UZI TACTICAL DEFENDER PEN

The DNA catcher is moot if I can put this implement through my assailant's temple!

Piranha Pocket Tool

Like the fish for which it's named, the PIRANHA ($49) can help you get the job done quickly: tightening screws, loosening bolts, prying things open and popping the tops on your favorite beverages. The PIRANHA is a single-piece, multi-purpose pocket tool that is constructed from heat-treated and corrosion-resistant S30V Stainless Steel with a built-in neoprene double-ended driver bit holder. But can it dress a cow in under 2 minutes?

Sawmerifenchax? Haxifenchaw?

Whatever you call it, it's freaking awesome! I don't know jack about Brook & Hunter, but supposedly they made the Mo-Tool wood-inlay axe with hand crafted red oak wooden handle of the highest quality. Mo-tool axe includes screwdrivers, blades, knives, can opener, wire cutter, pliers, file and wrench! Despite it's lame name, it looks like a great tool for hammering, cutting, or killing around the home, car, boat or camper. Hunt. Fish. Camp. Survive. Good luck.

Citizen's Arrest!

These witty little notes will get you slightly less of an ass-kicking than keying someone's car.

See examples here. Buy here. Enjoy!

Give H1-N1 the Shake

Sick poster! :-) Be safe! Don't vaccinate. Stock up on elderberry juice.

Now THAT'S a Knife

The guys Ethan Becker of BK&T and John Benner of TDI put their heads together to create the KA-BAR Becker(Poor Benner couldn't get his name in there? Maybe if he'd had on of these strapped to his side he could have.) Tac Tool. It smashes! It bashes! It prys! It hammers! And, yes, it even cuts – assailants in half

Student/Ninja Kills Burglar/Idiot

Probably shouldn't lunge at a sword-wielding vigilante, moron. Baltimore Mayor(Sheila Dixon) says that she's "concerned that the students ... will call 911". I'm glad she realizes that ninjas can take care of themselves -- and clean up the streets. Maybe the cops need some ninjas. Read the full story here: baltimoresun.com

Southwest Airlines Recruits Kids for Child Labor

I've posted about Southwest before, because their the best airline IMO. And now I think I know why their able to get the edge on their competition. And at this point, I'd put nothing past them! Do you see what they are doing to these kids! As a pair of little girls walked the aisle passing out treats, I was able to snap a shot of one of them. Oh, the audacity! (Did anyone even know what this word meant before Obama got into politics?)

What a great way to get the kids involved in your airline(and just in general giving them something to do), out of their parent's hair, and make a buck for SW. I wonder what airline these two little girls will want to fly next time they travel? It's a shot in the dark, but I'd guess SW.

Might be a good way for SW to recruit too! :-)

Eggciting!

Probably way to many egg jokes out there, but I was so excited to see these after almost giving up all hope that our two chicks(we'd raised since Easter) would ever begin to lay. I'd pretty much written them off and only "checked" for eggs whenever I'd change their hay -- not that they needed it for any reason. I was really beginning to resent them. It had been about a week since I'd changed their hay so I thought I should probably change it while I was down there feeding them. And when I opened the door ... surprise! Ten of 'em! Ten eggs right there! Jackpot! I couldn't believe it! After five months and 16 days, those two little babies laid 10 eggs in a week. It was a fine morning on Monday.

Fudge-covered Pretzel Sticks -- Yum!

Where could there possibly be an innuendo!? I couldn't eat this with a straight face!
Whaaaaaat??! :-)

Stained Chimney Reputation

Saw this sign exiting the highway onto Broadway. It's, what appears to be, one of Ambassador Painters' yard signs that a disgruntled customer spray-painted on an orange warning triangle and affixed an 8.5"xll" sheet of paper that reads "STAINED MY CHIMNEY!"

I love seeing stuff like this. Guerrilla marketing from the consumer -- I mean, I don't think ad agencies can come up with this stuff! Unless an agency did(for one of Ambassador Paintings' direct competitors), in which case, that's really smart! In either case, it's awesome!

The next time I need my house painted, I know just who not to call. And if enough people have that same experience, do you think they'll survive for long? I don't. Good luck Ambassador, and I hope your PR dept is taking notes.

They make things simple.

Space Invaders on Builing

Dag-Blasted Teenagers! That's awesome!

Milky Way Galaxy Over Texas

Everything's bigger in Texas; that's right, even the Milky way. Watch a time-lapse video of the center of the Milky Way Galaxy rising over Texas. Beautiful!

Take the Power Back

On Memorial Day I think a lot of us tend to think of American soldiers from the recent past. Let me encourage you to remember soldiers who died before Iraq, before Vietnam, before even the Civil War(or War of Northern Aggression), all the way back to the American Revolution — where we took the power back.

Happy Memorial Day!

Survival Straps

A real man bracelet is made from military-issue 550 paracord. Survival Straps ($18-$25) have a tight braid work that fits 15' to 20' of cord into a bracelet. If you find yourself in an unexpected emergency requiring strong rope, this could save you. If/when you do use your Survival Strap, send it back, with your story, and they'll braid it back to new for you, for free.

Hybrid Hummer

Ha. A hybrid Hummer(see below left tail light).

I like it, man!

Armageddon! It’s the End of the…

Jesus?? He didn’t come this evening, but man what an amazing sky!

Contrast

What a cute little vintage mini – for this monster truck to smash!

iSkin Saved iPhone from Serious Road-rash

Since I didn't have another camera on me, I had to re-staged this. But this is where(on the roof of my Corolla) I found my iPhone after driving .9 miles to the library. Apparently in the shuffle of getting the fam in the car, I'd set it up here and forgotten about it. iSkin(along with the Almighty) had my back. Thanks!
