    Loosened ties...

    I'll loosen the tie and/or roll my sleeves (ink stains :( ) in my office. But if a client is coming in, or I step out of my office, I put it all back together. Heck, if I didn't have windows I'd take off my pants to preserve the creases. And because I like not wearing pants. :D And...

    Wifebeaters?

    In the US, in my labeling system: Wifebeater is exclusively the (usually ribbed) white (well, sometimes grey), sleeveless, "A-line" undershirt. Hanes, BVD, Jockey. Not designed to be worn without a shirt on top. That's the key, you're wearing an undershirt, it's tacky (at least in public)...

    Actor Heath Ledger Is Found Dead

    They may not have been hyper-accurate, but the man made some darn entertaining historical (lite) films. Ned Kelly Four Feathers Casanova Patriot Knight's Tale Beyond the looks, a modern actor who actually acted.

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    I'd google for sheath makers or custom leather workers in Jersey. A Kabar is about as big a knife as I find comfortable carrying. If I need a sword I'm doing something wrong. :D

    Apparently with a tiger hair brush. Annabelle, our old elephant up here, used to do art.

    There's something RIGHT in the state of Denmark

    That's a question for the bureaucracy. The Prince, in this case, wanted and planned to go. The high command felt he would actually draw more attacks from the insurgents due to his political position, thus increasing the normal threat to his men. It'd be different if the Brits were...

    There's something RIGHT in the state of Denmark

    ARV? Armored Reconnaisance Vehicle? Not familiar with the acronym. The Prince commanded a Scimitar (light armored recon vehicle) squadron of vehicles. I prefer to do my recon on foot. Things that look like little tanks tend to get shot at by things designed to kill real tanks. On...

    There's something RIGHT in the state of Denmark

    Yes, I said the Netherlands. Shall I have my crow raw or can I grill it a little. :eusa_doh: Thank you for calling me on the error and my tone. :o I got all hot and bothered and typed without thinking, flipped one "D" country with another. As a matter of fact I intended to remove the...

    There's something RIGHT in the state of Denmark

    RIOT, We're both wrong. :D It's a Canadian C7 (Canuck-produced Colt M16 pattern rifle) variant. Good call on the scope. :eusa_clap

    There's something RIGHT in the state of Denmark

    M16A4 (probably). Same 20" barrel as the A2 but with a flat-top receiver. The Marines went to them along with the M4. As for criticizing her service. Just because there isn't a current extant military threat to the Netherlands does not diminish her willingness to be trained for...

    ATLANTA SNOW - A good day to own a hat!

    The smug satisfaction of having a warm, dry head when everyone else has wet hair makes up for all the snide comments. :D

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    Ain't that always the truth. They seem to follow me home and breed in the drawers. You've reminded me to check on my old Ka-Bar. Gave it to a buddy to make a sheath for me. Time to get it back. That thing has as much time in the Marine Corps as I do. :D

    Not to be pendantic but the actual model name is "Auto & Burglar". Real common typo. Bit of info on it, complete with libertarian rant. :D http://www.ncc-1776.org/tle1997/le970315-03.html

    www.findlaw.com is your friend for state statutes. Reading and maneuvering through statutes takes a bit of getting used to if you don't have a legal background. 724.4 Carrying weapons. ... 2. A person who goes armed with a knife concealed on or about the person, if the person uses the...

    Sword Canes...

    Not to go too far afield, but the history of knife laws (to include sword canes) has a not-commonly recognized basis. Fear of the underclass and immigrants, in short, racism. Firearms have always been expensive, especially compared to something as simple as a knife or bludgeon. As they...

    Sword Canes...

    There is a caveat in the statute. You can have it at school, but you can't own one as a private individual. Obviously private persons possess all sorts of MA weapons and take them to tournaments and such so the law is no doubt selectively enforced. Don't look like a thug or be doing...
