I was going to say guns but I think I’d be afraid to shoot a $45 gun from meh. Factory seconds with only slight function anomalies during test firing, no doubt.
@heartny if we can get tactical cinnamon rolls like the huge sized ones as you walk out of the ikea warehouse I’d buy one but at that size are they tactical? Same goes for the hotdog. Are they tactical or tactile?
Back in the day (the day being the 1950s and early 1960s), “Hi-Fi” was something that started out with a real meaning and evolved into an oft-abused buzzword. Cartoonist Charles Shulz took dead aim at this in some of his “Peanuts” strips. In one, Lucy is showing off her new “Hi-Fi hula hoop” to Charlie Brown. In the last panel, Charlie Brown is musing to himself, “Hi-Fi hula hoop?” A nearly identical strip features Violet and her new Hi-Fi jump rope.
So fast forward to 2019, and why not tactical hula hoops and jump ropes?
Idk what form tactical cat toys would take. But Tuesday the kitten was running along the half wall upstairs and about fell off. 15 feet down. Dug her claws in and dragged herself up.
Yesterday she was up there and I was walking past her and through my arms out to spook/play with her. She looked right at me. Paused for a second or two. Intentionally turned around. And dove off the wall. She’s ok. I’m a little impressed.
But some sort of Batman utility belt or grappling hook might be good.
@unksol So you’re training her to be a tactical attack cat and requesting tactical cat weapons? Woes be the unwary cat burglar who ventures beneath her favorite perch!
@unksol You might need tactical safety nets just below that. Or a tactical trampoline below. When my daughter was younger at her friend’s house they used to jump off the roof of the playhouse onto the trampoline that family had in the back yard. Fortunately it was not possible for those without suction cups on their hands and feet to climb the tree to jump from a branch (although they did discuss ladder access).
@ThunderChicken where was that in there? Article says “cats falling between five and nine stories are the ones most likely to be injured. Fall from a higher story, though, and your odds of survival are better.”
15feet <> 5 stories. What gets me is she paused and thought about it. And she won’t even jump over to the cat tree where her buddy sleeps 20 feet up and she sits on the wall a foot away from it half the night. She does not like being over open air. I’d be interested in her thought process in those couple seconds.
@unksol On the Survivability Factor graph, 5 meters (approx. 15 feet) has about a 40% survival rate. (If you hover your pointer over the graph, you can drag x and y axis lines that make it easier to interpret.) I assume a cat that jumps rather than falls accidentally has some advantage, but my concern is that these amazingly sure-footed creatures still screw up sometimes.
@unksol If she’s like any cat I’ve ever had, she paused to consider the danger vs. the evil rush of scaring the crap outta you, and decided to go for it.
Mickey’s I need a new pair of Mickeys. My old ones kind of fell apart and the air bladders leaked. The white air force ones look kind of not quite manly though.
Christmas stockings!
@ruouttaurmind Add 200’ of paracord to that and you got a winner.
Tactical refrigerators for tactical batteries.
While you’re at it you’ll also have to sell tactical batteries, because I’m pretty sure that’s not a thing. Yet.
@shahnm how about tactical vibrators, I mean neck massagers, that could use the tactical batteries?!!??!
@shahnm @tinamarie1974 most guys have a tactical vibrator built in, they just claim it’s larger than tactical.
/giphy this big
@bleedmichigan @shahnm aye, but sometimes a facsimile of the real thing is less complicated, not nearly as fun, but less complicated
@bleedmichigan @tinamarie1974 So what you’re looking for is tac-tickler batteries…?
@bleedmichigan @shahnm I see what you did there, but I have an entire cabinet full of those!!
@tinamarie1974 not a cabinet everyone knows the best way to tire batteries is in the fridge
@bleedmichigan My built-on vibrator’s not tactical. It’s strategic.
I was going to say guns but I think I’d be afraid to shoot a $45 gun from meh. Factory seconds with only slight function anomalies during test firing, no doubt.
@tweezak Gun-nade: Maybe it’s a ranged weapon, maybe it’s a fragmentation device? Good Luck!
Tactical Bluetooth speakers and battery packs. For Halloween sell tactical fidget spinners. Maybe tactical electric toothbrushes for the holidays.
@heartny Tactical Candy Corn
@bleedmichigan Yes! That too.
@heartny I thought Ninja stars were tactical fidget spinners…
Tactical butt plug
@wankeye Wow. That discussion took a left turn.
@Fuzzalini @wankeye not really we had tactical vibrators above.
Nukes
@ybmuG Are you sure you want tactical nukes in the hands of meh shoppers?
Tactical outdated phone chargers
Tactical speaker docks
Speaking of speakers did anyone see the IKEA Sonos collaboration?
Maybe even sell Tactical Swedish Furniture
@bleedmichigan Tactical Swedish meatballs

Tactical tacks.
Tactical hula-hoops and tactical jump ropes.

@unksol I second getting a tactical cat net. Cats falling 15 feet face a survival rate of about 40%. Cat physics

@hchavers I like my underwear to be strategic.
(At least in it’s coverage.)

How about things that are, well, actually tactical …
You should be able to get us a pretty good deal on bump stocks.
Pffft. I was here at 9 sharp and everything is sold out except the tiny sizes.
