Once upon a time, backpack users stuck both arms through both straps, but then your cool one-armed pack-slinging caught on, and thus in the fullness of time, the sling bag was born. So, herewith: the chartreuse nylon sling, 18" x 12" x 6" with a single adjustable 3-1/2” wide strap. Also has a zipper along one side, a flap with a 12" x 6" pocket and another 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" outside pocket, both zippered. There’s more: a 6" x 4-3/8" x 8" mesh pocket that will snap to the side, along with a 7" x 5" mesh sleeve on the other side, where you could keep a water bottle. Includes a gasketed port for a headphone cord, and a final 4" x 3" mesh sleeve on the shoulder strap.

Gas masks from the Polish military. They’re a compact 9” tall x 7” wide with glass eye-pieces, a filter and a 6-way adjustable head-strap. Also come with a 8-1/2” x 6” x 4” pouch in an interesting dappled green pattern with adjustable shoulder straps. They look good, but they’re not for actual use--just for excellent costumes and home displays.

Eggs comes in sets of a dozen so why shouldn’t molle buckles? Use these (12) always stylish black buckles to make cool paracord bracelets or to fasten something more utilitarian. Each buckle measures 7/16" x 9/16" x 1-1/8" when connected. These fun, festive and functional buckles will brighten your mood no matter what’s being connected.

With a taste for tarpaulins. These thick plastic tarp clips are the best we’ve seen, tooth-gripping-wise. Measure 2-1/2” long x 1” wide with 1/2” ID eye-hook, and have toothed 7/32” jaws that grab on as tight as an angry toddler via an adjustable locking clutch. Unlike a toddler, though, these have an easy, push-button release, and they won’t tear a hole in your tarp.

Can’t get to the gym? Need something to take your frustrations out on? Herewith, the desktop suction-cup speed bag. Measures 6-1/2" dia on a 5-1/2" spring with a 7" suction cup on the other end. Comes with an air pump to inflate it. Works fine and takes a licking on a desktop, and might just hang on from a tile ceiling in a shower--for added fight-gym verisimilitude--but we don’t have an office shower to test it on.

What do you get when you cross a cow with a giraffe? A Mooraffe©! From Genetipetz®, this super-soft stuffed animal has the body of a giraffe, 29-1/2” tall foot to mane, and the classic black-and-white markings of a Holstein cow. Pat thinks it’s the most ridiculous thing we’ve ever had the privilege of offering, and Karen thinks it’s just plain adorable. For ages 3+, and surface-washable.

We love NASA and so do you, or someone you love does. And with the 50th anniversary of the moon landing this year (July 20), why not show your support by sticking a bunch of classic NASA “meatball” logos on your stuff? You know the one--the blue sphere and white stars with the NASA name in white, a red chevron slashing through it and a white orbiting swirl wrapping it all together. You’ll get (15) logo stickers in 1” dia ; a 3-1/2” logo sticker; a 3-1/2” window cling logo; and a good, old-fashioned 10" x 2-3/4" white bumper sticker with the logo and the following phrase: “IT’S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!

Quick, what are the two most iconic symbols of peace? Well, the classic three-pronged peace sign in a circle, of course. And windchimes. (We know you knew that.)

In the interest of good taste, and the memory of our golfing grandmother, we suggest that it’s a cute way to introduce a toddler to the royal and ancient game. But if you do decide to putt on the throne, be sure to employ the included “Do Not Disturb” sign.

The deer hate to see that, so you’d best use these Camo Shammos, a pair of 14" x 10" x 1/16" thick viscose rayon shammies in digital forest camo. Wait, is it shammy or chamois? Either way, ours hold 12X their weight in water and make dandy field towels that will dry you off when the car’s done.

In several senses. These snazzy cigarette cases are made for the original, unfiltered short smokes (or roll-ups) and measure 3-1/2" square x 3/4" deep, or 3/8” deep per side when open, with those little elastic keeper bands.

What is a killer rare earth magnet? Well, once upon a time, a copywriter put this little magnet next to his computer monitor and got really pretty, wavy, aurora-like effects. And then got a new monitor! Don't try this at home. Our shiny, silver-colored 1" x 1" x 1/2" neodymium magnet looks innocent, but is industrial strength, pulling something like 25 lbs with enough strength left over to erase all your credit cards. And wreak havoc with your monitor.

Don’t get too excited--we don’t have Tesla parts. But we do have this honey of a reversible 12VDC gear motor from a kid’s ride-able toy car.

These are all 21” square cotton/poly blend factory-second bandanas. A few are unhemmed on one side, but generally we can’t see why they were seconded. Most are traditional paisley designs in assorted colors, but others are novelty versions in USA and Texas flag looks, camo, smiley faces, dog paw prints and others. It’ll be a nice change not to know exactly what you’re getting, won’t it? Buy ’em at the bulk price and resell them. Start your side hustle now!

We won't pick the one that plays the score from Die Walküre because the wheel is just enormous.
