What do you look like?

[exatreide]

It wasn't that easy, I mean I filled out a piece of paperwork...the guy called in the background check.

and about 15 minutes later I walked with A Ar-15 Assault rifle with front and rear iron site, 90 round drum magazine, two 30 round mags, and 500 rounds.

I mean, were not savages.

Okay, I've finally got the picture I've wanted to put up for a while.  It was taken by a friend of mine, a semi-professional photographer.

Lots of negative space, but it seems to have more of a purpose in the photo than I do, so I'm not cropping it out.

And yes, I'm wearing a Decepticons T-Shirt.  The photographer put it in her portfolio with the name "Prime", despite it being the wrong allegiance.

I guess I forget how 'liberal' the USA's gun laws are.

It isn't that liberal if it is the AR15. We can even buy that one in Norway, costs like 1500

about 800, about a hundred dollar military discount. 500 rounds of ammo, two thirty round magazines, iron sights, one 90 round drum magazine, and cleaning kit for a total just over a grand.

Well in the great state of Indiana, you can have the licence to carry a handgun at 18, but can't legally buy one or possess one till your 21. Sort of a marijauna stamp sort of law, but more of a long rifle guy anyway.

Just need to get me a pre ban AK and I'll be set for awhile.

I mean you can go hunting with an AR-15 I'm sure, but I'm just going to use it to practice marksmanship for the Army, as that the m4, and the m16a2 are simmiler. Since I would like to make E-5 Buck Sarg in the next couple years.

Nice hair style Vanguard :)

[Vanguard3000]

Thanks.  It's glue, that's in my hair.  Gel won't do that for me, as I have very thick hair.

Special hair glue; not wood glue or anything.  ;)

[SandChigger]

I use special hair glue, too!

Every time some of it falls out, I glue it back on! ;D

the ultimate cure for baldness  ;D

[gunner154]

We could all use some blu-tack, I'm sure.

[Kirby Gotenks absorbed]

Vangaurd, you could have done more with the smile...

[Dante]

It's sneerish. I like it.

Could be interpreted as either disapproving or vaguely disgusted by us sick freaks.

Or just neutral. I might be reading too much into it.

I do feel awkward looking at the picture though. Like Vanguard's watching me too and he doesn't approve.

Edit: He can't really be called Vanguard the Faceless now though.

[Mihail]

Yeah, I think it's fine. Combined with the smart clothes and that flashy watch, it makes me feel like he knows something we don't(Although the Transformers shirt does geek him up a bit ;D )

[Vanguard3000]

KGA, people rarely smile in photoshoots.  Not on camera, anyway.  I have fun doing it, though.  besides, I look far more bad-ass this way.

Dante, I am disgusted by you sick freaks, I am watching you, and I don't approve.

And until I muster up the... "not-being-too-lazy" to get my avatar added again, the title shall remain.

[chatfsh]

(Although the Transformers shirt does geek him up a bit ;D )

Oh, pish posh, Clemenza!  The Transformer t-shirt actually works well here. (Super movie anyway.) 

The title of Vanguard

I always smile in photos, show those teeth and smile! >:(

[Dunenewt]

Not everyone goes for the cheesy grin look.

[Edric O]

here's me with my new toy.

Do you mean the gun, or the bionic right eye? :D

about 800, about a hundred dollar military discount. 500 rounds of ammo, two thirty round magazines, iron sights, one 90 round drum magazine, and cleaning kit for a total just over a grand.

So in the United States they sell those things... for self-defence? It looks more like something you'd need for self-defence in Somalia.

And Vanguard, I'm sorry, but you don't look geeky enough for this forum. I'm going to have to ban you now. :P

[Dunenewt]

Why doesn't he get any boy band comments? :(

[Dante]

Because he looks like he might take offence. And seek us out. And hurt us. No, scratch that. Hire goons to hurt us while he stands by and looks bored.

I'm scared.

[Dunenewt]

He does look like he could be a Bond villain when he gets older.

[exatreide]

Well Edric, I joined the socialist party last week if that makes you feel any better.

[gryphon]

Well Edric, I joined the socialist party last week if that makes you feel any better.

That indeed does explain why you need that much for selfdefence....

[Edric O]

Well Edric, I joined the socialist party last week if that makes you feel any better.

That does make me feel better, comrade. ;) Which Socialist Party is it, by the way? There are quite a few of them in the US... I'm not sure what their disagreements are.

That indeed does explain why you need that much for selfdefence....

He needs it for the revolution!

Democratic Socialists of America, mostly because well I was raised in a Heavy democratic family with several of members of my family belonging to various unions. Pipe Fitters, International Brotherhood of electrical workers, ect. Maybe as I get older I'll swing more into full socialism, but for the moment that will do.
