Hi,

ironically, its probably one of the few areas of the UK with a higher-than-average gun owning population, as its a big farming/wildlife area.

Also, of course, not so many police and resources there.

Or as many CCTV cameras.

Cheers,

I have a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel.

And in totally unrelated news, either an air raid is occurring or a tornado is on the way to my motel. If I'm not at the Con tomorrow, you'll know why.

Do witches have webbed feet so they can swim?

FBI data indicates that crime rates have dropped in every state after the concealed carry legislation is passed and murder rates are well below where they were 10 years ago. But then again, anyone who has a CCW permit has had a full background check, has never been convicted of a felony, and has never been convicted of any drug offense. But then if you go to the trouble of obtaining the CCW permit, chances are it's not because you plan on committing a crime. It's the nut jobs you have to watch out for.

I believe that's New Hampshire - Live Free of Die!

Arghhh! Low budget war movies withput the benefit of a single military advisor.

Checked out The Hunt For Eagle One from my library. First scene, marines coming ashore, they jump out of their inflatables and run together in a big bunch up this hill... that was it for me. It was a Starship Troopers moment without the whimsy.

Ahh Rutger Hauer, how far he has fallen.

Yes, this type of stuff always makes me change the channel.

Aww, man. Just mentioning Rutger Hauer reminds me of his Tears in the Rain speech at the end of Blade Runner. Never fails to give me goosebumps no matter how many times I've seen it.

Is something wrong with RPG Marketplace, or is it just my PC? Anytime I click on an item description I get an error message.

I just thought I'd post a picture of my new little girl, a little puppy named Hershey. She's much more adorable in the fur.

Sorry, but I don't find cross-dressing to be particularly fascinating... Now a slave Leia outfit maybe... But no, not dressing as males.

I dont see this as having anything to do with crossdressing. Crossdressing is when a male wears female clothing or vice versa. These are females wearing clothing made for females. The role of the original characters doesnt really come into play here IMO. But I guess if you feel the need to see it that way it's your perogative.
