Holy crap! If it wasn't $225+ I'd be all over it for my work mug...

No.

That is about as wasteful and useless as a liberal.

not much more can be said

Sadly, I know someone who bought one of those.

why?

and has anyone else seen anything as tacticool as this recently?

I saw this....like two three years ago maybe? I think...

If I was a different type of person with different type of money, I'd buy it for kicks....even though I'd only drink water out of it.

He had the money to burn and no I haven't.

Shit, I want to know where you guys work if "24 ounces of your favorite frothy beverage beer" is a nessary item... As in, can haz application?

Tactical.  :sigh:  Not a dig at the OP, at all, but this just the perfect place to vent something I've been thinking about in the last week.

Like synergy in corporate America or products in the Army, tactical is, perhaps, the most overused and abused word in the shooting sports- right next to operator.  There is absolutely nothing tactical about that mug.  Creative marketing, yes, but tactical, no.

I played a game the other day while I was tactically executing a heavy equipment drop over a wet LZ.  I was looking through a popular shooting/surplus catalog, and I decided to see if I could go a single page without seeing an item described as tactical.  I made it all the way to the last couple of pages (the challenge coins) before I found a page without it.

I found:
-tactical shorts (Freakin' really?  I've been going into combat underprepared! Flash-resistant long trousers are overrated- I need some nut-hugging, six-inches-above-the-knee, 1387434 pocket khaki shorts! They would look awesome with the "tactical" baseball catcher's shin guards!)
-tactical underwear
-tactical t-shirts
-tactical pens
-tactical handkerchiefs
And a boatload of other items described as tactical that had nothing to do with anything even resembling tactical.

From Merriam-Webster:
tactical (ˈtak-ti-kəl)
1: of or relating to combat tactics: as a (1) : of or occurring at the battlefront <a tactical defense> <a tactical first strike> (2) : using or being weapons or forces employed at the battlefront <tactical missiles> b of an air force : of, relating to, or designed for air attack in close support of friendly ground forces
2a : of or relating to tactics: as (1) : of or relating to small-scale actions serving a larger purpose (2) : made or carried out with only a limited or immediate end in view b : adroit in planning or maneuvering to accomplish a purpose

There is nothing tactical about shorts, my Army-issued brownie-tighties or t-shirts (even the high speed flash resistant ones with antimicrobial silver woven into them), ink pens, socks, skeet shooting vests that happen to be black, purses, can openers, fat people, beer mugs, and on and on and on.....

Okay, I'm done.  Back to making fun of the tactical beer mug that costs as much as a real gun part.

A gun store could use it to compare several different optics back to back

Or put rails on a 4x4 or something else 100x cheaper...

Tacticool was my first word choice as the title

I think that would have fit, perfectly.  I knew where you were going with it, but like I said, I saw an opening and vented.

I'm going to execute a tactical online retrograde and go to bed now.  I'm cranky and bitchy.  My tactical alarm clock is going to go off in five hours so that I may drive my tactical Chevy Malibu to tactical work.  I hope the tactical scanner/fax machine works tomorrow so I can get some tactical stuff done.

Yeah I mean, tactical really just means that something is designed with a tactic in mind - underwear, for example, is a great piece of tactical gear. I've tried several brands but have honestly found that Target makes decent kit that won't break the bank.







Tactical.

i think it would be "fun novelty" item if it was molded out of 3oz of plastic and cost $5.99. I have spare chines carry handle that i would through on it for a laugh.

LOL Moose..  I loved reading that.....  

And here I just ordered an Acme Tactical Cookie Cutter HP, its guaranteed to cut thru the crustiest, thickest cookie goo you'll ever see whether in the kitchen or backwoods of wherever.  You mean they've mislead me?      


As to the original post, that's funny.  I know a few people that after a few beers could definitely use a laser sight or scope attached to their mug to help guide them to their target better...          

so dumb that being said i really want one

Unfortunately I was referring to coffee... I don't think too many people would see the humor if I get a DUI while test driving a car for a rattle.

Bahahahaha

yea it really wasnt my idea I saw it on optics planet's user reviews. I do think it is rather stupid and makes us modern gun owners look somewhat like rich assholes
