That's.........disturbing. Unfortunately I've seen that one before too. I was hoping it had been purged from my memory. Thanks for reintroducing it.commandZee wrote:MilSurpFreak wrote:Just a few of my favorites.

I definitely dig the old Commodore and was stoked when someone bought the brandname to re-release. You can actually get a reasonably specced desktop built into one of the old C64 boxes for a not (completely) insane price. http://www.commodoreusa.net/cusa_c64.aspx\MilSurpFreak wrote: Thanks. They're great machines. I really wanted a C64 back in the 80's but since it was $50 more I ended up with a TI99/4A instead. I've made up for it in spades since then. Got a bunch of stuff now I never could have afforded back then, including a C128D and A500. You should replace the ones you lost. Look on Ebay. I've gotten a lot of classic computers and game systems from there. The Atari 2600 in the pic is my original one from 1980. Still works great and I use it regularly.

Double-edged knives are a no-no in Texas.

last I checked, it was just a restriction on length (under 5.5") and no switchblades etc... did they change it?Simmer down wrote:Double-edged knives are a no-no in Texas. I guess I don't stab enough people to rationalize spending nearly $300 on a sweeeeet blade anyway.
Oddly enough, in some areas of the country, knife laws are more restrictive than gun laws.Collector1337 wrote:Can't own a double-edged knife in Texas? WTF is that nonsense? It's a fucking knife for Christ's sake. What's next, no flashlights?
Neat blades.

and yea, the new Ek knives are awesome... I'd love to get a new one to go with mine from the 40s, but the price is a bit prohibitive
Looks like it should last. Nice for throwing too. But not for PRACTICING throwing.wlewisiii wrote:Neat blades.

I'm not much of a photographer either, but I'm looking forward to giving this a try.

Anyhow, I think its possible that the prop designer may have been influenced buy the Kurgan sword hilt.
Thanks. Learned something new again- about Star Trek and how to use that ninja turtle cylon emoticon.MilSurpFreak wrote:commandZee wrote:Ah... Thanks, I learned something new. I was coming from a different part of the Comic-Con nerd spectrum.MilSurpFreak wrote:Actually a D'K Tahg is Klingon.

Actually Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, wherein the D'K Tahg made it's first appearance was released in 1984. Highlander came out in 1986 so it's probably the other way around as far as one influencing the other. They're both pretty damn cool though. I'd like to have an example of the two of them in my collection.
I think it's cool that you remembered that specific blade from Highlander. I watched that one again recently and didn't make the connection. Nerds unite.
I know exactly what you mean. BTW, nice avatar pic, looks just like my sunburst Strat which is one of my favorite things!rolandson wrote:I don't know how to describe this, there are a couple here who will 'get' instantly what I mean...The smell.
I don't know what it is exactly, but from the day it was made (40+ years ago) these things generate a very distinctive
aroma whenever they are fired up...that has never changed.
So as I sat through my weekly ritual of powering this, and its little sibling, up to keep the
filter caps charged, the aroma caught me and I thought of this as one of my very favorite things.
