The Official Sin City Molly’s Escort Service Zippo®

Robert Rodriquez’s Sin City was definitely one of the coolest movies of 2005. There’s been tons of Sin City merchandise, but nothing is quite as rugged as this chrome Sin City Zippo. Yes, it’s the real deal, with all the Zippo quality you expect. Practically indestructible, always reliable, and dig that artwork! You’ll feel like Mickey Rourke when you light up with this. Zippo lovers take note, this comes with all the usual Zippo warranty and guarantees, it just looks a hell of a lot cooler than the standard “naked” Zippo lighter.

The Wireless Extenders Cell Phone Range Booster

Having an iPhone is almost pointless if your reception is total crap. The average Joe spends at least 50 hours at home every week, you deserve to be connected to the outside world while you’re there. Do you have to find the “sweet spot” in your place to make a cell call? Do you have to have an ordinary phone line as a backup for your lousy reception? Life between cell towers sucks. You could flush your phone down the office toilet, but calmer heads will advise you to invest in a range booster. This model by Wireless Extenders works on the 850MHz frequency, which serves AT&T/Cingular and Verizon customers.

Visiball V700 Golf Vision System

Golf is about strolling to the green and watching the other guys piss and moan about sand traps, water hazards, and bad lies. Sure, you whack one into the twilight zone once in a while, but why give the others the satisfaction of joining the lost- ball club? These special golf shades block out colors on the fairway that obstruct your view of the ball, and they can also be used to read the green. Is that a nasty slope, or just a trick of the light? Don’t be fooled by the morning sun, use the shades. If your golf game sucks more than a Nickelback album, you can always hide your shame-filled eyes behind the blue lenses. They won’t see you crying, honest.
