Pleased to meet you. Any lass o' Scotland is a friend o' mine. Haen't seen ye before but I like your online name (what's your favorite comic?) and I see you used my signature line (part of it anyway) in your post.
Now that I've completely put you off, please ignore me and meet the rest of those you might not know, who I promise won't be quite as given to affectations as I am.
"Well, here I am...Does that seem right to you?"

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance Hobbleit! You remind me a bit of my sister-in-law. Hope to see more of you. Floyd, eh? You show promise...

Yeah, maybe... I just shouldn't kid myself, maybe I should just go and find something to hit like I always do. ANGST!
I can't believe she didn't respond to you, man. I about started blubbering like an idiot when I read your post. It stayed with me for days. I should have said something sooner, but damn there's always so much going on around here. Anyway, I wuz very touched. And I didn't find it at all creepy

Hell's Kitten - Glad you like the photo. You got a nice dress there, reminds me of a phoenix or something. I've wanted to dress up like a character from the Verse', but I'd feel embarrassed. Yeah, me, the guy wearing jammies in his signature pic....
Also, the color blond poisons the brain. Unless it's your natural hair color, I'd switch back to red... I bet that sounds a lot more offensive than I meant it to.
I'm sure Kit's fine with you. (might even fancy you, although I think the pic is cool, too) Blond or no, the shortness is relatively new, isn't it? Now, see if you went back to red, you could easily affect Sheena Easton in her prime. As a blond, hmmm. I don't know but you remind me of someone. Anyone care to help?

Also? "the color blond poisons the brain. Unless it's your natural hair color, I'd switch back to red... I bet that sounds a lot more offensive than I meant it to." - Yeah, but I'm very careful with the bleach! Heh, okay, I'm not, but I'm rather fond of blonde at the moment. I've been considering going back to Dangerous Redhead, but I'm not quite ready for that yet.
You see, CMH? I told you she fancies you.

Harlan...Ellison...*buh* You're just teasing us now. So, was he really a bastard?

It's absolutely gorgeous, completely hand sewn. I get nervous every time I touch it - partially because it seems so delicate, but also because, I mean, Nathan was ALL over that dress - and I couldn't believe it actually fit. Except for the part where I'm apparently way shorter than Melinda Clarke. Oh, look how I ramble. Shiny.
You have a piece of the show. Sure, it's not like having a piece of Mal, but I'm sure you prolly feel like it's the next best thing...

I love that this thread has reverted to pictures of people with their preferred tools of mayhem. It's like, pictures of people with their pets, but 20 times cooler. Y'know, unless your pet's a tiger or something.
ROXYFREEFALL - You could land yourself a role in an action movie with that shot. The eyes fit well with the pose. Any info on the piece you're holding there?
TRISTRAN - Love the trench coat mafia shot. I got 3 trench coats myself, one military issue that goes over the Class A uniform (which is sadly phased out come 2009). Spiffy to wear, but don't you hate how cliche' those things are now? It's like, between Matrix and Columbine, no one get legitimately pull that look off anymore.
Whatever, they're still warm in the Winter.
I also remember a saying, something like "The pen is mightier than the sword, but useless in the hands of a dead man." Being the stubborn, aggressive sumbitch that I am, I tend to agree.
BABYWITHTHEPOWER - Anyone who picks a Heckler and Koch for their firearm's got my (initial) respect. That's a damn decent rifle. They also manufacture my favorite handgun.
Speaking of which... I've never understood the desire to shoot a rifle round out of a handgun, but... have fun with that.
JonnyQuest - I really regret even posting something like that on this forum. I'm not the least bit surprised I never got a response from her, unless it had been in the form of a restraining order. I've never really been on the same page as normal people, and my time in didn't help matters much. Anyways, a bullet extracted on Valentines Day (did I mention that part?), it seemed like I should do something with it. I don't expect anyone else to understand the sentiment, it's a little too personal and emotion driven to explain or use logic with. Just made sense to me. Anyways, it's enough for me, having been able to express myself makes me happy.
And switching topics to the Bushmaster, I don't wanna steal anyone's thunder, so I'll just reiterate what I said before: It's a handgun that fires 5.56 rifle ammunition.

Place my body on a ship and burn it on the sea,
Let my spirit rise, Valkiries carry me.
Take me to Valhalla where my brothers wait for me.
Fires burn into the sky, my spirit will never die.

That my friend, is the finest pistol made by man. Unfortunately, it's not currently in my collection, but I plan on rectifying that (It runs $1,095, so I'm saving now). And yes, this one will have the distinct honor of being named Vera. And for you're reading enjoyment, here is the information on this weapon.
The Bushmaster Carbon 15 Type 97S.
The Upper and Lower Receivers are molded of state of the art Carbon Fiber 15 material that offers incredible durability, strength and ultra-light weight. The pistol’s stainless steel, match grade barrel is chambered for the 5.56 NATO cartridge and readily accepts the .223 Remington cartridge as well.
The P97S Upper Receiver features a full length anodized aluminum Picatinny rail that includes integral front and rear iron sights. The windage adjustable rear sight is a combination ghost ring and precision aperture flip-up. The square post front sights offers elevation adjustments for fine zeroing. The Picatinny rail allows the option of mounting a wide variety of auxiliary sighting systems such as long eye relief and standard scopes, red dot, holographic, or laser sights. A similar rail extends the full length of the bottom of the hand guard allowing for the attachment of flashlights and accessories.
Function controls on the Type 97S are in the familiar AR15 layout, and for additional safety, the safety selector lever markings are color coded on both sides of the lower receiver to quickly determine the firing status of the pistol. An ergonomically designed Hogue Overmolded pistol grip is fitted for comfort and a chrome plated bolt bolt carrier is used for long wear and easy cleaning.
Caliber: 5.56mm or .223 Rem.
Magazine Capacity: 30 Rounds (accepts all M16/AR15 type)
Overall Length - Pistol: 20" [50.8 cm]
Barrel Length: 7.25" [18.42 cm]

Weight of empty magazine: .25 lbs. [.11 kg]
Weight of loaded magazine1.0 lbs. [.45 kg]

(For those who don't know - Neil Gaiman is the man in black; Harlan Ellison is the other badass mo-fo)
I don't really know Harlan, so I'm not qualified to call him a bastard, and I really don't think I ever would.
( My friends know him, though - http://www.flickr.com/photos/sara013/145358195/in/set-7205759410447323

I've only been to dinner / lunch / whatever with him and friends a handful of times over the past several years. He is one of the most wonderful public speakers I've ever seen (and his wife, Susan, is an absolute charm). I don't think I would ever tire of listening to him, I simply adore him. Anyways. Sure, he can be... abrasive... in some instances, but if you're honest and decent and not-a-dick, you'll get along just fine.
And, um, when you were talking about "blond" and a shorter haircut and reminding you of someone... were you talking to me? I sometimes get confused in posts where multiple people are addressed.
Aaaaaaand in effort to keep the thread from too much drift, here I am after work, angry, annoyed, and in my frivolously purchased new leather coat:

So who exactly is this Harlan Ellison guy? I forgot to ask in my last post.
