skullcandy headphones


Bought 3 for the kids for Christmas last year. I have now sent all 3 back under warranty because they would not charge.

Interesting. Mine have been nothing short of stellar for the price.

Old (pre-1985) Coleman stoves and lanterns were built to last nearly forever.

I have an old 242c lantern from 1948, and others from the late 50's and early 60's that run like a champ.

Maxpedition bags

I have the fliegerduffel and it is awesome. Small enough to be a carry on but can pack enough for a week. Tough as shite too.

I have two 1980-ish Coleman lanterns that we used back in the day to fish off the bridge in Grand Isle all night when I was a kid. Still work like brand new.

These 100% cotton t-shirts are Made in USA and make up my entire t-shirt collection. It's nice to get back to wearing sturdy t-shirts instead of that unaturally soft, sheary BS that is everywhere these days.


Its amazing how hard it is to find simple clothing. Thats why I love American Apparel but their prices are crazy.

True. I'm currently hunting for a similarly sturdy, plain heather Made in USA sweatshirt, non-hooded. I feel like I'm probably gonna have to settle for foreign made on this item.

I actually sat next to Jen Sterger at the Bama Florida game in Tebow's freshmen year (no clue why she was in Gainesville). She was so hot in person, it was distracting. I wasn't surprised at all when I heard Farve sent her dick pics.
