Doc Marten USB drive makes puppies look skinny, gristle throb

We've all been there: hands punched violently into pockets, conspicuously affected by the visceral industrial hum of big city decay. If only we had this $25 limited edition 50th anniversary 2GB "stomper" USB drive to complete our ensemble. Who knows, in the right hands it might have helped Jesus build a hotrod.

Oh man, I love my stompers.

They're quite lacking in the ability to transfer data though, so this is a good edition to the Airwalk lineup.

[aliaselchore Posted Aug 13th 2010 5:57AM]

2gb......that's all dr's cood get out there. Not a big Dr fan but they could of done better

[MastrCake Posted Aug 13th 2010 5:59AM]

C'mon Engadget... It's Friday the 13th. Where the hell is Jason?

[lalex2 Posted Aug 13th 2010 9:17AM]

@MastrCake in the bloody footprint ;)

[TheIcemanCometh Posted Aug 13th 2010 12:26PM]

@lalex2 I love what they're doing with that today. Awesome.

[MastrCake Posted Aug 13th 2010 4:24PM]

@MastrCake

That bloody footprint is new...

Hooray! Jason's here to kill us all!

[Marko Posted Aug 13th 2010 6:06AM]

Humping dog is still better!

[Tes Posted Aug 13th 2010 6:08AM]

Wait...no jokes about "Booting" from USB yet?

The shame Engadget...the shame.

[todrick Posted Aug 13th 2010 10:56AM]

@Tes

They were too busy throwing out as many industrial music references as possible.

I got Skinny Puppy, Throbbing Gristle and Ministry... Did I miss any?

[Maclovinit Posted Aug 13th 2010 5:18PM]

@Tes I made a reference on it, it was just after your comment

[tophat Posted Aug 13th 2010 6:09AM]

There's not enough things shaped like shoes.

[iptydafu Posted Aug 13th 2010 6:12AM]

THOMAS RICKER, YOU ARE A GOD!

[Chuuchdizzle Posted Aug 13th 2010 6:15AM]

The most anarchist of all flashdrives?

[networkjct Posted Aug 13th 2010 6:16AM]

Ok is there some skinhead/neo-nazi theme going on today with the doc marten usb drive and Hitler theme? Not trying to be a dumb @as but when I was Europe the skins often wore doc martens. Just asking.

[Marko Posted Aug 13th 2010 6:19AM]

@networkjct - as does everyone else (:

[SomEngangVar Posted Aug 13th 2010 7:00AM]

@networkjct

Skinhead /= Nazi.

[kadajawi Posted Aug 13th 2010 8:44AM]

@networkjct Punks, goths etc. like them too. And esp. punks usually aren't nazis.

[leigh Posted Aug 13th 2010 12:59PM]

@networkjct I have friends that are into industrial and some have doc martens or usually demonia's. They aren't nazi's. What an ignorant assumption.

[networkjct Posted Aug 13th 2010 1:45PM]

@leigh as i said @ leigh it was just an observation i was NOT trying to be an @ss or ignorant so you can keep your bitterness to yourself honey. Happy Friday to you.

[jappleng Posted Aug 13th 2010 6:18AM]

And to my dearest Engadget, I leave to you...
Engadget: A USB drive???
No, a boot to the head! *throws boot*

[bvabhi Posted Aug 13th 2010 6:24AM]

How about a flashdrive with the car key attached to it with a finger print reader for security so that your ex girlfriend can't take away your car and the pics of her !!!

[TheRealCJ Posted Aug 13th 2010 7:14AM]

Thaaaat's it, let it aaaaaall out.

[I Dont Need To Eat Posted Aug 13th 2010 6:48AM]

These boots are made for savin'. And that's just what they'll do.

[maxnaylor Posted Aug 13th 2010 7:22AM]

Could someone please explain the headline?

[ouzelum Posted Aug 13th 2010 7:31AM]

@maxnaylor Skinny Puppy and Throbbing Gristle were industrial bands back in the day. This headline made my day.

[maxnaylor Posted Aug 13th 2010 7:40AM]

@ouzelum Cheers dude!

[todrick Posted Aug 13th 2010 11:08AM]

@maxnaylor

Also "it might have helped Jesus build a hotrod."

Is a reference to the song 'Jesus Built My Hot Rod' by the band Ministry

[dicobalt Posted Aug 13th 2010 8:26AM]

This would make a good boot drive. :P

[mcryans Posted Aug 13th 2010 10:00AM]

References to Skinny Puppy and Ministry? Wow, that took me back to my youth. Thanks Engadget!

[jcf Posted Aug 13th 2010 10:39AM]

Best string of band references ever. cheers.

[Maclovinit Posted Aug 13th 2010 11:03AM]

That gives a whole new meaning to "Boot" drive

[mykymyk Posted Aug 13th 2010 12:08PM]

A Throbbing Gristle reference in my morning blog?
Well played Ricker, well played.

[jdamien75 Posted Aug 13th 2010 12:42PM]

jesus built my car
it's a love affair
mainly jesus and my hot rod

hah, funny to see these song references while i'm listening to FLA & Slick Idiot...

[leigh Posted Aug 13th 2010 12:57PM]

Skinny puppy, Throbbing Gristle references=Win. Very cute drive imo.

[Dialog Posted Aug 13th 2010 1:24PM]

I'm sure you could use this device to =assimilate= your data...

[TPAYNE87 Posted Aug 13th 2010 2:19PM]

How much you want to bet that bloody footprint is the same shoe size of Jason.

[Rosco911 Posted Aug 13th 2010 5:32PM]

YEAH JASON!!!

[Caspan Posted Aug 17th 2010 10:39AM]
