The computer has been taken away from me this evening.

Been spending too much time online so wildernessguru took the computer away.

But I'm allowed one post! (Because it's about him. Partially.) What did he do today? Buy Noam Chomsky books.

Conversation this evening: "I should buy some assault rifles in case there's another ban. If there is I can sell them for thousands." I started cracking up. "We can put them under the bed. What's so funny?"

Then he explained that under the ban it was legal to sell assault rifles. You just couldn't own them. "If I bought them back in the 80s I'd have fifty thousand dollars by now."

He suggested we buy the civilian version of the P-90. "It's expensive, but it would be cool!"

So. My boyfriend reads Noam Chomsky and is going to stockpile assault rifles under the bed. What does your boyfriend do?

Ya know, he should meet Linda's boyfriend. Duane is a tank commander or something like that in the Army National Guard, has a fascination with the way fires work and is a semester away from a chemical engineer degree. Methinks they'll have stuff to talk about.

*snerk* Two fire-bugs/military nuts? They'd get along great. Who's Linda?

Linda is my best friend of 8 years, who is on LJ as caspitas. Self described bone dork, and my personal sanity provider.

I was going to make a snarky comment about my quasi-ex, but I decided to not be a completely horrible person.

If I had a boyfriend, I imagine he'd be a bisexual with a habit of cross-dressing with an utterly manly fascination with cars and motors and taking household appliances apart. :)

We really out to get your future bisexual, cross-dressing mechanic and WG together. *g*

If they decide to build a super-weapon and stage a world coup, I'm so not taking the blame :D

If they do it in dresses I'm so pulling up a chair to watch.

my boyfriend...he, um...works on computers? he was part of the fix-it computer team on a military base this summer. he reads and listens (mostly listens to books) to almost everything under the sun, and retains all of it. but can't remember the names of my roommates...his sister has a rifle...
he's really not hardcore at all. well, hardcore geek. he knows every sci-fi show known to man. and movie...and..yeah.

Well, it was kind of geeky that WG, as an SG-1 fan, wanted a P-90. I was less interested when I learned they don't look like the ones on the show. Apparently those short are automatically classified as concealed weapons, so you have to be military to carry them.

Too bad.

That makes more sense than Chomsky would probably like.

Frighteningly true. Chomsky makes me want to build a cabin in the woods and line the fences with barbed wire.
