Rose and Navyseils( one on the right) with our auxillery back up Michael( they were both named Michael and it became the running joke that if our Michael failed to fulfill his Michael duties that we had a back up Michael to step in)

You think you know--what's to come, what you are. You haven't even begun.

I posted all of my good ones last thread! Okay, hang on, I have a dark one of Magda in front of the awesome fountain at the Marriott...

I also have a cool one of one of the skyscrapers all lit up gold, but I haven't shrunk it yet.

I'm going with confused on this one.

If frightened, I'd expect your mouth to be tighter.

If you were angry, I'd expect your mouth to be tighter & eyes/brows squintier (that's a word now).

I'll be watching for that next time. If we don't explode first.

Yeah, I was trying to figure out how a D*C photo thread got turned into a "discuss Gladiator" thread. Huh.

She never once put her gun down. But then again, none of us really did...

Even Rose was armed. And yes, she did in fact shoot me at least once (probably numerous times...but I couldn't prove it.

)

*sigh* Companions.

Can't forget Pac Man. They entertained those of us waiting in the Ron Glass panel line on Sunday.

He posted? Nothing wrong with that. By all accounts 76th threads get derailed before you can say libertus sumptus, so I think we're doing fine

Besides, where is it written that this is D*C only? Nowhere is that written. A lot of us were there, some of us were not. Don't want to be excluding people. That'd be rude.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I mean, it's not like I took every opportunity

Actually, by the time I really got used to the way my gun aimed, I was shooting at boxes and patches. I retired from the fray with painful welts etc pretty early on; I'm not sure how many shots landed.
Sure made me miss shooting bottles with grandpa.

Yeah I think Tristan should have to post warning about the level of danger involved in his Shindigs... it was common to hear " I'm unarmed...unarmed dammit...just trying to get a beer.."
And explaining the numerous bruises was fun

Also...that was me who shot you...remember...with your own gun ( left lying around carelessly) giggle

OK I'm out for the night all...I'll post more tomorrow:)

Right. What follows is a link to a small portion of the 168 pix I took at D*C '07, to wit, 5 pix of satisfied customers who bought CallMeSerenity's very cunning Jaynehats. (Photos taken with permission of the photographed). One of these was posted on the previous thread to this one.

Hey Cozen - thanks for that pic of me in my cunning hat - and the one of NavySeils smiling is worth a brownie!!

I love those pics - though, you couldn't find a more flattering photo of me Tristan??... men! (although I will add that your mother's jumbalayah was awesome!!) I do have to point out, too, that it's one of his highest compliments to mention that a person didn't put down her weapon all night! (I know - I came close to doing that outside - but I recovered... didn't I?)

Although you failed to mention that shot I got at you through the crack in the door frame - oh yes!!!! I am the best non-gun-totin'-back-home chick you'll ever meet!!

EDIT: Cozen - I half inched a whole heap of your photos!! They are terrific - I will be posting what I have when I have them uploaded!!!

I love the look on your face, Navy; not sure whether I would shoot you or hug you but fearing the worst *snicker*
And yes, I was dangerous

Navy joined the 76th? Dude, I still can't find where to sign up. Am I defective? Everyone says they have issues finding stuff here, which I never have, but other boards give me no end of headache. Is it my naturally chaotic mind?
And I'm still not sure if it's worth it to join the board. I'm so not a roleplayer.

Even though magda said it twice...you dont need to be a roleplayer. I just signed up on the forums to say hi and was awaiting approval. Seems I have it now.

EDIT: Nope, not approved yet, come on guys...we'll never win this war with staff that slow.

As I understood it, one can join the 76th in a purely supportive manner. Just there to be with your friends and help cheer them on if they go marching someplace.

As you can imagine, it is sometimes slow-going, especially considering we have received about 16 applications since D*C.
If you sent your application to the hotmail address, then I should be receiving a digest of those within a few days. Then you will be able to post on the boards.

The application is required before approval on the messageboard. Once you get that in, all will be well. I look forward to seeing you on the 76th board...finally!
And no worries about the messing around...I just did not want anyone to think we are slacking or ignoring.
