I'm happy to annouce to our extended TAC family that K2 and his wife had 'K3' today @ 12:14pm, weighing 7 lbs 13 oz. The mother and baby are doing well. K2 is running low on 'go-juice' (as am I) after hardly any sleep and a 2:00am trip to the hospital. Everyone join me in congratulating K2 on his new addition. I'm finally an uncle, woohoo! The next generation of TAC'ers has been born.

What would be cool is the Spec Ops on the other team catching it and throwing it back atcha

Yeah I'm with you, Gator. 5,239,191 out of 1,143,561. But I have fun playing

ROFL, White Nine! That's some crazy baby punting, man!

Just had to brag, didn't ya?!

Need a phone number, Tiger? Or are you just going to try a few until you get us? I agree that it works. I don't get any.

Now I'm no pilot but I'm down with the tank upgrade

Man, I need to find the brakes to slow this ride down... Happy New Year fellow TACers!

On a somewhat related note, I get to be an uncle finally and am so excited! K2 and his wife are having their first child and the little fellow should join the world any day now. So, my resolutions include looking forward to being a good uncle to my little nephew.

Merry Christmas, guys! Merry Christmas, bro!

Agreed. No cheating. I used my best guess based on my Latin background. It's most assuredly wrong so dont vote the same as me

Installing my Red Ryder BB-Gun mod too

I prefer the Gingerbread case or the crapper case... http://www.envador.com/

Got a few rounds with your name on them, Gator. See ya there!

Can I borrow that soap box when you get done with it, bro? Here is the way I look at things... I break it down like this: how much does this translate into when you look at cost per hour of entertainment. People will pay $75+ for a concert ticket which is about 2-4 hours of entertainment, $20+ for a sports events, $7+ for a movie ticket which is about 1 1/2 hours. So the cheapest of these is costing about $3.50/hr. Most of us play BF2 several hours (if not several full days... Flip... ahem) per week which translates into pennies per hour. So when you break it down this is very inexpensive in the greater scheme of things. So, I don't think charging for this is unreasonable. It's up to the consumer to decide whether its worth the price.

K2 and I, while related are actually not brothers... We are the Olsen twins.

$30US, Klink. Sam's Club has it for $26.??.

Agreed. Need more SF time on the server. Maybe we should make one night out of the week SF night...

I love the giving, not the receiving. That's why I selected other. It's giving those people in your life the things that they would not or could not get themselves. As I grow older I find how it's not the gifts that cost much, if anything at all, that mean the most to others. My wife grew up in New York state and moved to Virginia when she was older and that's where we met and fell in love. Her mom divorced when she was young and her step-father was not a nice man. When her mom and step-father split up all of her childhood belongings were left behind. She often talked about how much she wished she had some of those things. So, that year for Christmas I planned something very special. Around October I was able to get in touch with the man who was once her step-father and made arrangements for him to mail me all of the things that he still had that were once my wife's. I was really surprised that 1) he still had anything since this was around 20 years later and 2) that he was willing to help me. I guess over the years he grew to understand the err of his ways and wanted to give back what he once took from her. So, I went out and bought a hope chest and carefully wrapped all of these things (a school yearbook, a baby quilt and Christmas stocking hand made by her grandmother, photos, sentimental belongings, dolls, etc.) and placed them in the hope chest. (On the verge of tears just reliving the moment). I preped a short video with a song called 'The Hopechest Song' by Stephanie Bentley. Read the lyrics some time if you have a chance. I also made a homemade magic wand that was a star wrapped in foil on the end of stick. I placed the wand in her Christmas stocking the night before Christmas. When she woke the next morning she saw the wand and asked what it was for. I told her that it was a magic wand and she would get to use it later. Every year we go to my parents for Christmas and I had left the hope chest and video there. So, when it was time to exchange gifts I played the video for her and then showed her the hope chest. I told her that it was time for her to use her magic wand and to wish for something special. Then she opened the chest and began to open the gifts inside. The room was full of tears of joy, it was overwhelming. That is my favorite Christmas memory ever. I don't know that I will ever be able to do something like that for someone again but I wish that I could experience that feeling again. To give something to someone that they could never get themselves. Their most cherish and prized desires. Christmas is about selflessness. About sharing. Childhood memories, photos of loved ones that have passed away this year, a calendar with hand written notes of encouragement and love on every day of the year. Heck, I got garbage pickup service for a year for my birthday last year and that was a great gift. Something that I would not pay for myself. Merry Christmas, clan-mates!

Take the bus or a cab and shoplift. Problem solved...

Anybody got some Windex so I can get the tongue marks off my monitor?

Careful not to park on the hillside.
