Shameless Plug for Awesome: Gerber Shard

Gerber Shard

 

A real quick and easy post tonight my friends. I just needed to sing the praises of this, my latest acquisition: The Shard, by Gerber.

The shard is about 3 inches long and apparently approved for air travel by the TSA. It boasts two flat-head and a philips driver, a pry bar, a wire stripper, a bottle opener, and for some reason the Gerber people think a lanyard hole is a function. That’s weird but I’m okay with it because I see their lanyard hole and raise them BACK SCRATCHER!!!

Yes, this thing is much better than a key for those hard to reach places when you need a little more reach.

Seriously though, I’ve had this tool for two days and I’ve already used it several times. It’s small, lightweight, and unobtrusive. My new favorite toy.

Scarydad Review: Kraken Rum

Kraken

Hello there everyone. Tonight I review a delightful little product that is sure to steal your heart: Kraken Black Spiced Rum.

I happened upon this stuff a while back and wanted to try it then. But you see, Bride and I misunderstood one another as to who would be visiting the liquor store prior to a holiday gathering and in a moment of sitcom-style hilarity, we ended up with two large bottles of another kind of rum instead of one. This glut in supply made the purchase of Kraken painfully unnecessary until recently.

I finally got my hands on this pretty little bottle and now it’s about time to tell you what I think.

Cold Steel Gladius Machete

A few months ago I told you all how I really wanted the Gladius Machete from Cold Steel. Well, a couple of weeks ago I went from desire to possession when the sword arrived at my door. Today I got to use it for the first time so I’ll tell you all about it now.

Scarydad Review: Sinister

Sinister

Good evening my beloved. Tonight we discuss one of the most frightening films I’ve seen in a good long time. Seriously, I saw Sinister on Saturday evening and it’s still messing with me when I go to bed each night. In the sea of pop culture crap that tries to pass as “horror,” this is the real thing.

Scary Movie Night: Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Invasion of the Body Snatchers

When I was about 15 years old, my dad worked up a list of several classic movies he thought I needed to see. Among these were films such as Cool Hand Luke and The Great Escape. There weren’t many scary movies on the list, but this one was actually close to the top of it. At the time I was a little bit cynical of “old” stuff. I had a stupid kid’s opinion that the special effects wouldn’t measure up and that it was all just cheese and dudes in monkey costumes. My life changed when I sat down with my dad and watched Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I think this film is responsible for hatching my love of scary movies in general. Before Invasion, they were just cool. After Invasion, they were, or at least could be, important.

Summer Reading: ‘Salem’s Lot

Salem's Lot

I guess it’s a throwback to my school days but I always feel like a good scary novel right about this time of year. I normally read something new, but I think I’m going to go back and reread ‘Salem’s Lot. There’s just something about that story that keeps bringing me back.
