yes it was one of those doubting Thomas children of mine) almost put my eye out earlier. If you do put your eye out, (or anything else) remember, we warned you.

Finally, I gotta say, seeing this guy I immediately think of Pootie Tang and the belt.

Thodio abox

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

We ran across this one on Gizmodo. It’s a speaker system mounted in a .50 ammo box. The speakers light up and it’s lined with vibration dampening material to ensure clear sound. It is iPod ready and integrates a rechargeable battery so that it is self-contained. I mean at 350 euros (Kevlar speakers 475 euros) it’s a real steal right?

Drop That Hookah Pipe

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Normally, I am pretty unimpressed with knockoffs in industry. However, this one came straight from the company being ripped off. Apparently, there is a company named Zenobia selling hookah pipes, in Iraq. Pursuant to this enterprise they are selling a “hookah pipe carrier” that bears a strong resemblance to the SOTech Go Bag. Maybe we’ve stumbled on to the Iraqi version of the violin Case. I can hear the conversation at the checkpoint now, “Of course that’s not a Krinkov in my bag, it’s my hookah pipe silly.” If you want a real SOTech Go Bag, visit www.specopstech.com.
