Camel Toad WTFkery

Posted in wtf | 4 Comments
Yeah, it’s been around for a few years. Still good for a laugh though. (Yes it’s real and it *did* run in the papers in 2005. The mind boggles.)… Read more

Bra WTFkery

Posted in bra, wtf | 7 Comments
It’s a bra! It’s red! It’s sexy! It’s a sexy red bra! That doubles as a face mask. Clever, especially given the times we live in today. According to their website: The goal of any emergency respiratory device is to achieve tight fixation and full coverage. Luckily, the wonderful design of the bra is already in the shape of a face mask and so with the addition of a few design features, the Emergency Bra enhances the efficiency of minimizing contaminated bypass air flow. – Emergency bra shoulder straps which easily convert into adjustable head straps, providing firm fixation of the mask – Flex inserts along the top rim of the bra caps which allow to shape the masks tightly around the nose bridge area – Inner cap liner/filter which acts like a butterfly valve during inhale cycles Erm. They’re also quick to point out that first and foremost, the… Read more

Hook Me Up…

Posted in blood, random, wtf | 1 Comment
You know, it’s probably not a good sign that mr myn was driven to purchase me fake energy blood this weekend. But there it is. Of course, he also bought me a Hello Kitty T-shirt, so all is forgiven.. Not sure I’m going to drink it, but I suspect it will make for a nice conversation piece in the office, so that’s where it’s going to go. I will say I find it a tad disturbing that they actually have to put a warning on it that it shouldn’t *really* be used intravenously. Or for a transfusion.  Though I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. God knows, whenever *I’m* looking for some fresh O Neg, I run right down to the nearest Hot Topic.… Read more

Mace WTFkery

Posted in guns, wtf | 2 Comments
I am all about self-defense and the right to do whatever you have to in order to keep yourself safe. That being said, I really do have to question the wisdom of carrying a mace dispenser that looks like a revolver. Okay – yes, it’s nice that it gives you an LED laser for aiming, though to be honest, I think in most situations where a woman pulls out her mace, she’s probably not thinking along such tactical lines. I guess my main issue with carrying anything gun-shaped is that it probably has the potential to escalate an ugly situation into something much worse – particularly if there is a police officer involved. And having a pink gun isn’t necessarily going to be enough to get you out of the situation – there are plenty of real guns that are pink. Yes, a good cop should be able to assess… Read more

Axe Cop

Posted in axe cop, random, t-shirts, wtf | Leave a comment
I bought mr myn an Axe Cop T-shirt the other day. Two, in fact.  This one, and one where Axe Cop is riding around on Wexter, a dinosaur with machine guns for arms. No I don’t really have a reason, except that it struck me as horribly ironic to have a real cop wearing it beneath his uniform. (Which he might. He also might never forgive me for buying it, but that’s another story all together.) In case you’re wondering, Axe Cop is a comic strip written by a 5 year old boy and then illustrated by his 30 year old artist brother. In either case, go read it. It’s sort of an amusing look at the inner workings of a boy’s mind. (And being the owner of one myself, I can say for a fact that it’s pretty damn accurate.) If you want your own shirt(s), you can get… Read more
