You should see his rack now....it has a 30something inch monitor next to it.  Many a scheme has been dreamed up for the theft of that monitor...I'm sure most such schemes include copious amounts of weapon theft as well...

Yes, the picture is a little out of date now. That 21" CRT + 20" LCD in the photo has been replaced by one ginormous 30" widescreen, as Tristam has mentioned. The rack arrangement has changed slightly since then as well, but not much visually.

Before getting the rack, my computer area started looking like this:

I guess that's better than pistols at ten paces, but less spectacular. :)

How about a beauty contest style competition?  Instead of the question/answer portion y'all could just go at it with various weapons...in swimsuits.  It'd be rough, but I'd volunteer to judge.  ;)

Oh, and welcome to T.Rettie!  We used to live together.  (Or at least in the same apartment complex.)  :)

Good Day

My name is Jeff Barnes aka Jedi Medic,  Just recently joined your forum and read a few posts but did not see a set welcome thread.  So I hope I have not breached protocol by posting here. I am 52 yrs old married with children x 4,  I live in Northwest Alabama and my current occupation is Paramedic.  My interests are many a varied but include Sci-fi, the paranormal, Medievil history, Knights and Chivalry.  Currently my armory consists of exactly 1 sword, a gift from a friend. It is a replica of a Viking age sword.  I am also a member of Chivalry Now and am walking the Path to Knighthood there.

Hello and welcome! Yes, we don't have a formal welcome thread currently. So far we've just been assuming new members will dive in somewhere. :)  Maybe we should start one.

I assume the message board didn't give you any trouble signing up. We had some trouble with spammers and I had to muck with the new-member settings a bit.

I'm still looking over the Chivalry-Now site a bit. I'm surprised I never saw it in my previous googling. My google-fu must have been weak at the time. :)
