Mercury Though I admit to lacking the other bits and pieces shown.

No mercy on the newbie? Ouch, guys. My cat liked laser pointers.

Why pink? oooh...just caught my cosplay title...LOL. Thor? I get the gods confused. I thought that helmet thingy was more Mercury/Hermes and I could get a caduceus or two to wave about, maybe some matching winged talaria, but I suppose they'd get caught in extension cords and whatnot...then again, that helmet thing sorta of eliminates all but iems, and I'm not really an iem sort of gal. I'll have to check out the Thor bit. The gods seem to have the better fashion wear. What do the goddesses get? Hunting accessories, some sea foam, maybe some corn. Not nearly as interesting and winged taleria.

Happy Birthday! Enjoy!

I don't really know. My impression is that Duncan is just a guy hanging out in England with other priorities, and the new delay has less to do with Larry this time and more to do with that. I doubt that there's any conspiracy, and I also don't think Duncan had any ill-will. It's just maddening. I did post that I hoped to have it for the meet on the 27th. Whether Larry even reads the Diablo thread anymore is anyone's guess, and Duncan didn't respond to my question in the same post asking if I was right in assuming the Diablos would now be shipping next week as opposed to this week. Also, I didn't get into the group buy until about a year ago, so no matter how much I would like mine now and for the meet, there are certainly others who should receive their amps first...but then again, if the Diablos are truly ready, boxed up and waiting for addresses, if Larry gets the list on Saturday, the 50 (supposed) amps sold could realistically, and with minimal effort, go out on Monday or Tuesday at the latest. If the US buyers (thinking shipping time) don't have them within two weeks, it will confirm something gone way wrong again, and I will push for a refund. Mine also does a butterfly No blinding, but I do foresee juvenile moments of laser ants aimed at people's parts for points.

Done. Since Nate now has a more important engagement, we'll need to write impressions through. Which reminds me, did you ever see agile_one's impressions from the Sarasota meet last whenever, the first meet New Guy came to? Brillant!

Yep, and this one seems soooo unnecessary. It's just mean to post photos, say that you have yours, and then say everyone else must wait another week or more until you have time to tidy up a list of changes. If I were in his shoes, I would have pulled an all-nighter just to get that list out last week if that's what needed to be done. Bah. Easily and highly.

I want to win all the internets! No, not really. I did win a laser pointed that was shaped like a Dolphin at the Teacher Appreciation Day luncheon last year. It made noises like a dolphin when you opened its mouth and you could turn a wheel to get shapes like a star, an ant, and an octopus. Very cool.

Thanks. It looks amazing, but it also looks like I might have to wait some more. Duncan posted today that he needed to put together an updated list of buyers' info (I imagine address changes over the years) and would send it to Larry on Saturday, which means, to my mind, that amps won't be shipping 'til at least next week, if then. If he knew two weeks ago, or last week for sure, that the amps would be ready, why the heck didn't he have that list done and sent already? Just one more stupid delay. I hoped to have it in time for the FL meet on the 27th, and even hoped to have a few hours on it by then. Silly me.

Even though I decided to wait on a source upgrade, I at least get to hear this one next week

You missed the white matching suits. I think there were clouds and a piano, too.

Thanks, Thrice

Yes. Once being dead's a done deal, a good taxidermist doesn't make it look like the poor critter is still being killed. I used to go to this restaurant in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Every inch of this place was filled with bears, fish, bobcats, deer, two-headed calves, etc. I'm not a big fan of looking at dead animals while I eat (I'm a vegan), but I had to admire the workmanship.

We can pretend it is.

Yes, thanks!

Exactly. A lot of tween girls will be lovin' them.

A lot of tween girls will be lovin' them. They're not a real group, but they are someone's cash cow.

Wow. It's birthday week on head-case. Enjoy your day!

Look! It's Iron Dreamer's birthday. Don't worry. Just because you're so young, doesn't mean you can't have fun. Enjoy!

I forgot about this thread. I thank you all for your wishes. For a bunch of crackpots, you're really pretty okay in my book...though I wonder what that says about me. Anyway, thanks again, and thanks for making me feel at home here (again, wondering what that really means )

If you don't go for it, I will. LMK.

:'(

Waii! Would you look at that thing. If it's not dead, it should be.

That kitten looks like it had a bad visit to the taxidermist.

Those keys belong to Duncan, not Larry. Maybe Larry drives a Porche. \
