But the best thing about it, is the fashion statement. And I'm not much one for fashion. It stands out. When you trod along kicking the Halliburton, people notice. You can watch their eyes drift down to the case. One look at it says a thousand words. Words like "bomb", "cocaine", "unmarked $20 bills", "negotiable bonds", "guns", "classified documents", "plutonium", etc.. When I plod around the campus I attend classes at, I get asked at least once a week, without fail, "what's in the case?" I have about a dozen answers. "Schemes and plans" tends to be my favorite.

Now, thanks to TSA, everyone is going to have one. It's like when your favorite band gets popular with people you hate. I feel it coming. DAMNIT.

Update: Must... fight... turning into hipster.. must.. not.. turn.. into.. hipster..

It's all those 1980s and 1990s movies that used them for those purposes and now people have reached the spending demographic where they want the sexy aluminum case because of the movies. It's the ultimate in subliminal advertising.

The movie I watched the most growing up was The Blues Brothers (thank you TBS, for purchasing it time and time again). Look at the car I now drive. Makes complete sense, subliminal imprinting.

Now where'd I put that order form for a Zero Halliburton case.... ;-)

RE: ZERO Halliburton going mainstream. NOOOOO!!!!
