not too much to ask

For those interested in such things, my review of the Hammerhead AR-15 stock adapter (that we have talked about a few times before) will be up in the coming week – depsite moving, wrecking my car, and having in-laws visiting, I was finally able to find the time to …

bring on the foam

Dang. Paint this thing black and it is probably already banned in Kalifornistan. …

*double-take*

Really, I cannot come up with a coherent response to these – I am endlessly vaccilating between “ingenious”, “hilarious”, “inspired”, and “just plain wierd”. …

one born every minute

Blizzard, you are both awesome, and bastards.

‘Round about six months ago, I applied for your Starcraft II beta. I did not get in.

Now, a scant 10 days before you actually release the game, you send out a mass email saying, “Hey, all you guys who applied for …

the fat lady ain’t singin’

I know we have talked about this a few times before, but it bears repeating – if a criminal already has a gun out and pointed at you, there is absolutely nothing you can do – nothing at all – to change the outcome of the situation, so you …

boogety-boogety

Speaking of knives, and solitary bad review or not, I have to give Ka-Bar credit for their Besh BOGA – not for the design (on the scale of “being around forever”…), and not for the implementation, but rather for the name.

BOGA – Back Off and Get Away.

The “Besh” …

free is good

Better Half and I are headed to the movies this weekend, with a buy-one-get-one deal for Sorcerer’s Apprentice – go over to Fandango, find a time and theater that will work for you, and enter the promo code of “APPRENTICE”.

Works for me. No idea how long it will …

no rest for the anti-rights nuts

Since Weer’d went and beat me to this topic, this post will be a little shorter than I had originally intended, but I will go ahead and put it up. From all of the various anti-rights sources in and aroung Tennessee, we pro-rights activists have been subjected to all …

ninja assassin

Ninja Assassin: If you have any appreciation, at all, for over-the-top violence, excessive quantities of blood, fairly decent martial arts (that have been gratuitously augmented by special effects and Lord knows what else), well-built young men, or movies that make no bones about being nothing more than a long-term …

sharp and pointies in person

As regular readers may recall, I have written about Mantis knives a little in the past, with the general conclusion being “intriguing, but troubling” – intriguing for the designs, approach, and mentality; troubling for the advertising, attitude, and mentality.

Well, recently, I have gotten a bug to try out a …

the construction is proceeding

I would totally buy one and wear it, but I have some serious doubts as to the number of people who would appreciate it… …

taking the ball and running with it

Weer’d Beard points us to yet another repeat of yet another tired old argument from an unworthy-of-linking-or-even-naming anti-rights nut:

1. Deny gunloons what they most desire. Guns? Nope. Acceptance. What gunloons really want more than anything is an acceptance of their gunloonery as ‘normal’ or mainstream.

… and I thought …

engage spleen vent

On this day, which started out overcast and damp, and seems to be wrapping up relatively nicely, I would like to solemnly, but enthusiastically, raise my middle finger to two separate individuals.

First, Michael Yon, you are a scumbag of the lowest order. I will be perfectly honest – …

unintentional, but funny

This, right here, is easily the funniest post of the month.

I would love to claim some manner of malicious attempt at subterfuge in using a MagPul box to send the book on its way, but it was more of a, “Gorram it, the Post Office is closed, and the …

it just keeps getting funnier

Consumer Reports withdraws their endorsement of the iPhone 4.

Apple users/fans post about this at the Apple forums.

Apple deletes those discussions on the iPhone 4′s shortcomings recorded by Consumer Reports.

People with previous experience with Apple’s hardware issues point and laugh at yet another chink in the …

web 2.0 fail

Somewhat related to the previous post, but in a sufficiently different vein as to warrant a separate page, ITS Tactical fails at RSS.

Since I have touched on this topic before, I will only waste your time with this short recap: I am not going to “click through” to …

where you gonna reach?

We all know that the safest place to store firearms, both in terms of home fires and home invaders, is a well-constructed, fire-resistant, heavy-gauge gun safe, firmly anchored to some very strong floor. However, while those devices are the best places to store firearms, they are somewhat lacking for staging

paring it down

And to round out my generally linky-no-thinky postings for today, I give you the Thureon Defense Carbine – advertised as being a ground-up 9mm carbine that uses much of the same parts as an AR-15, but is, by itself, cheaper than an AR-15 9mm conversion kit. It seems to employ …

predators

Predators: For a movie that was unnecessarily hamstrung by using Adrien Brody as the lead “tough guy”, employing a script that involved far too much talking and far too little gratuitous violence, having far too many editing gaffes (not the least of which were clearly visible wires throughout), using …

you sure about that shin?

This is, quite possibly, the best idea regarding soccer ever:

Four: All the refs are MMA fighters, and every time a player falls down and fakes an injury, the ref steps in and administers unto that player the very injury they were faking.

It gets even better if you …
