The Unusual: BulletProof Clipboards

The Unusual:  BulletProof Clipboards

First there were bulletproof T-Shirts.

then there were bulletproof summer Polo’s

Next there were bulletproof Underwear.

Now you can accessorize your outfit with the inclusion of a bulletproof clipboard.  The folks at ThinkGeek.com, which have some up with some pretty unconventional inventions in the past, have added what they call the Bulletproof Body Armor Clipboard to their line-up and even included a video field testing it.

 

From their tongue-in-cheek product description:

Each Bulletproof Body Armor Clipboard is a section of Level II body armor, with a clip attached to hold the paper. Level II body armor is tough enough to stop the penetration of 9mm bullets.  The Bulletproof Body Armor Clipboard is the toughest clipboard we’ve ever held. Sure, it’s heavy, but when you own a clipboard that can stop bullets, weight doesn’t matter anymore. Nothing matters anymore, other than your own awesomeness for being the only person in the office to own aBulletproof Body Armor Clipboard.

For more on the clipboard including video of their field test, click HERE.

Caption This 12 Contest Results

Caption This 12 Contest Results

So the results are in for the first ever Bodyguard Blog/ Facebook “Caption This…”  Contest, and ready there are troubles at the polls:

While there is a clear winner at 7 “likes” out of the 24 entries, said winner just happens to be my brother Akeem, so I’m sure there has to be some fine print somewhere about relatives winning the prize.   To solve this, we’ll just give Akeem honorary mention, and award the prize to the second runner up Mr. Rickey “Swifty” Beever.

Ricky, enjoy the gloves, and we’ll look forward to future comments from you!

"quick get him before he gets to the escalators". ~ Ricky Beever

and for honorary mention

“Now maybe these senior citizen mall walkers will know we mean business!” ~ Akeem Khan

Caption This Pt. 9

Caption This Pt. 9

The weekly  ”Caption This” feature of Bodyguard Blog continues as we ask readers to supply their own witty comments to humorous Executive Protection / Military Themed photos.

A writer for a small town newspaper who was a little too persistent with trying to give President Barack Obama a letter was “forcibly” removed from a press area near Air Force One.  The manner of said removal, plus the crowd reactions, are ripe for another installment of our ongoing feature.

Fire away!

Caption This Part VIII

The weekly  ”Caption This” feature of Bodyguard Blog asks readers to supply their own witty comments to humerous Executive Protection / Military Themed photos.

Continuing our canine theme from Part VII,  a reader submitted this photo that was ripe for the “Caption This” treatment.  Not sure what’s really going on in this photo (staged or just an odd camera angle?) but I do hear dogs have pretty good vision.
