Thanks! It really got a lot easier when I realized I could just treat him like a buddy who had too much to drink and is kind of pissy. He really is a blast when he's in a good mood. We had this little conversation at a dance the company I work for had for the clients. He got to go for about 45 minutes before dude got too over-socialized for his comfort.

:haw:: Dylan?
:cthulhu:: Yeah, buddy?
:haw:: Do you, uhh... see da girl in da green stretchy pants?
:cthulhu:: I sure do, dude. (I was also admiring the green stretchy pants. Apparently his phobia of tight clothing doesn't extend to cute girls in yoga pants.)
:haw:: Ilidat. (He expresses enjoyment by hissing "I like that." as one word and it's the funniest thing ever. All of his staff ends up doing it.)

And now I need a tank. I already own a Soviet flag, so many opportunities. :allears:

Yes it is! Then I got to the office and saw the garden of neck tattoos, including the one my interviewer had.

With so many goons with birds I have to know: Have any of you tried playing Hatebeak around them? I've tried playing Caninus around dogs and it didn't go well.

Edit again: I really love my job. I have a degree in English/Secondary Education. I finished the degree because I was a semester from completing it when I realized I really don't want to teach. I wanted to be in a classroom because I was a transplant to the bumpkin town I grew up in and my teachers made me feel less lonely. I wanted to make someone feel better about being who they are and I get to do that now. It didn't really hit me until I looked at my Philosophy of Education essay from college and realized I used this Vonnegut quote in it.

Angled fore grips do not make it an SBR, only a vertical fore grip does that. She is legal and :c00lbert:

As has already been pointed out, if it was legally a rifle, it would be a class III firearm (short barreled rifle) and require the same licensing as a fully automatic weapon. I believe they get away with it by the fact that is has no shoulder-stock at all. A shoulder-stock or the mentioned vertical fore-grip would make it class III.

Also agree that nobody in that photograph has any need to lose weight (unlike myself).

Thank you! I didn't have to be the one correcting things for once. :D

...granted, I'll have to correct you on the :c00lbert: part, as I have not fired it. I've watched others fire it, though. It is really loving loud, really inaccurate, the fireball is big, and there's a visible blast wave (which is really awesome) when firing in a grassy area from the soundwave and/or fireball. :ohdear: Maybe I'll fire it once my SO pays his however much to wait 6 months for the gubermint to say it's okay to put a stock on it (I grew up with shotguns and trap shooting, so I like a gun I can brace against my shoulder; that being said, I did shoot regular pistols for the first time recently and it was pretty cool). And also once it's sighted in. Because it's kind of poo poo right now.

Random FYI: I've been informed that, technically, it might be maybe okay to put an arm brace on it right now because of a legal loophole that may or may not be closing because of some recent legal activity or another. So that's also a thing. 'Murican gun laws are weird. And I made it clear he wasn't getting it unless it was 100% legal (he registered it and got it at a shop that ran a background check and whatnot).

SO would prefer to pay the $$$ and short-barrel rifle it, though, so I don't think he'll be putting an arm brace on it (also all the ??? about which way the laws are going makes both of us leery). And he's been too busy Warhammering it up, so I don't see that happening anytime soon anyway.

I don't care one way or another (as long as it's legal, of course), I just think it's neat.

I mean, I'm 30 lbs lighter than I was then, so that's more of the thing I was going for than "OMG I WAS SO FAT!" :byodame:. It's less of a "Wow I needed to lose weight" and more of a "Cool, look at that, I'm different now." I don't know. I'm weird.

I was on a bike/walk trail by the river, and I have pretty poor eyesight, and saw what I thought were three rollerbladers, rocking back and forth. I looked back again and they were gone. Hmm. Kept walking. Turn, they are close, and one is taller than the others.

Oh. Look. Black bears. I just kept walking. I got to a little rest area with the back to the bushes. I heard rustling and thought, wow girl, get your stupid rear end away from the bushes. I got up calmly and walked to the cars. Stood there wondering what else I could have done. I am a country girl and should have had some idea other than walking along with bears.

The tall bear was smelling me. I figured that out later. I guess I smelled pretty okay. It was creepy that they were following me, but there was no harmful intent obviously. I still feel stupid though.
