I’ve said it before: the Internets can be a dangerous place. I always search with Google SafeSearch turned off because I hate it when engineers decide for me what I do and don’t want to see. I’m not as worried about coming across sites that aren’t suitable for work (NSFW); I can judge that pretty easily from the search results. What I’m really worried about is coming across sites that aren’t suitable for lunch (NSFL). Or will scar me for life. I found such a site yesterday.

I need to find one of those hats that holds beer cans. Obviously.

My quest at local stores didn’t turn up much, so I turned to Al Gore’s Greatest Invention for help. Unfortunately, a carelessly phrased Google search resulted in my stumbing upon a result on which I had a car accident-like you-don’t-want-to-look-but-you-have-to need to click.

More after the jump (NSFL).

I’m not much of a “gamer” (unless Snood counts.) Apparently, gamers use headsets to communicate with teammates and “intimidate” opponents. By “intimidate” I mean “yell at strangers across the internet while sitting in their boxers in their parent’s basement. While in their thirties.”

Anyway, here is what appears to be a state-of-the-art example of such a headset:

From the builder (pictured, I’m guessing):

I added a fan, a microphone, some totally bling cathodes and a switch to turn everything on and off. The power supply I use has voltage control as well so like, you can change the fan speed alongside how bright the cathodes are. Only has 3 things to plug in, too. I think I look cooler than anything ever now, my frag rate has doubled, and three women have proposed to me since I started wearing this in the streets.

It leaves me wishing I could poke out my mind’s eye.
