High Tide Heels! Like Blue Steel only better!

Forget jelly bracelets, the High Tide Heels are poised to be the next big thing in must have fashion.  Trip to the beach?  High Tide Heels.  Going to the Mall to play in the fountain?  High Tide Heels.  Splashing around in the tub with all your equally hip friends (lets face it, they're not really equally hip...we just let them believe they are)?  High Tide Heels.  Running the New York Marathon?  Ok, a pair of running shoes may be a better choice but you get the idea...afterparty.

Intense, Usefull, and 7 inches.

Hey stop that. That is in now way the direction that i was going with this.  I was going to talk about a new flashlight and you are still going to be pretty impressed by it.

duracell-announce-dayliteSo Duricell is bringing out a new small flashlight call the "Daylight".  There are three different versions to accommodate different batteries but from what i can see the one that takes 123's is the best.  Ya you are going to pay more for the batteries but it is also going to extremely bright and small.

Hmmmm radio active!

BivvyZipMaker_03_640xSo with this Tritium Lighting Zipper pull you will always have an easy way of seeing just were you zipper is. Yes if you have to ask Tritium is radio active. From what i can find it wont cause much of a problem unless you ingest it. So you are going to have to get out of the habit of chewing on you zipper pull while riding the chair life. Yes i know that it is nice and warms you right up but trust me it is just not worth it. Well that is unless you are a park rat then i might be cool and your skin might just start to match your one piece.

Try your luck and get a few.  Tritium Zipper Pull

Stop throwing your Boom a Rang in the house

I know that was something I often heard in my house while growing up.  I mean really though mom, how else am I going to catch the wallaby for dinner?  Fortunately the folks at REI carry a great product called the Roomarang.  It doesn't get much better than this.  Now, whenever I feel like throwing something in the house, I've got my foam Roomarang.  It's soft, won't put out any eyes, and actually comes back to you.  Pretty impressive.

Ahoy! Matey!

Well blow me down? Today is one of my favorite holidays. National Talk Like A Pirate Day. Now i am by no means an expert on this but i am studying up. Check out the official site for a bit of basic and advanced training.  For the most part this means that i just say Arrr to everyone instead of yes or other comments.  As it is defined by the site it looks like i can say it for just about anything.

Arrr! - This one is often confused with arrrgh, which is of course the sound you make when you sit on a belaying pin. "Arrr!" can mean, variously, "yes," "I agree," "I'm happy," "I'm enjoying this beer," "My team is going to win it all," "I saw that television show, it sucked!" and "That was a clever remark you or I just made." And those are just a few of the myriad possibilities of Arrr!

Hope everyone enjoys the day and make sure to study up to make the most of it.
