It's a little hard to see in this picture, but the end of each arm is a solid piece of metal that can be used as a bottle opener. The sunglasses are pretty nice looking, in my opinion. They're $30, which is a little more than I like to pay for shades, but that's because I leave them everywhere. Other details:
- Polarized Lenses
- 100% UV Protection
- Polycarbonate frame
- 6061 Airplane grade Anodized Aluminum
- Includes a FREE COOZIE (when you buy a pair)
You can grab one over at the Brewsees site HERE.

I have no idea if you can actually buy one of these, or if it actually works, but I would like to see one in action. Here's the press release:
MOSSBERG AND TASER JOIN FORCES TO LAUNCH THE X12 DEDICATED LESS-LETHAL SHOTGUN
North Haven, CT (January, 2008) – O.F. Mossberg & Sons, the oldest family-owned firearms manufacturer in America, is announcing the introduction of the new TASER X12 Dedicated Less-Lethal Shotgun. The TASER X12 LLS (Less-Lethal Shotgun) is a fully integrated less-lethal platform, utilizing a re-engineered Mossberg® 500® pump-action shotgun that has been optimized for the TASER™ XREP eXtended Range Electronic Projectile. This system enables integration of the TASER® X26 electronic control device
(ECD) for close-in engagements. The TASER X12 LLS includes Radial Ammunition Key technology (patent pending) to prevent the system from accepting lethal 12-gauge rounds in order to remove the possibility of end users loading a lethal round in a less-lethal system during high stress situations.
“Our customer research has found that many law enforcement agencies would prefer dedicated 12-gauge systems for less-lethal use only,” commented Rick Smith, Chief Executive Officer of TASER International, Inc. “However, none of the systems on the market today actually prevent the operator from inadvertently loading a deadly round of buckshot or slugs. The TASER X12 LLS provides a dedicated less-lethal platform based on the proven Mossberg 500 pump-action shotgun, which is the only 12-gauge system to pass stringent Mil-Spec specifications. The TASER X12 LLS is designed with the important safeguard of precluding the possibility of lethal accidents through round misidentification. We believe the X12 LLS is a major advancement in less-lethal systems, with full integration of both close-in and long-range engagement capabilities,” Smith added. Considering the storied role Mossberg firearms have played within law enforcement and military communities around the world, the collaborative project makes great sense. “We
are very excited to have been selected as the manufacturing and development partner for the TASER X12 system,” said Mark Kresser, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Mossberg. “We are directing vast amounts of research and development into optimizing
our shotgun platforms to save and protect lives.”
In addition to the Radial Ammunition Key system, the TASER X12 LLS also provides the following features:
• A high twist, rifled barrel system that is optimized for the lower velocities of less lethal projectiles. Whereas standard Mossberg rifled barrels have a twist of 1 in 36 inches, the twist ratio for the TASER X12 LLS is 1 in 18 inches. This higher twist rate provides enhanced projectile stability at the lower velocities used for less-lethal projectiles such as the TASER XREP projectile.
• A Picatinny Rail system with the X-Rail™ mount pre-installed. The X-Rail mount allows the user to mount a standard TASER X26 ECD to the system. Together, the TASER X12 LLS with TASER X26 ECD integration gives the operator the ability to engage subjects across the full range of engagement distances, with the TASER X26 ECD optimized for engagements within 20 feet, and the TASER XREP projectile for subjects beyond 20 feet.
• TASER-Yellow™ coloration of the stock and fore-end of the shotgun for immediate identification as a less-lethal system
• A ghost ring sighting system
• Collapsible tactical stock

Very cool looking razor. It's also not horribly expensive at around $54 USD. I'm not big on the disposable blades though, as they seem way too expensive for what they are. Here's the details:
The unique Bolin Webb range of razors take their inspiration from the world of premium sports cars, both classic and modern. The sleek, aerodynamic curve of the broad handle and the coloured ‘coachwork’ effortlessly evoke legendary marques of motor racing. Even the palette of ‘paint work’ draws on iconic sports car and racing team colours – from the exact shades of red and yellow used by Ferrari to the silver of so many classic German racing autos. The coloured upper ‘bonnet’ is finished in a durable lacquer to protect the painted coating, whilst the base is rubberized for precise handling. These UK made modern classics launched in June 2011 and we are delighted to have been behind the brand right from the starting grid. The R1 and R1-S models share the same design, the difference being that the latter are stunningly coloured (Monza red to be accompanied by other finishes during 2011). All razors take the Gillette Mach 3 head and come with one blade.
They come in black, silver, white, and red, and you can check them out by clicking HERE.

This is a neat idea. I wouldn't ever use the picks, but it would be a fun way to shred old credit cards. Here's the details:
Guitar picks have been made from all sorts of things in the past- bone, shell, wood, metal, amber, ivory and even stone. Now you can add your old credit card to this list, with the Pickmaster Plectrum Punch.
Working in much the same way as a standard hole punch and around the same size, this ingenious device will punch a perfect guitar pick out of any plastic sheet- bank cards, gift cards, carton lids, in fact any thin plastic that you can find. Punch out a pick and get playing!
It's also a little on the expensive side, at $35, but you do have to get it from the UK. You can grab on HERE.

When I followed this link, I thought it was just some sort of air gun that shot golf balls. However, you need an actual AR-15, some blanks, and this little $20 gadget. Here's the details:
Works on most AR-15, M4, and M16 rifles; replaces your muzzle brake or flash hider. Machined out of solid-stock steel, shoots golf balls over 250 yards using .223 BLANKS (BAM-006), do not use live rounds. No gunsmithing required.
Sounds pretty cool. You can grab one HERE.

Alright, I really don't think secret agents use swords anymore, so the name of this weapon might be a little overblown. Regardless, it looks really cool.
Here's the details:
Sleek, dangerous, tactical! Measuring 27" overall, this sword is one solid piece of cold hard, stainless steel with a heat-treated black baked finish. The blade features fantasy cut outs, teeth like serrations, and a piercing point, and slides smoothly into the included nylon blade sheath. The nylon cord wrapped handle adds a sure grip for easy maneuverability. If there is a sword that screams to be picked up, this one is it!
Also, I'm not sure you should protect yourself with something that costs $12.99, but again, it's cool.
You can grab one over at the BUDK site HERE.

I've been thinking about getting one of these for a while. I don't use the over the counter disposable razors, as I prefer a safety razor with blades. This would be the next step up, but I'm also afraid I'd slash myself with it.
This is a little on the expensive side for what it is, but something like this could also last you the rest of your life.
Here's the details:
Loosely inspired by firearms, and titled “not a replica”, the blade features a matte black tang (handle), and blue steel blade. Proudly manufactured in the USA by Hart Steel, the blade was custom designed by the Baxter of California creative team. Size 6/8 – Quarter ground.
In addition to the blade, Baxter of California called on MAKR Carry goods to make a leather sleeve for the blade. The sleeve is hand crafted from Horween Cordovan leather (Navy Blue), and takes style cues from the popular MAKR angle wallet.
The Hart Steel razor blade is predominately a hand made product, and all of the processes are completed in Northern Michigan by skilled artisans. Hart Steel is tested at a Rockwell hardness of 63, which gives one?s razor the sharpest and most long-lasting edge possible. Artisan Technicians, from start to finish, hand grind, mark, sharpen and assemble each razor. Each AT personally stamps each razor to indicate his craftsmanship. The Horse Butt Leather used was chosen since it has a natural beauty and durability.
Genuine Shell Cordovan is the art of tanning at its finest. More than just a color, it’s a very specific leather, from a particular part of a horsehide. The irregular oval shaped shells are tanned, stuffed, shaved, and then polished – a process taking six months. Each shell is slowly steeped in gentle vegetable liquors. The shells are genuine hot stuffed then slicked onto glass frames to dry. Each shell is hand curried and shaved by highly skilled artisans to expose the shell. Dyes are hand rubbed on for a deep aniline finish. Finally, the shells are hand glazed to achieve the rich, glossy look and feel prized by fine craftsmen. The leather cases were cut from this beautiful material, hand sewn, hand edged painted and polished by MAKR Carry goods.
The razor costs $240, and the case will add on another $85. You can check it out HERE.

Sorry that there's been no new posts as of late. There wasn't any real good reason other than I've been really busy with a bunch of different things, and got out of the habit of posting every day.
Well, things are back to normal now. There will be the usual three to five posts a day from now on. At least until December when I head out to Vegas again. I promise to have some posts during that time, and some Vegas updates.
Also, I'll be upgrading the site pretty soon, so there might be some new features popping up. Unless the upgrade goes really bad. Wish me luck.
Alright, now back to your usual entertainment.
PS – The picture of the cheerleader was added for no special reason.

Vicepost is a little messed up at the moment.
If you hit it the other day, you might have found just a blank page. That was found to be an issue with the cache program I was using, but I've found it's worse than just that.
The page is at least up, but for some reason it's adding a bunch of junk to the permalink titles, so if you click on a post, you get a 400 error. That's not good, as it's messing with a lot of things around the site.
I've made a couple of posts for today to see if they pop up ok, and I'll be working on the other error to see if I can't get it fixed. I might jsut do a whole upgrade this weekend to a lter version of WordPress, but that might just kill everything, which would be bad.
Hopefully I'll have this all cleared up soon.
UPDATE: I seem to have the 400 error for the posts fixed, so I'll just have to keep an eye on things.
