I doubt anyone would let me within three miles of their house if they knew I was coming ;)

Perhaps I should go and call on M'Prok some day...

Yeah, right! :rolleyes: As if any of you would be brave enough to show up at my house (aside from Ace Pace, who lives a few blocks away anyways... :p)! Gunfire ( :snipe: ), suicide bombings... you wouldn't be able to fall asleep! (Yes, you can hear the gunfire from my room...)

All that aside, I'd love to see anyone I know semi-well, especially Setekh, over here. :)

Friends are friends no matter where they are, if anyone's stuck they can come over to my place :yes:

Sandwich if you want to come over here yourself you'll have to leave the rifle at home (they're kinda edgy about trained gun toters over here ;) )

...and yeah I'd have Setekh 'round at my house any day of the week, the rest of the staff too :nod: (no swearing in front of my mum Griff! :D )

I think that would be a hella kewl thing to meet some of you in person :nod: and if you came to my house, you could sleep in my room because I sleep at my computer ;) (or rather don't sleep).

Hmm, well, since I really have never thought of this before...

I suppose that if they gave a decent heads-up alert (I'm talking about a month or so), and they had a perfectly legitimate reason other than just stopping by to visit, then maybe...

Of course, I have precious little space at home, so they may be confined to the dog house or garage :D

Actually, I don't sleep with a gun under my pillow.  I keep it in my nightstand drawer, which is right under the rifle on the shelf just next to my bed...:p I'm joking!!  Well, sorta... ;)

Not a Merkava - they usually keep those tanks for the real hot areas. I've seen plenty other tanks roll past on trailers, though - Israeli-modified Chieftains, IIRC. Tanks aren't allowed to drive on roads, as they tear up the asphalt. Only the M113 APC can, because it weighs a lot less than a tank, and it has special rubber pads on its treads for driving on roads.

Hehe...never had anyone from online before stay around.

But i got a nice 8 bedroom house for next year all lined up. :D

In terms of friendship..

Im not a hard person to get on with, but previously before i came to Uni i was with the "wrong people", so not surprisingly i wound up being closer to many people online that i could possibly be IRL.

Its not a problem for me now but I still find it far easier to "just get on" with people online.

Would I let any of you guys stay at my house? :nod: Absolutely! Unless you arrived with a machine gun over your shoulder...but then maybe I'd just move my pocket knife from across the room to under my pillow :D
But what would my parents do to me if I tried something like that?
:snipe::snipe::snipe:

Oh well, that's life! I could hook you up with a good Holiday Inn though...:D
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".

Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.
