ultimateone Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 man that is incredible. I got a PS3? Is that cool? It's as cool as you think it is. That's the point, your most prized possession. Of course, you taking a pic of said PS3 with your hot bikini clad girl makes it infinitely cooler, btw. /PS3 over 360 everyday of the week.

areaseven Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 (edited) If I had to choose just one, it's my Yamato 1/60 YF-19. I should take some new pics, though, as I now have the Fold Booster and FAST Pack.

Agent ONE Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 uh... You just had to post this tonight. My favorite thing is my Lotus, and now that I have said it... I am selling it. I know, horrible. I am moving from SF to Chicago, and its just not a Chicago car. The business is booming, and I am needed so I gotta go. Plan on trading in the Lotus for some SUV for the time being... In a few years a, Lamborghini Gallardo. Its AWD and heavy enough to handle the Chicago winters.

David Hingtgen Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Post pics some day---I'd love to see a Lambo crusted in salt. It's a weird fantasy I've had for years--own a Lambo, get it covered in bugs and dust from a road trip, then drive it to a Wal-Mart and take pics of it next to some rusty old pickup. (because I swear if I ever owned one, I would drive it as often as possible, and everywhere---as opposed to the people who own one, drive it 400 miles a year, and have it spend more time getting detailed than actually out on the road) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a philosophy before owning a Lotus: There is no point in owning a car you can't drive every day. I will follow the same line of logic with the Lambo, keep in mind this is all assuming things go great with my company. Lambo unlike Ferrari has the benefit of being owned by a company that shares parts... Its really not that expensive to maintain. My current dealership is a Lambo-Lotus dealer. I have been paying attention to the services they have. Not that different than most other high end cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent ONE Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 NOOOOOOOOOO!!! Still, it would be a shame to let go of the Elise. What SUV do you plan to get? Eh, there is no point in getting some fancy SUV. I pay extra for performance, but not luxury or status. When it comes to SUVs... Toyota 4 runners are great, Chevy Tahoes, whatever. Any car other than a sports car, to me, is like a dishwasher. I say to myself: "does it wash dishes?" "Yes, sweet".... "Will it get me places with 4wD?" "Yes, sweet" I suppose if I decide to stay in Chicago for a while and I really don't like the idea of having a low to the ground car, I may change my mind, but as of now, I plan on just focusing on work so I can pay for that Lambo... We gotta sell a LOT of medical devices before I can order one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaorin Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I've admitted before that I'm not fully versed on all of Macross, so I'll ask. Who's the chick and what is the significance of that particular figure? -FROM WIKIPEDIA- Shaorin (守護月天 小璘, Shugogetten Shaorin?) A moon spirit who wears traditional styled costumes, she has little understanding of the human world after spending a few thousand years in the confines of the shitenrin. Throughout the anime her purpose is to protect Tasuke and she does so by summoning different assistants called Hoshigami (星神, literally "star gods") through the ring. She initially causes trouble for Tasuke by destroying harmless household objects in her efforts to protect him. She is banned from going to the school after destroying some of it. Because of this, Shaorin sends Rishuu to protect Tasuke at school. In the manga her misguided efforts to protect him the first day cause Tasuke to order her to go away, saying that he can protect himself. A bit later she apologizes and asks his permission to protect him from loneliness. On that basis the manga continues. She develops feelings for Tasuke and gets jealous when Kaori shows up in anime episode 12 and in the last 2 episodes, she finally realizes what she feels for Tasuke. In the manga, as a spirit, she profoundly does not understand these feelings. Her guardian, the hoshigami Nankyuko-Jusei, counsels her that these are feelings that she should not learn. He means that it will make eternity harder for her when she must part from Tasuke. Her given name might be Shao, with "-rin" being an affectionate suffix. Vol 5 of the manga shows that people casually familiar with her think that she's an ordinary person and her family name (last name) is "Shugogetten". (for more info, follow the link in my Sig...)

In fact, my Maross Gold Book is also my prized possesion, escpecially since I have it autographed by Kawamori, Mikimoto, and Mari Iijima! As much as love the Gunbuster toy, my prized toy is actually the SOC Black Salena from Nadesico: the prince of darkness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wife is a vet tech, has been for over a decade, and consistently hears stories about animals recovered by tattoos.
