not sure what to think about this.
Hillbilly:
Wayne, you just need to read a few H.P. Lovecraft books, he was one of the earliest writers of horror/wierd fiction besides Poe. Good stuff, like The Call of Cthulhu, Dagon, the Dunwich Horror, At the Mountains of Madness, and such. And it's about eleven on Friday night, so spring water could possibly be involved, too....;D ;D
Tsalagi:
Dane, can you post some pics of your Roman legion? That would be cool to see!
stickbender:
Ok, Hillbilly, I guess I will have to start looking for his books. That way, I can talk code too...... ;D then I won't have to say .....Stuff...... ;D The Dunwhich Horror sounds familiar. ;)

Dunwich Horror was made into a bad movie, so maybe you have heard the title that way. There are a handful of Lovecraft stories made into movies, some reallly fun but not really true to the original material. Herbert West, Reanimator, Out of the Mouth of Madness, etc. I do recommend you look up and read a few of his stories. They are not for everyone, but I love his work. Lovecraft idolized Poe, but his main Cuthulu mythos stories were about cosmic evil trying to appear in our dimension and destroy or enslave us. As much science fiction as horror. When the stars are aligned right, and evil cultists lend a hand, these monsters tend to do all kinds of mischief.
Hail Asathoth!

Can do, in another thread though, so this one isnt more hijacked than it already is! But here is one....this is a shot of a balllista that Fred, the bald guy in the photo built, a small stone throwing engine, which can get enormous campared to this baby machine. :) Fred is a cop in real life, and a great fabricator. He routinely builds chariots, triumphal arches, all kinds of things.
The Roman hobby is great, because you can make and play with all kinds of lethal toys.
