Terrrible geeky temptations
Dec. 2nd, 2009 11:45 amI cannot stop looking at CountyComm; their website is hideous, but oh the stuff they sell.
I think fannish people are more likely to understand than others why this stuff makes me go "OMG WANT" -- it's pretty much military surplus geekporn. Keyring screwdrivers! Bailout bags with webbing all over! Neon-colored parachute cord! Firestrikers like they use on Discovery channel survival shows! Grappling hooks!
...yeah. You can measure the level of drool from the fact that they don't even SHIP OUTSIDE THE US and yet I still have a shopping cart tab open. Just in case I succumb and employ unfortunate friends in the US to act as a maildrop for me.
I'm kind of ashamed of myself, because I'm pretty sure most people buying this type of gear are not working for law enforcement or the military, just geeks like me, and then pictures of a bag captioned "Full Size Glock Fits In The Hidden Pocket Just Fine" start looking reaaaallly creepy -- but I still want the bag, and my current canvas bag is wearing out, and. *flails*
