    !!STORY TIME!! The Journey of Shorty and Longman by:HOGOKANSATSUKAN

    I've been away from CPF for a while and when I come back this is the first thing I find. Good grief, and I thought I was weird... Carry on, please! We want more! :crackup::crackup::crackup:

    Darwin Award candidate

    For the record, I am not American, nor will I ever be, so the 2nd amendment and the Great American Gun Debate do not concern me. However, I actually do care a little bit about it, because most (if not all) of my American internet-friends and acquaintances are pro-gun. For what it's worth, if I...

    Darwin Award candidate

    That was funny, thanks guys! The next time I see a gun thread where someone exclaims, "I wish somebody could tell just what they mean by reasonable gun control", I'll have a link to post.

    why is it brighter?

    Because when you hold the light, it points away from you. When somebody else holds it, they probably can't resist pointing it at you.

    Light Humour - You Know You Are A Flashaholic When ...

    Ah, yes. My wife always picks up an ROP or Mag85 when she needs to look under a cupboard or something. Usually I just wince and let her, because it would be much too embarrassing to yell "no, don't take that one, take this... uh, not this one either... just wait a bit and I'll go get you another...

    To the Over 30 crowd

    So true, so true... :crackup: We had a TV when I was a kid (3-4 channels, I think), but only a couple of my friends had VCRs. I think one of them was even a Beta, not VHS. And we used to play cowboys and indians and shoot actual arrows at each other, not the suction cup kind of arrows. And the...

    A puzzling question

    What Empath said: 18-6-5-0. I'm not a native English speaker, but that's how I'd say it in Finnish, too.

    Things I've learned the hard way . . .(Part 2)

    Yes, and I've been lucky enough to see one after a mud bath. :eek: Underneath all that fur is a much smaller dog than you'd think. But that reminded me of another lesson: if you are getting a dog, get one that is small enough for you to carry. I recently saw a neighbor struggling up the stairs...

    It's 1972. Where do you put your savings?

    Yeah, I've heard that these new-fangled computers are gonna be a big hit so use your savings to buy as many of them as you can.

    Just had my first baby!!!!

    Congrats! My son is ca. 20 months old now so I still remember how it felt. I also packed a lot of camping gear to the hospital, but only needed the food & snacks. When my son was born, the midwife handed me scissors and asked if I'd like to cut the umbilical. I put my hand on my Calypso Jr. and...

    So what are your other hobbies ?

    Re: Other expensive hobbies Guitars and amps. They are kinda like lights in that you'll want one of every type (humbucking, single coil, high output, traditional etc.), but much more expensive. I don't have much time to play anymore, so I've sold most of mine. Just kept the two nicest ones I...

    Am I missing something? (GITD question)

    Well, there's GITD and then there's better GITD... I didn't really know any better until I got some of andygold's keyfobs. He makes them with the best Glowinc glow powder and they really glow! After a fresh charge, they are bright enough to read by in the dark and they glow for hours (the...

    Mag fullsize light survey - switch

    Last autumn I bought a 2D Mag just for an ROP mod. The switch failed almost immediately, but I think it was at least partially my own fault. I did a resistance mod to it and I did it sloppily, causing a semi-short inside the switch. Soon it got stuck in the off-position and wouldn't budge. I...

    Circle of life - Update

    Congratulations! Just think, in only a year or so, you'll be comparing the tint and consistency of the little one's output with other CPF dads.
