Jack Aubrey

I remember the first time I heard that epic solo on "When The Heart Rules The Mind". It gave me chills and made me want to take up the guitar.

Agreed on all counts and a big "me too!" regarding having those albums in heavy rotation back then!

Oh God, mando-fun. Ugh. Not talking about the album, it's a military thing: "There will be a morale party this upcoming Saturday from 1400- 1800. All personnel not actually on duty are expected to attend." That kind of thing.

I have relatives who live in Summerville, very near the Colonial Dorchester State Historic Site. That's about 5 miles away from me.

211 miles. Born in Greensboro, NC, live in Summervlle, SC.

Earl, I'm thinking your member title should be "The college of musical knowledge"! :D

SCORPS, BABY! BLACKOUT IS AN EPIC ALBUM!

Jack I didn't see you chime in with your opinion on Last Jedi. What was your grade? That The Biography Of Jar Jar Binks would have been a better concept. tough crowd. I loved Last Jedi but am finding Rogue One to be more tedious every time I watch it, which I think has been 4 viewings so far. Opinions are like a-holes I guess :) :D It'd be a boring old world if we all liked the same stuff.

I bit the bullet and subscribed to Star Wars: The Old Republic. I'm having a ball. If anyone else plays hit me up, my screen name is Cassius Nocte. Level 24 Jedi Knight.

The greatest twist ending in the history of Hollywood.

Rogue One (again).

I forgot about this thread... Here's a cross-post to my official release thread for this album. Reception has been nearly all positive and while commercially it was a failure, we've managed to get a few new fans and encouragement to continue on with a second album along similar lines. http://www.therushfo...missing-pieces/ Big congratulations, man!

:D well, just becaue my EDC is mostly survival-related doesn't mean I expect everyone else to do the same. In fact, you carry survival gear and don't even realize it. Take your phone. If you're ever stranded and your phone goes dead you'd probably think it would be useless. The screen is highly reflective and could be used to signal a pasing plane, boat, or vehicle. Carefully smash it with a rock and remove the battery and then pierce the battery with a knife. In about five seconds it will combust and burn hot enough and long enough to gate a fire going. Also, remove the circuit board and shape and sharpen it on a rock and you've got a spear or arrowhead. Take your wallet and cut the biggest diamond-shaped pisece you can from the outer part. Use the wire from your ear pods and you can rig a sling (the rock-throwing kind) for hunting small game. There are also lots of survival manuals apps that are completely free. Download one or two and read a little every now and then when you're bored. He can’t do a lot of that as he already listed that he doesn’t EDC a knife Then he should start. Every man worth his salt should EDC at least a small knife. Go order one of those Christy knives I talked about on page 2.

I'd like to make one of the things I just told Disk everyone's "homework". Like I said, there are a lot of free survival manual apps available for download. Everybody go and get one on your phone or tablet and read it every now and then when you're bored. The best free one is the US Army survival manual, so get that one.

Hey, I have one of those! :cheers: My BFF David, was a Razorback fan, used to live in Little Rock Ark. oh, and I also always carry a 2.5 inch [when closed] Browning pocket knife. [Gibbs' rule No. 9, always carry a knife] Navy Seal rule #1 Two is one and one is none. Therefore, carry two knives. I'm NOT a Navy Seal. sorry.... You don't have to be a Seal to follow that rule. You big nut! :D

Also, thanks for the info on 4Seven flashlights, I'd never even heard of them but will be looking into them. I EDC a Klarus, what I like about it is that it features two seperate switches, on for steady-on and one for strobe. I also EDC a smaller 1 AA Fenix so I don't have to worry about burning up the 123 batteries my Klarus uses as I have that one strictly for tactical/defesive use so the Fenix is for everyday tasks and is also bright enough to sub as a tac light should anything happen to the Klarus.

I bet you involuntarily orgasm when you go to that site! I simply happen to be a knife collector who appreciates a quality blade. I do not sexually fetishize them and personally find such an idea revolting. Edited to add: Please accept my sincere apologies if you were joking, I've been accused of sexually fetishizing weapons too many times on this board before and knee-jerked, it just bugs the crap out of me when folks do that. I WAS joking, because I own 4 handguns, two rifles and get a lot of that same kind of teasing myself. of course there ARE people who are weird like that, but I hope to NEVER MEET THEM! I can appreciate the collecting of almost anything, for asthetics and such. Brother, I feel like a complete and utter heel. Once again, I humbly apologize. Tell you what, anyone ever gives you crap about weapons ever again, shoot me a message and we'll school 'em together! I've got your 6! No pun intended? I work on a federal installation where they don't legally allow employees or visitors to carry knives or guns but I carry a Spyderco Chaparral (it's thin and only has a 2 13/16 inch blade) anyway. I also have a small 4Sevens light that has a couple of lumen options up to 1020. In the car, I have 2 flashlights, also from 4Sevens, 1 is small and if I need to find something under a seat or look under the hood or in the trunk, and the other is a 2000 lumen monster for defensive purposes. For CC purposes, I have a Taurus Millennium G2 in .40 S&W. I'd like to sell that and get a Smith&Wesson M&P Shield in .45 ACP, but it's such a pita to legally sell a gun these days. Have you seen where some folks have had trouble with Milleniums going when they're shaken or jarred? There was a big hue and a cry about it some three or four years ago. P.S. No, no pun intended, I always say that.

Right? :D

Cats aren't bad with barbecue sauce.

And Duel Of The Fates.

Here's the vid for their cover of The Imperial March, which is also pretty funny. :D

Have you ever heard of Galactic Empire? They're a bunch of prog musicians who decided to do covers of music from Star Wars and they flat ROCK! Their drummer (Boba Fett) is tight! Drop what you're doing and go watch this! Not only is there cool music, it's also pretty funny!
