YES!!! Why???

uh... what???

eh a: i don't care.  if they're good naked pix, maybe they'll let me have a copy.  b: i'm weird.  i like the dentist too.  c: sometimes ya just gotta suck it up and take one for the team.  i totally don't mind getting electroskanned.  if it's hot enough someone likes it, power to em. i just look at it as a "are you done yet so i can get on the plane?" type thing. destination more important than airport hassle.

Yes, I agree.. I'd rather be scanned than blowed up. I just don't necessarily LOOK FORWARD to it.  :D

Ars Technica is currently running the story of how Adam Savage (Mythbusters) accidentally got past the  body scanner with two (2) foot long razor blades! :o

I will edit with the link.

Okay, I flipped the breaker, pulled the fuses, and blew up the transformer.

Why are my lights still on?

I came home from work today to that, among my packages from UPS, were the rest of things I needed to finish my costume.  ;D

On another note, FX Warehouse - thank you ever so much for packaging everything underneath little bits of shredded newspaper.   :P

Yes.  I think I picked it all up before my cat ate any.

OK, so I'm a newt.  Never did the costume thing...old lady, stuffy upbringing, what can I say?  Am not sure that I fit any of the female characters, but am thinking of Susan...need to re-research her...remind my newt brain which was the last book she showed up in before
(click to show/hide)
?  It had some good descriptions of her
(click to show/hide)
.  As I used to do hunting training and tests (but not actual hunting) with my Golden Retrievers, I think I have most of the stuff I'd need to do the guerrilla warfare dress thing...maybe nextime will spring for a real costume if it goes over well...or at least if it is not too embarassing...tho I'm a bit unsure about the costume thing, I'm also old enough that I've been in embarassing situations so often I've started to become immune to them  ;)

Thanks!
