From The Back Row

The last edition of “Gotta Get One” was in November 2007. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’ve gotten lots of things since then. The point of GGO is that when you have a seemingly unending source of cash, lottery-money if you will, this is a good place to start when you’re saying to yourself, “What do you get for someone that has everything?”

The answer… Paintball Turret! That’s right, this thing puts out paintballs at an astounding 34 balls per second. Per second! It can be remote-controlled and there’s a camera on it for remote viewing as well. Assuming the statute of limitations has been reached, I could say there was a time when mounting one of these to the roof of your SinBin would’ve meant utter destruction for all that lay in your path. Alas, that was a time when only Bosley on ‘Charlie’s Angels’ had a cel phone. Times have changed and you can be sure that the next iteration of the UAV will have one of these firmly mounted on top.

You say you want a machine to play 720 and you want a separate appliance for serving beer… why not combine the two? I’m sure some smart person will find a way to make GT work on this as well down the road (it has the trackball). Until then, it’s Arkanoid or Paperboy or more appropriately, Tapper.

Ok, after taking last month off, we have this month’s edition of ‘Gotta Get One’. Comes to us from the Land of Cubicles. Perhaps some of you live there (I don’t). I only imagine it as a vast wasteland of nonproductivity filled with TPS reports and people flicking stuff at each other across the aisle. A place where you’re allowed 2 personal photographs and as much garish football memorabilia as you can plaster all over: for example, a plastic razorback. Anyways, here’s the latest gizmo, not really a gizmo cause a box can’t be a gizmo, but it’s a good idea nonetheless:

We’re gonna need a big house (for all the crap I’m gonna put in it). Seriously, at most, unless you went completely nuts, at most you’d ever want 3-4 shots of Jagermeister per week. Of course, if I had 3 other roommates, it would make more sense.

Alright, he’s something for the ol’ Christmas list (see, I’m not hard to buy for): The World’s First Inflatable Pub

From time to time, I’ll introduce different items that I simply have to have – here’s the first, from Milwaukee:
