Years back, I had an unquenchable hankerin’ to get me a high-fidelity replica of the M-41A Pulse rifle from the movie “Aliens.” No, I didn’t really have a good reason for wanting one, apart from “I want one.” Eventually I moved on with life without a Pulse Rifle; largely, the idea of spending enough money to buy a *real* gun for a fake geek gun seemed sufficiently uber-geeky to keep me from plunking down the funds.
But that Pulse Rifle is downright a wise investment compared to the whackjobs going bonkers over a new pair of *shoes.*

I would weep for the future if I wasn’t so busy laughing hysterically like a madman.
Maybe Obamacare will cover getting me one of them Star Trek Assault Phaser replicas?
