This is how Judge Roy Bean would have sentenced OBL: ‘Osama Bin Laden,in a few short weeks it will be spring. The snows of winter will flow away, the ice will vanish, the air will become soft and balmy. In short, Osama Bin Laden, the annual miracle of the years will awaken and come to pass. But you ...

Lady Tevar: Paul still has the original scabbard design which he and I hashed out over 20 years ago. He will be completing it as soon as is convenient. Paul and I spent more than an hour on the phone yesterday afternoon catching up on the past 20 years. I am supremely grateful to this Thread, as wit...

Dave: I think the idea of recessing the back of the blade so that the brass spine fits more closely is absoluely brilliant. I believe that on the original, the brass spine was simply folded over the back of the blade and brazed into place. I looked that the pic showing how the tang of the blade is f...

Lady Tevar:

I am pleased to report that through the replies I received to my original post, and those on the SCA portion of LiveJournal.com, I have reestablished contact with Mr. Marcute after more than 20 years.
Truly, the gods of fate have smiled upon me.....

Davey:

Do you have the capability of forging your designs? I am particularly interested in your 'Giant Stampede' knife. Please contact me via PM so that we might discuss the details.

Good Lady:

I have owed no allegiance to any kingdom since 1988, when I was living in in Colorado Springs in the Kingdom of the Outlands.

Mike Garrity

Good Sir:

I have done as you suggested and posted my query on LiveJorunal. I have high hopes that I will at least find out what happened to Mr. Marcute.

My humble thanks for your kind suggestion:

Mike Garrity

Greetings all: Is there any way I can use to find former members of the SCA? There is this one guy, Paul Marcute, who was involved in the SCA in the Salem, Massachusetts area in the early 1990s. I commissioned a scabbard from him for my greatsword, I paid for it and then he seemingly dropped off the...

Metahive:

I wore my country's uniform for 20 years. If you did the same for your country, you wouldn't have responded the way you did. Additionally, I have never used obscenity in any of my posts, on any board (including this one) EVER.

Seraph:

Now that you have given a specific figure for the energy of a photon of light, how could it be used to determine the energy that would be released if a beam of light were to be stopped instantaneously?

One of these options is the worst possible thing you could do under the UCMJ. Guess which one Manning did?[/quote] I'm not familiar with the UCMJ, so I have a question - is 251,287 multi-page 'CONFIDENTIAL' cables generally worse or better than the 'mere' 7,000 pages of 'TOP SECRET' material leaked ...

I also like how the article mentioned "he's in solitary confinement" without mentioning that "if he were put into the general population he would be fucking dead within a week for being a 'traitor'". Lonestar: If Manning were lucky, he would publicly hang by the neck until his r...

Let us assume that it is possible to decerlate a photon to zero velocity instantaneously. How much energy would be released?

Hi: 1) Clone Zor 2) Link Zor and the Zor clone's minds together; this way each sees, hears and feels what the other is experiencing 3) kill the clone 4) bury the clone in the Pet Sematary, thus causing it to come back as an evil demon-possessed shell of its former self; note that the mind link is st...

Hi: 1) Give Zor to the Mythbusters as a living replacement for Buster. After each show, he's resurrected and healed of all damage, and has full memories of what happened; repeat as necessary. Did I mention that Zor's vocal cords were surgically removed so he couldnt scream? 2) Destroy Zor's immune s...

Since there were several instances of demons being run over and squished by tanks and other AFVs, why not call them 'crunchies' or 'squishies'? I can just imagine some Abrams driver singing to himself "...Romper Bomper, Stomper Boo <CRUNCH>

I rather favor 'Jellies', as that is what's left of one of them after close proximity to a high-order explosion......'Jelly'....

After having re-read TSW and TSW:P several times, there does seem to be some comedic potential contained therein, to wit: "A demon walked up to me and said that it hadn't had a bite in two weeks, so I bit him" "A demon walked up to me and asked if it could borrow twenty dollars until ...

I have an idea as regards the text on the back cover, as follows: "I, Satan Mekratig, commander of the Legions of the Damned (the text of the message from Chapter 1)... followed by: Humanity said "SCREW YOU!!" Simple, direct and to the point (in a kind of 'in your face' fashion) Your ...

In considering the size of the gates into the Eternal City, I am reminded of certain scenes in LOTR: Return of The King. The Black Gate is perhaps as tall as the gates into the Eternal City, but I don't know if it was as wide. Where it beats the heaven gate is in thickness, and material. The Black G...

Three carriers, plus a bunch of other vessels? Just how big/deep is that lake? Too bad the Iowas aren't in service, I'd love to see them join the party. When I read that chapter, I could have sworn that the background from Mythbusters was playing in my mind. I find that seriously cool..... :lol: Mik...

Greetings, all: If I was going to choose an anti-zombie weapon (for use in a Yonkers-type battle, etc), I'd go with a water-cooled machine gun. As long as the ammo and coolant hold out, you can keep firing without harm to the weapon. This was proved by John M. Browning in the early 20th century, whe...

Stuart: For even larger artillery throw-weights, there's the M65 cannon. The W19 shell it fired weighed some 600 lbs, and I'm sure it is possible to design an conventional HE shell for it. Next up, the Iowas could be reactivated and shells fired through portals to wherever is needed. The 1900-lb HC ...
