Title: Says here that I can buy a "de-weaponized WWII bazooka".
Post by: The Good Reverend Roger on February 21, 2012, 05:22:04 PM
And I have to ask myself, "What possible good would THAT do?"

American Science & Surplus also has an empty 2000 pound bomb case.  Okay, THAT I could probably put to good use.  But they want a grand for it?  For a grand, I expect it to be operational.  Or at least to include a blow job.

Next on the list is a giant stuffed moose head.  Nope. 

Scalpels?  Maybe I'll put that on my Christmas list for Richter or Nigel.

Voice changer?  HAR!  I used to have one of those.  Buying that.  WARNING TO PEOPLE ON MY CALL LIST:  IF YOU HEAR A SEXY-SOUNDING BRITISH NYMPHO GIRL CALLING YOU FROM MY NUMBER, IT IS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU HEAVE OR PERHAPS WRECK YOUR CAR.  BE WARNED.

Dictaphones that look like pens.  Got one already.

High powered binoculars?  Nope.

Puttees?  For real?  Fuck yeah.

note:  I'm done bitching about people VIEWING, so I'm just gonna blog weird shit from another tab when everyone goes passive.  I do this because I CARE.

It's a brick & mortar store (3 stores, actually), back in Chicago.  They sell every weird piece of shit you've ever seen, and some you haven't.

It is surprisingly easy to re-weaponize AT-4 shells (http://hackaday.com/2011/07/15/surplus-bazooka-converted-to-shoot-firework-artillery-shells/), not that it's necessarily a good idea. AT-4 shells are fairly cheap, though. I have two at home decorating the bathroom. (They are labelled "Plunger #2" and "Plunger #3" respectively)

If you give Richter scalpels for Christmas, I will happily assist, so long as I get to help choose our... patients...

I'll even scrub, first, promise!

Ooooo I think this is the place my dad gave me a catalog for the other week since he thought we'd find it interesting. I've only gotten the chance to flip through it, but it looked like it had a bunch of fun, crazy crap in it. $1,000 does sound like an awful lot for an EMPTY bomb case, though.

It may be a good idea for gifts though. Moose heads and puttees for everyone!

AT4s are 84mm.

Bazookas are 3.5 inches.

The only thing they have in common is that they suck at what they do.

At least in the good ole days it came with a mildly amusing comic, which if you collected enough of them you could trade them in for mildly embarrasing Bazooka-branded apparel.

At least these days wrestlers like The Rock have all kinds of CGI/special effects to draw eyes away from their horrible acting chops.

There aren't enough CGI and real-life explosions in the whole world to save John Cena in The Marine, I know that much.  :lulz:

I think the producers of Journey 2 may have seen this same shortcoming for their movie with The Rock and threw in a Vanessa Hudgens.
