Apr 30 2008Water-Cooled Shirt Keeps You, Well, Cool
The Cool Shirt is a water-cooled t-shirt. It keeps you cool. Not cool in a "I'm gonna get mad laid in this Geekologie t-shirt" way, but rather in a "not warm or hot" way. They were designed for race car drivers, and pump 45-60 degree water around your nipples through 50 feet of rubber hose. You just plug the ends into a pump, and away you go. Since I couldn't find any pricing info, and my trusty Metro doesn't have any AC, I decided to make my own for the hot summer months. Unfortunately, the water was recently cut off in my tenement, so I had to use bourbon instead. Well this morning I was halfway to the grocery store when a crappy song came on the radio and really pissed me off. I yanked one of the tubes out of the pump and let it work all that delicious bourbon down my throat. I got drunk pretty fast (drinking out of a straw gets you drunk faster) and drove my car through a Hardees. I made the most of the situation though and had a delicious order of biscuits and gravy before the police got there. In hindsight, filling the shirt with bourbon was a bad idea. Vodka or gin is probably the way to go.

Thanks to Wes, who everyone finds both hot and cool

Race car drivers have been using these for years.

I hit my wife when Rusty Wallace loses.

@1: If you'll notice, the article already includes that information. "They were designed for race car drivers".
That said, a reasonably-priced consumer version of this would be pretty cool. No pun intended.

I could seriously use this when conventions come up during the summer. Throwing a couple thousand sweaty nerds in costumes in a small activity hall gets uncomfortable fast, this could take a bite out that heat.

~$250 for the shirt, plus another $400 for the pump and water cooler... eek!

Wow Neal, your attention to the article is amazing!
Funny that people want to post first on these blogs as quickly as they can so they can sit back in their chairs and think "Damn, I really did something significant today. I posted first".
I would do as the writer did and fill this bastard with alcohol (preferably vodka) and, what am I saying, I just shove the bottle down my sweater between the girls and proceed to party.
7. awesome! - April 30, 2008 2:13 PM
Sophie, you are my kind of woman. We should party sometime.

*yawn* Dammit, I'm tired today. It's probably because I got one of these shirts and filled it with Patron silver, and then I insisted on going for a jog. But of course one gets thirsty when one is jogging, so I was drunk by the time I got home.
Passing out before noon and then waking up before 1:00 is the show of a TRUE lover of the drinky-drink. Now excuse me, I have a date with some aspirin and coffee.

50 bucks a pop! Nothing I can't find at places I already shop.
Seems my stupid ideas only come to me as I write so that's why I'm writing now. Nope! Didn't work.
In other news: I plan to go home and watch reruns of M*A*S*H.
11. Huh? - April 30, 2008 3:20 PM
@ all of you losers.
I just wanted to point out that all of your comments look like pathetic attempts to be as funny as the Geekologie writer. Are you hoping he will offer you a job as a not-so-funny assistant or something?
Maybe you can all start your own blog:
kindalikegeekologiebutnotnearlyasclever.com
12. NotConfused - April 30, 2008 3:59 PM
@11 Huh?
You seem a little confused. I believe you are in the wrong site.
www.asshole.com is where you wanna go.
This way you can vent out of both assholes at the same time.
You don't enjoy jokes, don't read the comments. No on is applying for anything and if they were they sure wouldn't need your approval.
13. Neal - April 30, 2008 4:16 PM
Damn Sophie. I don't care (nor did I know) that I was first, and I knew it was in the article that it was designed for race car drivers, I was just saying I've known about this thing for like 8 years now and I thought this site was about new tech.
14. Sophie - April 30, 2008 4:19 PM
Yeah, he posts old stuff ALL the time. It's kind of a running joke, don't take it too seriously : p
15. Neal - April 30, 2008 4:45 PM
Ha, thats cool, I'm a noob anyway. I just a happened upon this site like 3 hours ago.
16. SmokingGirl - April 30, 2008 5:12 PM
Sometimes the comments section is funnier than the posting of the actual Geekologie writer, however, it's nice to know that the Geekologie guy has his own ass kisser now.
You've made it now, Geekologie guy...you've made it now. *applauds*
17. Not #11 but somebody who agrees with him - April 30, 2008 5:25 PM
I have to agree with #11. You people aren't funny. Your jokes are downright embarrassing at times.
