This thread has made my day. Well done, Waverly.
I know that I just ordered their catalog. I’ve loved going through these dumbass things since Desert Storm. The amount of worthless shit you can buy through them is just amazing!
To be honest, I get so many now, I may be confused about which catalogs make the most frequent use of buxom weapon models, and which are the purists that let the weapons sell themselves. You can always do a google image search for ”chicks with guns.”
I did find that they have a useful forum online forum. If you ever get a fixin’ for some gun glurge, head over there. I just learned that “911 sends crime stoppers at 60 MPH; 1911 sends crime stoppers at 860 FPS!” and that the Supreme Court has ruled that you are at the mercy of criminals unless you own a gun.
Do they sell keyboards in the CTD catalog? Please have one drop shipped to me.
Little do my co-workers know. That grin on my face today isn’t from simple good will, but the direct result of imagining Waverly’s postman, timidly peeking around the corner, trying to discern if he is in immediate danger of becoming a crossbow target.
I’m linking this to as many peple as I can think of.
I’m dying!
I ordered a left handed Fobus Paddle holster for a friend of mine, and since then I’ve started getting catalogs from Blue Press, CTD (of course) and a handful of other gun/tactical companies.
I keep waiting for my Paladin Press catalog, but no luck so far.
At least you didn’t drop ship, and so are your own victim. I am awestruck at volume of crap I’m getting. The latest was what appeared to be a packet of postcards with people modeling weapons on the front. What’s that all about? “Dear mom, spring is finally here. I’m doing great. Check out the collapsible stock on this Uzi. Sweet, huh?”
I’ve ordered stuff from Victoria’s Secret in the past. Do I get armfull’s of their catalogs? No. God does not love me and does not want me to be happy.
And now there is an environmental impact. I can’t recycle this stuff, for fear of freaking out the recycling dude. If I try to bag it up first, he won’t take it at all. I can put it in the regular garbage as long as it isn’t loose and visible. NY garbage men are capable of just about anything. I unknowingly offended them once and they upended one of my cans, and kicked an old soccer ball that was inside down the street. I don’t like to think about what they’d do if they thought I was stalking them from the bushes.
Look at your location. I think that would be obvious.
Wait, so Lynn is the bikini-clad babe wielding the Martian compound bow? Sign me up!
You didn’t get the autographed calendar when you paid your subsciption?
I have never ordered from Victoria’s Secret, nor from any delectable lingerie catalog, and yet I have been receiving their catalogs for years now. I always give them to my husband, who enjoys them. Maybe he enjoys them a little too much.
I am NOT. I use either swords or axes, preferably axes. I prefer melee to long distance fighting. I want to see the terror in their eyes.
I’m guessing take-no-prisoners, all-out war.
I myself have bought some historically accurate swords. I’m a history buff and CANNOT STAND all of those piece of shit fantasy weapons out there. Some firends of mine bought a Lord of the Rings “Sword of Arwen” that made me want to puke. It was stamped out of sheet metal, Unpolished, over a centimeter thick at the back of the blade and totally un-cool looking to boot. Oh, the decorative inlays? Decals. My plain, functional swiss baselard (A short sword) is waaaaay cooler that that. It’s properly made (hand hammered) and the design *has actually been used to kill people. * Discounting accidents involving virgins in their parents basements, how many people have been killed by Klingon weapons?
Bwahahaha
I have a buster sword. I use it for display purposes. If any dopers would like to masturbate while touching it, we can probably work something out. It won’t be cheap, though, and you are absolutely going to have to clean up after yourself.
Sorry, but you’re going to have to explain how it can be simultaneously stamped out of sheet metal and over a centimeter thick.
Ah, so this is you, then. Gotcha.
And the calender I got was all Slug artwork :(.
Nope. I believe in armor. METAL armor, full coverage, not a chain mail bikini. THIS is more my style, except for the repeating wrist crossbows. And IRL I don’t have a beard, but most of my dwarven characters are bearded, whichever sex they are.
Dwarves rule and elves drool.
The comic that I linked to in my previous post contains some pretty graphic violence and gore, so be warned.
I think I love you, Lynn.
For some reason, back in my EQ playing days, people kept handing my low level warrior axes. Not looted but random people running by and handing them to her. I took it as a sign. She never went axeless again.
