Slow News Day

I have been running out of things to post for a while so have a picture instead.  Completely unrelated to anything really, just that I would love to know the story behind this picture.  I wonder if this is even real.

New SRU Recruits

Another Friday night and another fun night at TTAC3.  This time, Shawn was kind enough to grace us with his presence.  This was also the first time that we came out in our SRU impression from the TV series Flashpoint.  We had talked about this for several years but it was not until recently that I managed to find a place that sell the gray pants we needed to complete the look.  I am hoping that several more team members would join us in this impression *cough* Colin *cough*.

Surefire M952

My Surefire M952 finally came in the mail today.  After having my old M951 shot out at TTAC3, I had the option of sending my old one to Surefire or purchase a newer light.  I fully intended to get my old one repaired until I saw this light for sale at $200.  I could not resist as these lights retail close to $500 brand new.  This light is brand new so I was more than happy to pay the price.

Eight Skilled Gentlemen

I am currently reading the final book in Barry Hughart's chronicles of Master Li and Number Ten Ox.  The last book in the three book series, I am so far enjoying it.  I have read the two previous books, Bridge of Birds and The Story of the Stone.  The series was introduced to me by my friend Peter who is an avid reader.

As I have read through half of this book, I am sad that this tale is coming to an end as I quite enjoy the characters in this series.  Unfortunately, the author only ever wrote these three books and credited his incompetent editors and publishers for his stopping.

Man-Purse

My latest order from LAPG have finally arrived and I could not be happier as it brought me the item that I wanted for a while now, my man-purse.  Actually, it is the Active Shooter Bag made by Maxpedition.

Man-Jammies

Airsoft for 2012 kicked off with a bang at TTAC3 tonight.  With a full house of solid shooters, the games were fast paced and a great time was had by all.  As usual, I decided to go against the norm and went with my set of what is referred to as man-jammies.  In actuality, it is my impression of a CIA SAD operative in Afghanistan.  It is quite hard to find reference to them seeing as they are the CIA and all, but a quick search on YouTube for Qala-i-Janggi will show what I mean.  This was when a prison revolt in said area took place where many Taliban fighters were held and the CIA was there to interview them.

In any case, I always have fun wearing this impression, though most people, even seasoned airsofters would just say Taliban.  Plus it gave me an excuse to use an AK as well.

Disturbance in the Force?

Perhaps it was my close brush with death, or too much jjajangmyun in my belly but the night sky looked kind of odd.  Was it a rip in the space-time-continuum or a sign of the end of days, I cannot say for certain but WTF!!  The sky should not look like that.  The picture may not be too clear and do it justice but I had two other witnesses with me.

The scientist in some of you will say that the picture was taken close to 6PM and as the days are getting longer again, it is possible for the sky to have a heavy cloud cover simulating night time conditions but a small break in cloud cover showed the actual blue sky.  I would have to see your credentials before I can take your word for it.

Running Man

I am completely addicted to this Korean variety TV show.  The premise is simple, the show's large cast and the weekly special guest(s) must perform certain tasks in order to have better chances of getting out of the punishment at the end.  The tasks are always different and usually result in many funny moments throughout the show.  This is also greatly helped by the diverse permanent cast and how they interact with one another.  In all the segments, there is always the running man aspect where teams are formed and tasked with eliminating the other teams, hence the title of the show.  This show also takes place over various famous landmarks and locales around Korea.  For special events, they have even traveled to Thailand and Hong Kong.

Give it a shot.  A search through YouTube will reveal many clips and if one is so inclined, sign up at iSubs' website and download the show, completely translated into English.

My Collection So Far...

As I was cleaning the closet where I store all my guns, I decided to take a family picture.  Seeing as the guns were piled neatly in the living room anyway.
