Some of you were closer than you know.
The key clue came yesterday. When I said it was a key component of the collection.
And oh, baby, it is a *key* component of the collection.
Pardon me for a moment.
[insert visual of the Armorer, as he looked, oh, 35 years ago, running down a pier, faster, faster, faster, and, when he reaches the end of the pier, leaps out over the ocean, gracefully jumping over the shark below.]
To further elaborate - a joke, from Scotland, as we have many Commonwealth readers.
Substitute Enfields, Mausers, mortars, handguns, bayonets, swords, rocket launchers, aiming circles, gunner's quadrants, inert ordnance as appropriate in that joke and you might think you'd found the Arsenal of Argghhh! and the Armorer.
Yet, clearly, that's not the case.
So, what's the key?

That's the Whatziss, and that's the key to having a basement like ours. housing the Arms Room. Happy Valentine's Day, sweetie!
I am now going to go into the arms room and lock the door. You people might throw things.
Oh - another hint? The category - it wasn't Gun Pr0n...
Oh, and the Jawas (That was inspired, Og, well done!) ? Those are the lights on the digital display when none of the stove-top burners are active.

One can only imagine how the sites that bemoan misandry and promote misogyny as an improvement will view that... but I digress.Free to good home: one husband
He comes complete with loads of extras: :
17 mountain bikes. He only needs one but he says he needs them?
3 petrol lawnmowers, again he needs them?
3 petrol strimmers. Well! Same story as above
37 pairs of jeans. I know, but he hasnt anything to wear?
52 pairs of trainers boots and shoes.All very necessary
8 watches but no other trinkets
22 jackets and countless tops and t-shirts
Full intact attitude with "I am the boss" tones. Right then!
Will only work in the summer period as he dosnt like the winter cold!
Wants all of the wages to himself as it's his right.
Has a claw big toe and always wears one sock in bed to protect it AHHHHHH!
I know you must all be thinking WAAAW! what a catch but don't all fight at once to collect him I would feel terrible if someone got hurt. HA HA And when he comes in im going to read him the riot act and tell him to get his f***ing mess cleared up!
Goodbye and thank you for listening to me I feel much better xxx

Ceramic top? I have one of them and it's saweeet! easy to clean. It's also easy to forget that you'd recently been cooking something so you lay a melt-able something else on the still meltingly hot spot. Lost a few plastic spatulas like that.
The site is mainly for alumni of the reactor and engine rooms of USS Enterprise. Apparently, back in the day, those guys didn't show up at Mast much, as "misunderstandings" were handled at a local parochial level with duct tape and Prussian blue. I.e., being taped to the propeller shaft for a whole watch while said shaft was being very slowly rotated by the jacking gear. A buncha Morlocks, if you ask me. I like Morlocks.
She lurves her double-convection oven, trust me.
The Armorer is no fool.
Okay, that last line is utter BS, but on this one issue - I'm good.
SNERK.
(you didn't really think you could get away with giving Beth a new appliance for Valentine's Day without at least a little ribbing, did you?)
But if it makes her 'appy...
So can I be a cat are yer castle now?

I'll bet you got that stove so you can use the top to melt lead for casting rounds.... when it isn't being used to brew coffee.......
Once an armourer, ALWAYS an armourer.. :)
I wish I had the space and the money to put neat stuff like that in my apartment...
I'm just proud to be able to tell my friends, I know such a man. Dr. Phil...eat your heart out.
The prize goes to Barb, for getting it exactly right.
With a frisson of - I pushed her to the more capable (and pricey) option. Good wife that she is, she had set her sights a bit lower.
I'm guessing you're planning on getting your wife a new ironing board for her next birthday?
Just piling on because I can, and it's fun, and you're too far away to punch me in the chops :)
This is a just-shy of $3k range people. I know my SWWBO. I did not get her a drill, or a chainsaw, or a vacuum cleaner.
She likes to cook, wanted a new range, one with a double oven and convection, that can reach 550 degrees, so I got her one.
As for you bozo's telling me how wrong I was - look at the basement, compare to yours, and recheck your aziimuth of fire.
Move in and let you know it's okay for you to live in their home?
As long as you keep the kibble coming, anyway.
It was.
#1 - the old stove was incredibly unreliable. I would put a big pot of water on to boil for pasta, and 20 minutes later, not only was the water NOT boiling, but the burner had not even started to heat up. I would have to smack it with the pot for it to start up. The oven would sometimes run too hot - other times, too cool. No consistency.
#2. I really, really, really, really like to cook. I like to cook stuff that is difficult for some to cook. I'm not a big baker, except I do like to make bread from time to time.
#3 - this was the most expensive electric range in the store. Yes, I know a gas stove top is very nice, I learned how to cook on one. However, we don't have natural gas here, we have propane. Yes, a natural gas range can be adjusted for propane, but with the newer electric stove tops, there is really next to no difference in the speed of heating.
#4 - I was looking at ranges that cost 1/2 as much, and thinking I could do without the warming burner, the second stove and convection. John suggested I get the range that had all the bells and whistles! Way Cool! I love it!
John bought me exactly what I wanted for Valentines Day. He knows better than to buy me an iron or a vacuum cleaner. If I need one of those, I buy what I want myself.
Besides, he knows better than to buy me something he is not sure about - he has learned through the years! LOL!!!!
There is a dark side to it though, I think. The "just jealous" thing gets thrown around a lot toward too much, but in this case, I think it might actually be appropriate.
As the armorer reminded us so viciously... he does have that basement that we all drool over. So, the occasional flicking of twig and pebble versions of the sticks and stones thing.. yeah... we're arseholes like that, sometimes.
But it's not like it's our fault. You did make a blog site, more or less, designed to attract A type personalities who have a proclivity to stand up and toe the line in a fight that also have an appreciation of destructive type tool sets.
Besides, we need to occasional outlet to get even with you for some of your whatzis'. I mean, we can only stand so much embarrassment when the whatzis is revealed and we know we "shoulda got that one".
I know what Bill's capable of. He is at worst my peer, and really, probably better at it. Not to mention he has a whole different artifact set to draw from.
Happy St. Val's Day, to the Denizens! One and all.
-EllaTee- Who replaced the word "wife" for "more sensitive one"
'Nuff said.
