"Robbers in Holland at one time made use of a piece of iron in the shape of a pear, which they forced into the mouth of their victim. On turning a key, a number of springs thrust forth points of iron in all directions, so that the instrument of torture could never be taken out except by means of the key."
Oh, lovely.
Well, Darkie, how may I ingratiate myself to you?

I think I'll make sure to stay on topic from now on...

I just like to study history....
Is that why you own a coloring book of torture devices?
Caylin is a nice person! She is really cool and would never harm a fly! (Of course I have to say that as she lives within driving distance and could come over and inflict extreme pain on me)

PS. Seriously, Caylin is really cool to meet in person and will be a very good Mod.
Great, we've got a Mod who swears. And dabbles in obscure torture devices. Isn't this supposed to be a kid-friendly place?

On that note... hey, Darkie, that's a real nice parts modification. <grovel, grovel>

No, no, it's at least rated PG-13. No users under 13, remember?
Welcome to the elite and exclusive club of Moderators, Caylin. As Dean of that Most August College, I greet you as our newest member. I trust we can expect greater things from you than from Josh, whom we most unfortunately had to expel from our limited number. He wasn't really living up to the expectations of the "Brute" Squad.

It was me. Promise I was not pointing any fingers.... HA HA... Sadly my huge metal punch slipped and munched my right hand. It has been a long time since I had an accident so I hope I am good for a few more years... Making the armour is not supposed to be the dangerous part.
Now you two are "The Man." Well, Caylin is "The Woman." You two are the establishment now, man. You've gone all corporate on us, sellouts! Beware the Manchurian Moderators. Next you'll be showing up to cons with Minion t-shirts on, uh, wait...
Congrats you two, it's good to see people I know become more prominent in our hobby's community. Now, will I be able to talk directly to you come October up there? Or will I need to take a number only to be turned away by your entourages? Don't forget the little guy!

Ouch...sorry to hear about that, man. Hope your hand heals.
