I bought Nandi's dress offa eBay for a song a little while after the show ended. Seems as though either no one cared that it was her costume, or no one knew that it was her costume. 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.
Wait wait wait! That is actually her dress??? Here I thought... Well, I shouldn't have thought it was just a nice copy of it, but so many folk here have great copies of the costumes and... Oooooh, I loved that dress from the first moment I laid eyes on it! I'm betting it wouldn't fit me, though, since you look a bit slimmer than me (and I won't ask how tall you are)
Still, about that fighting for it...?
Taking pictures, eh?
OK, well, now I have to go down to my workout room and take a few shots...
All right, a picture of me fighting my heavy bag:
I went and took seriously thirty pictures, and this is one of the only ones that didn't suffer from total over-blur. The others that weren't too blurry were because they caught me priming myself for a kick instead of actually kicking. Self timers! Digital cameras! Bah!

Hell's Kitten, I merely speak the truth. You are beautiful and very talented...even if you don't want to admit to either.
As for the inspirational part, I was just randomly shooting pictures, and remembered some of yours where the focus was on an ordinary object...then I tweaked the colors, gamma, contrast...a pale copy compared to some of yours, though. You have made me look at taking pictures in a whole new light.
And now look who's rambling....
CMH, yeah, I know what you mean about the trench coat. I have not worn it out in public in about ten years...
The idea with the pen is to not be near the guy with the gun. 
BWTP...when you get one of those, you MUST let us play with it!
HK again...you're killing me. Beauty. Poise. Those eyes...

They also make it in 9mm with a 30 round Thompson style magazine. My biggest problem with the 9mm model is that the magazine well is exactly the same, but the magazine itself is much narrower. This opens your feed port to all kinds of contamination.
There's a trade off to be sure. With the rifle ammunition you're going to lose some measure of accuracy if you don't mount an assault handle on the rail. Plus the ammo is more expensive than 9mm (unless you buy bulk military surplus). The cost trade off is in the magazines. The magazines for the 9mm model cost about $45 a pop. I can get 30 rd. M-16 mags for $4 each. Or I can have my buddy from my old unit mail me a bunch and only pay shipping (he'd only do it to the one's that are being phased out, not new ones). And what you lose in un assisted accuracy you make up in power and damage.
I'm also disappointed to hear they are phasing out the Class-A trench. I love that coat.

Gaiman is one of my favorite authors. I'm so jealous. And once I get my camera working I will be more than happy to help get this thread back on track.

Oh, yours are, I just feel bad because I was a contributor to the derailment. That's all I was sayin'.

Now, I may be a mere military wanna-be (twice applied, first to join the air force as a pilot at the end of high school, then to join the army as a grunt, stupid medical exclusions), but to the best of my knowledge (based on gaming and history books), the Thompson normally got used with an in-inline magazine. It was mostly in mafia movies that the drum mag got used.
And Rose, you know how your photos affect me. My silence in responding is normally a sign of being unable to type coherently.

If you find yourself getting too worked up about stuff that isn't real (RP Threads etc), then go outside, breathe in some fresh air and try feeding the ducks. (Because ducks don't care about your politics, religion, skin colour, choice of music or even your haircut. They like everyone, provided you bring them food.)

Gotcha! 'K, I just know sometimes pictures do weird things here and show up randomly as a red x of doom, so I thought I'd make sure.
And yes, qing ren, I know how they tend to affect you

You're absolutely right. The military issue Thompson had a standard vertical-feed magazine. I believe it was 30 rds, may have been more. The drum was used by the military (100 rds is great to have at your fingertips) but rarely on account of them jamming up frequently.

Quote:Normal is boring. I make the weirdos look normal. Oh yeah, and I agree with you on The Unit. Not only is it a damn fine show (I am a big fan of the creators) but seeing Summer on it with the special ops boyfriend was definitely cool, even though I have never been close to being active duty military (I am a civilian engineer for the AF, the closest I will ever come to that role).
