An oldie but a goodie. Drunk Ewoks are always good for a laugh, but I think that Al Roker’s Han Solo hair steals the show, to be honest.

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011The SEAL Who Shot Bin Laden
Friday, May 20th, 2011For the SEAL who shot Bin Laden, discretion and secrecy is of the utmost importance, but those are values one is quick to forget when surrounded by copious amounts of alcohol and awe-struck admirers. I’m most impressed how he still manages to ham up something as completely huge as taking out UBL. ‘Lt. John McClellan – Real American Hero’ indeed.
Super-Penetration Shovel
Thursday, May 19th, 2011
Honestly, I’m really posting this for the name. It completely caters to my often immature sense of humor. But, behind the silly title lies a pretty useful digging implement. The Super-Penetration Shovel *giggle* is all steel with a tapered point blade and fully sharpened sides. It’s designed for digging in hard, compacted, or heavy clay-like soils. It also comes with an optional rubber foot pad, which rests on either the left or right, and a 10-in Mill file, to keep your shovel extra sharp. Plus, it’s made in the USA, which I always like to see.

German News Channel Mistakes Star Trek Maquis Emblem For Actual SEAL Team Six Emblem
Friday, May 13th, 2011
German news channel N24 confused the actual emblem of SEAL Team Six with an emblem made by a member of Maquis Forces International, a Star Trek fan organization based on the Maquis, itself an organization featured in The Next Generation*, Deep Space Nine*, and Voyager*. Based simply on how cool it looks, I could see why N24 would settle with the (unintentional) imposter emblem. However, the inclusion of a phaser, a Klingon skull, bat’leth swords, ‘SEALS’ instead of ‘SEAL’, and the word Maquis should have been enough evidence to point towards some kind of error. After all, SEAL Team Six did use the HK416 in the Bin Laden takedown, so proper recognition from a German news channel isn’t uncalled for. It’s still funny, though.
*These are all Star Trek series that nobody cares about.

Major tip of the hat to David Liu for bringing this to my attention.
Major Flashbang Training Fail!
Friday, May 13th, 2011Norwegian troops with G3 variant rifles were training when the throw man doesn’t quite make it with his flashbang. This is exactly the kind of thing training is for, and hey, they got a good laugh out of it. I know I did :).
Batman Captured In Michigan
Thursday, May 12th, 2011
A comic geek dressed as Batman decided to go full-on vigilante in Michigan, but was caught by police early yesterday morning while hanging off the ledge of a building. Although his climbing skills weren’t up to snuff, he was prepared to rumble: besides a utility belt that contained a collapsible baton and a can of pepper spray, he was also rocking a pair of lead-lined gloves. No information on him having any batarangs or world-class martial arts skills, I regret to say. Because of his obviously beneficial service to the community, he was charged with possession of dangerous weapons in addition to trespassing. Just goes to show you how dangerous, under-trained idiots get very little respect these days. Or antiperspirant for that matter.

iPad 2: Will It Fit In Your Pants?
Thursday, May 5th, 2011A question I’m sure we’ve all been asking is which pair of tactical pants will fit an iPad 2. Even if you haven’t, Tactical Pants Blog took it upon themselves to answer this burning question, and the results are quite clear: if you own a pair of the discontinued Blackhawk! Warrior Wear pants, then you also have the distinct honor of owning a back pocket large enough to hold an iPad 2.
Sure, you can’t sit down, but simply pulling the iPad out before descending solves that issue. After all, if you don’t have your iPad in your hands at all times while in a state of rest, then why even own one?
However, if you missed out on the perfect iPad 2 carrier, don’t fret. Genuine Gear’s Lightweight Tactical Pants and Kitanica’s Lightweight Tactical Pants are almost as good. Of course, you could always take a third option and buy a tactical bag to put your much treasured Apple product in, but that’s just me.
NMAWorldEdition Does Osama’s Assassination – NSFW
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011NMAWorldEdition’s take on the Assassination of Osama Bin Laden. It’s as horribly inaccurate as it is extremely entertaining, virgin pig rape and all. Gotta love that Taiwanese craziness 🙂
Thanks to PredatorBDU for the tip.
EDIT: It seems sometime after the article was written that the video was made private. I’m sure a quick internet search will yield some positive results for those interested parties who want to see the vid in question. It’s worth a look.
Doomsday Bunkers
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011Harkening back to the days of the Cold War and the backyard fallout shelter, there’s been a recent insurgence of people building and/or purchasing space in doomsday bunkers. Companies, like Vivos, charge upward to $50,000 per head for a secured residence in one of many pre-built underground shelters, and that’s only if you apply (and qualify) for membership first. There are other options as well, including shelters modeled after WWII-era “Anderson Shelters”, which can be built for as little as $500.
To me, it just seems like another way to profit off people’s fear, but who knows? Maybe having a backyard disaster shelter isn’t such a bad idea. You never know when those giant radscorpions, feral ghouls, and super mutants will come knocking.
Thanks to Huliq for the original story.

Battleship Shoes
Thursday, April 21st, 2011
Artist Phill Noto created these sneakers for an art show at Bold Hype Gallery. Personally, I don’t think many people could pull these off. Maybe with NWU pattern camo…
