Rambo, love your Archos 404 (?). Hehe, I got a 605 160gb.

[Rambo]

To quote myself from Google:
"Whatever tool. Foo Fighters sucks donkey nuts."

...I originally thought it was Rambo playing Donkey Konga at the end...

Same to you, the first part at least.


It's a 160gb 504. My thread in OT have anything to do with your Archos-awareness? I won't be upgrading to the 605 since aparently NONE of the $300 in acessories I have are compatible and the $40 of plugins I have are, aparently, not compatible either. Fuck that.

I would give Donkey Konga a try. But there is no way I could have been there. So why would you think it was me?

[Rambo]

Eh? Sorry, I guess I was unclear, I meant the first part of my comment directed at Groove was also directed at you. It was late, but I now see how that would've been confusing.

I forgot to ask you Groove. Why did you ship your guns to the war?

I know I'm not Groove, but he shipped the guns to the war because, in airline transit, they became damaged last year.

[Rambo]

No, he did not take them on the plane last time. They (Groove, OMC, etc.) think that mailing has less of a hassle than taking the risk of airport/airline security issues. There is also probably a lesser chance, when vacuum sealed, that they will be damaged in the mail.

Nerf guns and airport security are a little bit risky these days. You could possibly get them through as checked luggage rather than carry-on. But I'd be more comfortable just mailing them, airports are rough on luggage and have a tendency to loose them.

[BustaNinja]

Yeah. If you ship them there is less of a chance of damage because mail men are mostly nice people as apose to those grouchy airport hags. I got yelled at coming into MN today because I wasn't in the right line. Also, they might break them because they are "weapons".

Also, fist post since Florida. I could go outside with out getting hypothermia so it was a great trip.

Im going to be interning at Congress during the spring semester, and ill probably have to have my guns mailed to me when its time for DCNO.Whats the best way to send them? Im assuming ill have to seal the vacuum as you guys have discussed. What bag do you(Groove) use in the video, and where can I get one? If anyone can answer that or give me advice that would be great; I want them there in working condition.

[Groove]

The bag I used was a simple vacuum seal bag I found at Target, the largest one available actually since my Crossbow is quite long and I had to package my drop holster, ammo pouch and NF in with it. I found it near storage items like plastic bins and such. You could also get it at Bed, Bath & Beyond if you're brave enough to venture in there alone.

Couldn't tell you the exact brand name because I don't have it with me in my new house, but any brand will do. I got a twin pack for something in the ballpark range of ten bucks. If you're really anal about your guns like I am, mailing them with any kind of shipping insurance is also a good idea should any of the guns become damaged (or even /gasp/ lost) in transit. I can't even begin to think what I'd do if I lost my Crossbow.

I've shipped out my guns every year to Armageddon since the beginning and the bottom line is it's probably the safest, hassle-free method to getting your guns out to a certain location if you're traveling by jet to avoid airport security hangups.

P.S. - RAMBO, did I ever tell you that you're My Hero? Haha, I kid.
