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.

Demeritwear

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

If you were like me, you were in the Scouts as a kid and part of the deal was earning merit badges.

Demeritwear has come up with a collection of badges to poke some fun at the lighter moments in life. I like quite a few of them but I have decided to share three with you that could very easily be handed out to the team Schleprock* every time he has an ‘incident’.

Demerit Badges can be purchased individually or pre-sewn to hats and shirts.

Schleprock – The guy stuff always happens to. Whether breaking the seemingly unbreakable, getting into inexplicable accidents, or being regularly stabbed by the psycho ex-girlfriend; he is…Schleprock.

Tactical Bacon

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

You read that right, Tactical Bacon. Think about it. It’s sheer genius. I can’t think of much better than bacon, except maybe tactical bacon. Mmmmmm.

It comes already cooked in a can from the masterminds at CMMG and boasts a 10 year shelf life. Get yours today before it’s all gone.

UPDATE: Tactical Pants Blog has some cool video detailing the tactical Bacon experience.

There are some ‘adult’ subtitles in this piece entitled, “Hitler finds out how much the new Bushmaster ACR will cost.” Pure comic genius.

Oh the Irony

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

This has been an ironic week. First I got an email from a serving SF officer complaining about the Velcro all over the ACU. Nothing against his comments, it’s just ironic is all. Next, the Brits adopt a MultiCam offshoot called Multi-Terrain pattern. Immediately the Americans begin crying in their beer over the UK’s fortune and the Tommies start whinging that they adopted it. It seems their complaint is that they have more important things to spend money on than “Gucci” kit. Simply amazing. Who’s the spoiled brat then?

My final ironic moment was that as a rule, the Brits seemed surprised that their combat uniforms are made in China. Complain as we may about Berry, at least we know where our uniforms are made.

a ‘Real’ M-41A Pulse Rifle

Friday, December 25th, 2009

Got a Xenomorph problem? Then here’s the answer; modeled to look like the M-41A Pulse Rifle from the movie “Aliens” is the MAX-41A. Composed of a SWD M-11/9 submachine gun and a Remington 870 short barreled shotgun, it holds 50 9mm rounds via a Sumoi “Coffin” magazine and three 12 gauge, 2-3/4″ shells. That’s two in the magazine and one in the chamber. The MAX-41A also includes a red dot sight and digital shot counter, both of which power on with insertion of the magazine, as well as a collapsible stock.

A Camo House?

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

Yes, a camo house; urban camo, naturally. Ok, so it’s supposed to be UCP, but their colors are a bit off.

The website “Apartment Therapy” recently featured this find in Austin, Texas. I wonder if UCP would blend in.

Thanks to StrikeHold! for the find.
