Blame Itstehpope and Darrian Wolfe for the C-2. The fun they have had with C3i at Gencon in the last few years inspired it.

I'll drive the F version but carry 10 slug and 5 cluster. Just personal preference.  Wink

I like the B version too.

Not sure about the C-2 but the rest look OK to me.  Smiley

Solaris Skunk Werks won't let you put down blank ammo, it has to be one or the other.  Crazy

A quick update before I crash in front of the computer...again.   Wink

The comics are updated, and just in time too....
Block It shows that DC Comics hasn't even scratched the surface of how wrong a Green Lantern ceremony can be.
All My Hexes introduces the first of a three part strip based on the Liberation of Terra, featuring TEHPOPE!
The Weeklystickmata is so inspired, you get to figure out what it means. Wink
The Random Photo shows how the recession is affecting one beatle's song.

Look for the new articles from Really Pathetic News Network in the next few days!

Thank you very much, glad you liked the new comics... I should have at least two more Gen Con related All My hexes coming up... Block It has become somewhat harder since I can only do so much with my own toys that aren't added to much lately.

And, since I cannot forget Really Pathetic News Network it now has new must see stuff for this week:

In News, a oil spill themed cook-off is all the rage in the gulf.
In Opinion the editor talks about how we are all at least a little dumb.
In Sports all future Pokemon World Championships will include Jock related attacks.
In entertainment we review the card game Flapjacks and Sasquatches.
In Society grey xphile makes his return with a review with Lindsay Lohan.

Check it all out and more via our sig links or at http://www.reallypathetic.com/rpnn.html

 Truth be told, my problems on this bill are many. To list ten:
1.) I do not believe the government has the authority to compel an individual not interested in a type of commerce to engage in it. They can attach conditions as regulations, but something tells me requiring insurance to receive medical care would not fly with any person.
2.) No tort reform to lower health costs
3.) Extreme paper work on small businesses
4.) An arbitrary amount of employees required of a small business before they have to provide a health insurance plan or pay the fine.
5.) No interstate trade to reduce costs (There was a state's rights argument against this. I cannot claim to know the perfect legalities of it.)
6.) I have no plans to get mamograms and should not have to deal with paying for the extra service.
7.) no attempts really to get bipartisan support. Most of the republican amendments were correcting grammer, and making sense of context. It can be argued that the Republicans did not have any plans to support the bill, but the president promised to look into tort reform, but obviously just to say it.
8.) It was passed without the doctor fix since it would have made the bill add to the deficet. It also double counted savings, and added taxes which were downplayed.
9.) It takes money away from a social security program (If you are going to have them you should keep them funded)
10) It claimed that savings would be made in fighting fraud and waste

It was rushed, and we were told that Congress amongst others would learn what was in it after they voted for it (Who can you elect these days if this becomes the norm). Sausage and lawmaking I guess. I am okay with democrats having liberal ideas in their bill, but not using proven conservative ones is a sow of closed mindedness. That said I am glad they did not pass the public option as law.

 Now benefits I am muching off of include:
I am safely covered until I am 26 which is really important since I am an epileptic who has not been able to get started quite yet having only recently graduated.
