Hey troops! I saw this funny email on some Australian website, and I couldn't stop laughing! Below is the complete email conversation that Adelaide man David Thorne claims he had with a utility company chasing payment of an overdue bill. From: Jane Gilles Date: Wednesday 8 Oct 2008 12.19pm To: David Thorne Subject: Overdue account Dear David, Our records indicate that your account is overdue by the amount of $233.95. If you have already made this payment please contact us within the next 7 days to confirm payment has been applied to your account and is no longer outstanding. Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles From: David Thorne Date: Wednesday 8 Oct 2008 12.37pm To: Jane Gilles Subject: Re: Overdue account Dear Jane, I do not have any money so am sending you this drawing I did of a spider instead. I value the drawing at $233.95 so trust that this settles the matter. Regards, David. From: Jane Gilles Date: Thursday 9 Oct 2008 10.07am To: David Thorne Subject: Overdue account Dear David, Thankyou for contacting us. Unfortunately we are unable to accept drawings as payment and your account remains in arrears of $233.95. Please contact us within the next 7 days to confirm payment has been applied to your account and is no longer outstanding. Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles From: David Thorne Date: Thursday 9 Oct 2008 10.32am To: Jane Gilles Subject: Re: Overdue account Dear Jane, Can I have my drawing of a spider back then please. Regards, David. From: Jane Gilles Date: Thursday 9 Oct 2008 11.42am To: David Thorne Subject: Re: Re: Overdue account Dear David, You emailed the drawing to me. Do you want me to email it back to you? Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles From: David Thorne Date: Thursday 9 Oct 2008 11.56am To: Jane Gilles Subject: Re: Re: Re: Overdue account Dear Jane, Yes please. Regards, David.

Dear Jane, Are you sure this drawing of a spider is the one I sent you? This spider only has seven legs and I do not feel I would have made such an elementary mistake when I drew it. Regards, David. From: Jane Gilles Date: Friday 10 Oct 2008 11.03am To: David Thorne Subject: Re: Whose spider is that? Dear David, Yes it is the same drawing. I copied and pasted it from the email you sent me on the 8th. David your account is still overdue by the amount of $233.95. Please make this payment as soon as possible. Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles From: David Thorne Date: Friday 10 Oct 2008 11.05am To: Jane Gilles Subject: Automated Out of Office Response Thankyou for contacting me. I am currently away on leave, traveling through time and will be returning last week. Regards, David. From: David Thorne Date: Friday 10 Oct 2008 11.08am To: Jane Gilles Subject: Re: Re: Whose spider is that? Hello, I am back and have read through your emails and accept that despite missing a leg, that drawing of a spider may indeed be the one I sent you. I realise with hindsight that it is possible you rejected the drawing of a spider due to this obvious limb ommission but did not point it out in an effort to avoid hurting my feelings. As such, I am sending you a revised drawing with the correct number of legs as full payment for any amount outstanding. I trust this will bring the matter to a conclusion. Regards, David. From: Jane Gilles Date: Monday 13 Oct 2008 2.51pm To: David Thorne Subject: Re: Re: Re: Whose spider is that? Dear David, As I have stated, we do not accept drawings in lei of money for accounts outstanding. We accept cheque, bank cheque, money order or cash. Please make a payment this week to avoid incurring any additional fees. Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles From: David Thorne Date: Monday 13 Oct 2008 3.17pm To: Jane Gilles Subject: Re: Re: Re: Re: Whose spider is that? I understand and will definately make a payment this week if I remember. As you have not accepted my second drawing as payment, please return the drawing to me as soon as possible. It was silly of me to assume I could provide you with something of completely no value whatsoever, waste your time and then attach such a large amount to it. Regards, David.

That is the best news!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!! :dance: :dance:

you guys are crazy. Its all about the Ewok Adventures. best quote: "She feeds off of giggles!"

CAP armor on eBay: ------- Starting at $500.

Here are some close-up pictures of my CAP armor: CLICK HERE If you guys want, feel free to request any pictures!

Ok here it goes, like Daetrin said before, CAP recasted a set of TE armor from 2005/ reworked the molds to make them vacuum-former friendly. He made his own belt molds aswell as drop boxes and ab buttons. The armor is pulled in really thick Styrene plastic. I'm not too sure what gauge it is, but its really sturdy! He is truly a master of the vacuum-former. CAP is a TD lover. He has AMAZING TD backpacks and TD ab armor. CAP has stopped making armor for this year, but next year he might keep it going. His son helps him pull some armor too! They do a fantastic job! Father and son bonding at its best! Perhaps his son will take over the CAP name. [if anyone is in the bay area of California, feel free to PM me so you can stop by my house and check out my CAP armor and helmets.]

oohhhh boy! What do you guys need to know about CAP?

what does this thing look like anyways?

I joined the 501st right after my 18th b-day. I got my armor when I was 17. Its sooo hard to wait isnt it?! Ha

sweet! Welcome. which type of armor is that?

beautiful. think i peed a little. LOL

Oh yeah! Love how sharp his new helmets are! mmmmmm.mmmmmmmm! cigarettes and baby powder! Thats CAP alright!

just glue the straps to the chest piece. leave the back un-glued, but held on with industrial strength velcro

I just used the ABS glue, then clamped it down for 24 hrs. That did the trick for me.

wow man! That really looks like you fell out of the movie!

I'm back in Cali, so now Im off to In-N-Out burger!!!!! YESSS!

Get well man!

since I'm in washington for the week, I'm gonna try this place called "fat burger". Sounds good to me. I can't wait to get back to Cali so I can eat in-n-out again!
