Wutchu Get?!

This may seem lackluster to most, but if you know the manufacturer and his reputation, I was ecstatic to receive this Saddleback wallet...



100 year warranty that bad boy.

Maybe I should switch to something like that.  I typically either use one of my wife's pony tail rubber band things, or a binder clip.  I just care a handful of credit cards and a tiny (or no) cash.  I keep the other stuff in a computer bag, typically.

There is no contraption that will solve your usual credit card problem.

Ya, that's what the flask was for.

Yeah, the brief and the backpack are what have caught my eye for the longest time.

Really looking forward to this:

Trudy has an encounter with UFOs and a body disappears from the morgue.

I've carried something like this for years.

Carry other stuff in my backpack/computer bag.

Speaking of flasks... I'm a bit disheartened there was no appreciation of the decanter.

And family white elephant gifts...

You should've just wrapped this and dropped it straight in the mail to Trim... He's a huge Larry fan, IIRC.

Donate it to the FattyFest auction.

Donate it to the FattyFest auction.

Good idea.

@BookiePimp, I honestly thought that was either a simple ceramic statue or at best, a cookie jar . Being a decanter makes it pretty bad ass.

Thanks, cDub... I sorta assumed most here knew it was one of three in the series of "Purple Power" whiskey decanters from 1971.  They rarely come available, so a set of the football one, the basketball one, and the one with just Willie on it are relatively challenging to acquire.

Have always wanted 'em but never took the time to buy for myself.

my mom's squawk/shock friends have all three as decorations in a guest bedroom. I always contemplate stealing them when I visit

[Dugout DickStone]

 Those decanters are pretty well known pieces of memo, nice get

I've got the one with just willie on it, has a 1970 date

Ah. Chalk one up for being the outsider. Sounds pretty sweet, hope you can complete the set.

Lemme know if you do.  I'd be a buyer on the hoops and willie only ones.

those things look fun but I'm sure that I would wreck it 5 minutes out of the box like I did to the little helicopter deals

Confirmed.  Hubsan X4 broke in 15 minutes (i did fall from like 30' up) already on it's way back to Amazon.

Review the X5C1 Scribe!!!  That was one I was looking at as a replacement.

OK, set it up and flew it a few times today. The first time I kept it low and near my driveway and showed off for the kids. Next, unfortunately, it got stuck incredibly high in my neighbor's oak tree. Spent 20 minutes tossing my football (a gift from my second grader) at it before eventually getting it down without crushing it. Obviously, I'm not good at flying it but my god it's fun!
After that we took it up to our local middle school and flew it around the football field. I took it very, very high there, really wowing my guys. Around this time, I noticed it continued to lean as it flew in one direction. I don't know if one of the four propellers isn't operating at full speed or what, need to check that out tomorrow. I have not tried the still or video camera function yet. DO NOT FLY IT INDOORS. I don't know what these cost, it was a gift from my Dad. It is definitely fun, but also feels a tad cheap Chinese-y.

No string, cameras, and lots of zoom-zoom power cool factor?
