Cool Gear Insulated Skull Cups

Over the years, insulated cups have become a necessity for the simple fact they can handle hot and cold beverages and keep their temperatures running for some time from the moment they leave the container they originate from. Metalheads these days need such a cup when leaving their homes to go to their jobs and need the extra kick from the cup of joe. The container handling this job of keeping the beverage warm will do the job, but when dealing with Metalheads we always need that one thing that says we're Metal (aside the plethora of shirts, bumper stickers on the ass end of our car, and patches on our vest), and today's post has the edge for Metalheads to have their cup of joe while maintaining the calling card that makes us Metal.

Introducing Cool Gear's Insulated Skull Cups.

Totally Ghoul Tabletop Creatures Reaper

The Grim Reaper. If there was a being who has Metalocity running in its genetics minus the intention of being Metal, he is it. The fact that with one simple touch, your life ends. Aside the special power, it helps the guy has a skull for a head and a scythe to help him in his crusade of brining people over from the living to the dead side.

Halloween gives this being the opportunity to shine as his character is the perfect costume to have on those years the holiday crept up on people who forgot to buy a costume.

Today we look at a homage/decoration to the guardian of the dead world by way of the living world, the Totally Ghoul Tabletop Creatures Reaper.

Skull Poppin' Popper

Trinkets. Halloween is no stranger to it, and aside the touristy parts of a major city with its plethora of stores selling merchandise related to its destination in a sense of tackiness that has not been seen since a early 90's flick.

With Halloweens trinkets, Metalheads have trinkets to work/play with since most trinkets are focused for those outside of the culture. Today we look at what is quite possibly the most "trinkiest" article ever to grace the halls of Channel 13 (and Metal Trinkets). The Skull Poppin' Popper.

This is about as simple as it gets as far as what it is and does, and while the glitz and glam of some of the previous posts is not present, what it lacks in the stage lights of a Maiden show can more than make up for it in its simplicity. Plus it makes a killer office toy without the whole HR offices going royal navy on your ass.

Lantern Skull Water Globe

"The Blackest Night falls from the skies. The darkness grows as all light dies. We crave your hearts and your demise. By my black hand, the dead shall rise!". With this quote, you have the beginning of a very Metal tale that DC managed to pull off. While the lantern utilized is representative of who the Black Lantern Corps are, today's subject post would be perfect should they ever turn the aforementioned storyline into a kiddie version.

The Lantern Skull Water Globe. A simple Halloween decoration with details that are very Metal.

Essential Home Reaper Kitchen Cloth Set

Kitchen decorations. Until recently, it seems Metalheads were only left to sew a bunch of patches on aprons, oven mits, and chef hats. These days, all we have to do is wait patiently for the Halloween season to show up, go to one of the "big box" stores (today's parcels were located in Kmart), walk the seasonal section, and before you know it, instant decorations for a Metlaheads place of cooking.

Today we add some armaments to a place that burns, maims, cuts, shreds, mince, things that were once alive (without having to go to jail, unless you mean it).

Lighted Skull

Halloween decorations. One of the most Metal things to come out of brick and mortar stores. Typically, Metalheads go into these stores for things like snacks, frozen foods, soda-pop and beer.

One type of brick and mortar store that is especially geared towards Metalheads are the pharmacies like Walgreens and CVS, since they tend to be open either real late or 24 hours a day, 7 days a week including holidays. Like with their big-box (Walmart, Target) counterparts, the pharmacies have a seasonal section to bring the holidays to the masses.

Found at Walgreens, the Lighted Skull is one of the most \m/ METAL \m/ ways of using the Christmas lights in a Halloween decoration. See, we can *almost* get along with the Christmas holidays, as long as its under our terms.

Skull Silly Glasses

Silly glasses. Not the most Metal creation in the world for the simple fact that it has a lifespan of about 1 hour, tops. The reason for silly glasses is mainly to celebrate a holiday and after all is said and done, they either go in the closet with the decoration box or the garbage.

The best example is the New Years glasses. These are the ones with the number of the new year that is coming up next, and you usually see it in Times Square (New York City) while everybody is waiting patiently for the big ball to drop.

So where do Metalheads fit into this equation? The Skull Silly Glasses is the answer to the aforementioned inquiry.

Channel 13 Official Chalice

As promised from a previous post, this is Halloweens retaliation. For what reason Halloween is retaliating? The Christmas Holidays nudging in on what is considered our territory. It's only fitting if Christmas can invade Halloween, than Halloween can invade Christmas. Think of it like the Nightmare Before Christmas, but with trinkets. Metal trinkets. Onward to the North Pole to conquer Santas Workshop and make some real toys for the tormented kiddies.

As you can probably tell by the many beer posts we have had in Channel 13's existence, one object has become synonymous with our coverage the beverage Metalheads drink. B6E6E6R \m/ . It's plastic may be of crap construction, but it's menacing grin is all evil. It's tall stature is recognizable by the many who see it, and it has played supporting but very crucial role in halls of Channel 13.

Introducing Channel 13's Offical Chalice.
