Zombie Stun Gun

Friday, March 18th, 2016

A23-JAL100ZMB_

I saw one of these in the wild when I was out and about today, and I figured it was worth a post. It’s a personal protection stun gun with a rubberized body, colored zombie green. It comes with an activation key/wrist strap, and is capable of an output of 1 million volts.

Nothing Goes Together Quite Like Tortillas And Chocolate

Sunday, March 6th, 2016

SSD Admin just came back from IWA in Germany, and brought back a new flavor of Ritter Sport, which features bits of tortilla chips mixed in with the chocolate. I haven’t had the chance to try it myself, but at the very least I can say it’s an… interesting choice for a flavor.

An Update On The Red Bull Class Action Settlement

Sunday, February 14th, 2016

Back in October 2014, I wrote a brief article about a class action lawsuit being conducted against Red Bull, and the resulting settlement that you could claim if you qualified as a purchaser of Red Bull products. I put my own claim form in around that time, and eventually it faded from my memory.

Well, yesterday, I received the above package, and was a bit confused about its origin until I opened it up and found a 4-pack of 8.4 oz. cans of regular Red Bull.

Comparatively, EOTech is pretty quick on getting those refunds out on their Holographic Sights.

Massdrop – Tactical Christmas Stockings

Sunday, November 29th, 2015

Massdrop Tactical Stockings

Massdrop is currently having a deal on “Tactical” Christmas Stockings. The stocking itself isn’t new (I have a story on one from last year, and they’ve been around for even longer than that), but the 25%-off MSRP might be an attractive buy to some interested parties. They’re available in Black, Gray, or Tati-Claus Red.

Oh, and you’ll need a Massdrop account to see the page and actually make a purchase, so here’s a screenshot which should serve as a sufficient preview:

if Industries – “First Shot” DL4.4oz Blaster Flask

Monday, November 16th, 2015

DL44+shoot+pouring+2

Insignificant Fish Industries has created a 4.4 oz flask called the “First Shot” based on Han Solo’s DL-44 heavy blaster pistol. The silver muzzle is the flask’s cap and unscrews to be a 1.5oz shot glass. As of now, it is an unlicensed product, so it’s technically unavailable, but here’s to hoping it gets the go ahead for actual production sometime down the line.

Y’know how in Hollywood movies and tv shows where some goober pounds randomly on a keyboard and somehow they produce a long string of code, or hack into a secret Government installation’s computer network? Well, that’s bunk, but don’t fret! There’s a website which allows you to mirror the skills of the greatest of Hollywood hackers. Just pound on your keyboard and long strings of code appear on demand.

Daredevil – Elektra Fight Scene

Wednesday, July 8th, 2015

I wanted to start out my journey to SDDC with a terrible scene from a terrible comic book movie best forgotten: Daredevil.

A few things to note:

1) Yes, it’s even worse than you remember.
2) This is the guy who’s playing Batman.
3) Thankfully, there’s a far superior Daredevil series on Netflix to bleach your eyes with after watching this travesty…

Cannaflage

Tuesday, April 14th, 2015

IMAG3309_1

A reader has sent in info on an interesting camouflage shirt they procured at the Tahoe Hemp Company in Tahoe, CA. The shirt is made of 55/45 Hemp/Organic Cotton, hand-dyed by Divine Tribe in their proprietary Cannaflage pattern. The camo itself is reminiscent of digital Woodland, with cannabis leaves interspersed within the pattern. The reader claims the heavy, natural fibers allow the shirt to work well as a base layer, and although it took several washings to cut down on the scratchy texture, the shirt keeps warm when its cool, cool when its warm, and has great moisture wicking attributes.

RE Factor Tactical – Hand Grenade Dog Toy

Saturday, March 21st, 2015

Hand Grenade Dog Toy

RE Factor has come up with a heavier duty solution for doggie play time. The Hand Grenade Dog Toy is hand sewn from 1000D Cordura and nylon webbing. It features an integrated squeeker, which all dogs love. Although it is made from a durable material, RE Factor states it’s an interactive toy for both dog and owner, and isn’t designed for the sole purpose of chewing. For additional fun, you can pair it with the Pig Sticker Dog Toy, which if you haven’t guessed, is a knife-shaped dog toy.

Made in the USA.
