I run a few strips of that insulation foam tape down the insides. About 10 inches long each. Never had a problem.

I was under the impression (and maybe I'm wrong here) that PVC does not come in the exact diameter of the barrel on a Sterling. Wouldn't that "technically" make a PVC build inaccurate?

Oh Wow! That is SWEET!!!

Yeah, if you can get Adywan's ANH Revisited on DVD it is the only one you will ever watch again. It looks super clean and great sound. Out of the hundreds of things he fixed or changed there is only one shot I disagree with. But I'll keep that to myself. If you can get it-- DO IT!!

Thanks for the info. I will check into all of them.

Can you hook me up with a thread or a link that might show me this helmet?

I recently bought a killer sound system from a guy at a convention. I'm looking for a new helmet to put it in. I really like my MR but I know they are hard to get now. Maybe something new. Any ideas? But I have a criteria. I do not want a wonky helmet, I want one that is exactly the same on both sides. I do not want bumps and lumps. No eyebump. And I do not want anything I have to paint. I would rather have good glossy abs. But I do not want anything smaller than an MRCE as I can barely get mine on and off.Any help would be appreciated. Will also be looking for a new fan set up if anybody knows where to get one. I have no electrical know how. Can't solder a wire to save my life. Would rather have a fan system that is self contained and ready to go. Any help?

Oh yeah!!!

With some of the armor it has to with flash photography. I have the MR helmet and to the naked eye or non flash photography it looks the same shade as my armor. BUT with a flash there is a definite difference in color. Not sure why that happens?

Where or how do you even get "stormtrooper" out of that thing?

Oh man, that is too funny. Y'know it's weird--I remember back in the 70s and early 80s I began to recognize that scream in movies. But we had no VCRs or tapes or anything like that and I had no way of explaining it to anyone. Everyone thought I was crazy telling them I kept hearing the exact same scream in movies and since I had no way of showing examples I guess I did sound a little bit stupid. Years later when that scream became a well known thing I was like "YEAH, I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT!! I knew I wasn't losing my mind!!" Anybody else have that experience?

Mine is TK9299. I picked 9 because it's eighteen divided by two. 2 because it's one less than three. Another 9 because it's what you get if you add four to five. And finally another 9 because upside down it would be six.

I'd rather not have either one of them working on my pipes!!

Yeah, I ordered a size 13 for a buddy of mine back at the first of December. Got them in the other day. Get on the list and just keep checking with them about every other week. They are very nice and always respond in kind.

Just heard from them. Boots are in. My order is already shipped!! Get em while they're hot!!

I'm on the backorder list too and have been in contact with them several times. Surely the backorder list will ship first.

Lately my computer wants to save every picture as bitmap instead of jpg. Even if the pic I am trying to save is labelled as jpg. Why is this? The reason I'm asking is because my Windows media player will not let me edit a bitmap pic. Which really sucks when I want to crop a picture or something. Can someone tell me why this is happening?

One of the fringe benefits of being an English or History teacher is receiving the occasional jewel of a student blooper in an essay. I have pasted together the following "history", of the world from certifiably genuine student bloopers collected by teachers throughout the United States, from eighth grade throughout college level. Read carefully, and you will learn a lot. The inhabitants of ancient Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and traveled by Camelot. The climate of the Sarah is such that the inhabitants have to live elsewhere, so certain areas of the dessert are cultivated by irritation. The Egyptians built the Pyramids in the shape of a huge triangular cube. The Pyramids are a range of mountains between France and Spain. The Bible is full of interesting caricatures. In the first book of the Bible, Guinesses, Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. One of their children, Cain, once asked, "Am I my brother's son?" God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac on Mount Montezuma. Jacob, son of Isaac, stole his brother's birth mark. Jacob was a patriarch who brought his twelve sons up to be, patriarchs, but they did not take to it. One of Jacob's sons, Joseph, gave refuse to the Israelites. Pharoah forced the Hebrew slaves to make bread without straw. Moses led them to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. Afterwards, Moses went up on Mount Cyanide to get the ten commandments. David was a Hebrew king skilled at playing the liar. He fought with the Philatelists, a race of people who lived in Biblical times. Solomon, one of David's sons, had 500 wives and 500 porcupines. Without the Greeks we wouldn't have history. The Greeks invented three kinds of columns - Corinthian, Doric, and Ironic. They also had myths. A myth is a female moth. One myth says the mother of Achilles dipped him in the River Stynx until he became intolerable. Achilles appears in "The Iliad", by Homer. Homer also wrote "The Oddity", in which Penelope was the last hardship that Ulysses encountered on his journey. Actually, Homer was not written by Homer but by another man of that name. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who went around giving people advice. They killed him. Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock. In the Olympic Games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled the biscuits, and threw java. The reward to the victor was a coral wreath. The government of Athens was democratic because the people took the law into their own hands. There were no wars in Greece, as the mountains were so high that they couldn't climb over to see what their neighbors were doing. When they fought with the Persians, the Greeks were outnumbered because the Persians had more men. Eventually, the Ramons conquered the Geeks. History calls people Romans because they never stayed in one place for very long. At Roman banquets, the guests wore garlics in their hair. Julius Caesar extinguished himself on the battlefields of Gaul. The Ides of March murdered him because they thought he was going to be made king. Nero was a cruel tyranny who would torture his poor subjects by playing the fiddle to them. Then came the Middle Ages. King Alfred conquered the Dames, King Arthur lived in the Age of Shivery, King Harold mustarded his troops before the Battle of Hastings, Joan of Arc was cannonized by Bernard Shaw, and the victims of the Black Death grew boobs on their necks. Finally, Magna Carta provided that no man should be hanged twice for the same offense. In midevil times most of the people were alliterate. The greatest writer cf the time was Chaucer, who wrote many poems and verses and also wrote literature. Another tale tells of William Tell, who shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head. The Renaissance was an age in which more individuals felt the value of their human being. Martin Luther was nailed to the church door at Wittenberg for selling papal indulgences. He died a horrible death, being excommunicated by a bull. It was the painter Donatello's interest in the female nude that made him the father of the Renaissance. It was an age of great inventions and discovertes. Gutenberg invented the Bible. Sir Walther Raleigh is an historical figure because he invented cigarettes. Another important invention was the circulation of blood. Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100-foot clipper. The government of England was a limited mockery. Henry VIII found walking difficult because he had an abbess on his knee. Queen Elizabeth was the "Virgin Queen". As a queen she was a success. When Elizabeth exposed herself before her troops, they all shouted "hurrah". They her navy went out and defeated the Spanish Armadillo. The greatest writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespear. Shakespear never made much money, and is famous only because of his plays. He lived at Windsor with his merry wives, writing tragedies, comedies, and errors. In one of Shakespear's famous plays, Hamlet rations out his situation by relieving himself in a long soliloquy. In another, Lady Macbeth tries to convince Macbeth to kill the king by attacking his manhood. Romeo and Juliet are an example of a heroic couplet. Writing at the same time as Shakespear was Miquel Cervantes. He wrote "Donkey Hote." The next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote "Paradise Lost". Then his wife died and he wrote "Paradise Regained". During the Renaissance America began. Christopher Columbus was a great navigator who discovered America while cursing about the Atlantic. His ships were the Nina, the Pinta, and the Sante Fe. Later, the Pilgrims crossed the ocean, and this was known as Pilgrims Progress. When they landed at Plymouth Rock, they were greeted by the Indians, who came down the hill rolling on their back. Many of the Indian heroes were killed, along with their cabooses, which proved very fatal to them. The winter of 1620 was a hard one for the settlers. Many people died and many babies were born. Captain John Smith was responsible for all this. One of the causes of the Revolutionary Wars was the English put tacks in their tea. Also, the colonists would send their parcels throught the post without stamps. During the war, the Red Coats and Paul Revere was throwing balls over stone walls. The dogs were barking and peacocks crowing. Finally, the Colonists won the war and no longer had to pay for taxis. Delegates from the original thirteen states formed the Contented Congress. Thomas Jefferson, a Virgin, and Benjamin Franklin were two singers of the Declaration of Independence. Franklin had gone to Boston carrying all his clothes in his pocket and a loaf of bread under each arm. Me invented electricity by rubbing cats backwards and declared, "A horse divided against itself cannot stand." Franklin died in 1790 and is still dead. George Washington married Martha Curtis and in due time became the Father of Our Country. Then the Constitution of the united States was adopted to secure domestic hostility. Under the Constitution the people enjoyed the right to keep bare arms. Abraham Lincoln became America's greatest Precedent. Lincoln's mother died in infancy, and he was born in a log cabin which he built with his own hands. When Lincoln was president, he wore only a tall silk hat. He said, in onion there is strength". Abraham Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address while traveling from Washington to Gettysburg on the back of an envelope. He also freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation, and the Fourteenth Amendment gave the ex- Negroes citizenship. But the Clue Clux Clan would torcher and lynch the ex-Negroes and other innocent victims. It claimed it represented law and odor. I didn't write this--it was sent to me by an edjumacated person.

I've been in e-mail contact with them all month waiting on their shipment. He said he would e-mail everybody on the backorder list as soon as they are available. I was hoping to get a pair for a bud for Christmas but what can ya do?

Aw come on, put the thing in Bumf*ck Mississippi where I live.. We have free mud!!

There is a product called super glue debonder. I get mine at the hardware store. Never used it on armor before tho.

Got mine last week and read it over the weekend. Pretty good. I don't think it was as good as the one for Star Wars but definately good. Didn't seem to cover too much on the VFX (my favorite) but some. Mostly just "shots on such-n-such were completed today". But certainly a good coffee table book to add to the rest of my SW library. Lots of good pics I had never seen.

That could be. Where I am it's very hot and very humid.

The thing I have learned about E-6000 (and it could just be me) but once you open it you better use it. Every tube I've ever opened, used some, and then put in a drawer for a week or two wasn't worth a crap any more. It seems to start to harden. I always have the same problem with Devcon. But again, this could just be my problem. However I still swear by both of them for armor building.

I've gone both routes. First the Hasbro then an SR kit. While my kit version CERTAINLY looks better, I miss being able to hear sounds come out of it. Kids always want you to "shoot" them.. .....And for some kids you just wish the gun was real...Sorry, sorry. Just saying...
