What Smeagol calls the One Ring of Power. He thinks it belongs to him. In fact everyone who ever aquires it becomes madly posessive of it (because it is magic and affects their mind). It really belongs to Sauron tho.

Get the ski mask mug.An (in)famous drum played by Orangemen (of the Orange Order) in Northern Ireland.
It is massive, about 3 feet in diameter, and its two drumheads are made of goat skin.
When fully tightened, a lambeg is utterly deafening, with a noise output of 115 - 120 decibels. When nearby you don't just hear it.. you *feel* the subsonics all through your chest and gut. It can be heard 5-6 miles away.
The drum is played with two bamboo canes about 2 feet long each. It is carried like a bass drum. (But much bigger than a bass drum... makes the dude playing it look like an ant balancing a crumb.)
Commonly used as tools of intimidation, with drummers working shifts to keep the almost tribal-sounding drumming going through the night, in clear earshot of the "other side" (Catholics).

Get the vita mug.Fifty caliber.. a round of ammunition the bullet of which is a half inch (12.7mm) in diameter.
A common .50 cal round is the .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun), the round which is (unsurprisingly) designed for the Browning .50 caliber machine gun.
The BMG itself is the large belt-fed machine gun known as a Ma Deuce. It was invented at the time of WWII but has remained in manufacture to this day because it is a very sound and effective design which it would be kinda hard to really improve on.
Now however there are a lot of other guns, including shoulder-fired rifles and even a single-shot pistol, firing the BMG round.
Fifty can also refer to the weapon used to fire .50 caliber ammuntion.
