if you look at the pictures under the basket ball ones you will see it.

And the kid in the blue vest in the first picture is holding a mag clip so now we know what they look like.

cool. They look a lot smaller than I thought they would be.

[CustomSnake202]

Exactly what I was thinking, it looks like a perfect size for that child in the picture, meaning it will be a good size to dual wield those bad boys. Thanks for the heads up mol.

[sistermol]

Your welcome.

But I can't get past the fact that we can't find longshot pictures.

[blinkycc13]

One man clan I know what you posted I was one of the first 5 people to post there and I was talking about other pictures like the ones I found of the mag.

Too bad I'm not into punk, Or I would probably have tickets to one of the texas locations.

[sistermol]

Underoath is not punk it is heavy metal christian.

[One Man Clan]

Is that even POSSIBLE?

AND you're christian? STRIKE TWO!

I guess gangsta-rap-christian is the obvious next frontier.



sell·out (sĕl'out') n.

A band which appends (or prepends, to taste) the word ''Christian'' to its genre, assuring a significant (but irritating) instant fan base.

[J cobbers]

So I will say on the plus side, that given that this tour is going on, the release date for the Magstrike at the very least must be coming up soon, perhaps a month or two from now. Too bad it doesn't look like it will be swinging near me. Oh well.

CXWQ If you read my sig there you will see the name T-Bone who is a gangster christian rap then there is cross movement so I guess it would be christian bar mitzba music.

That made me laugh. Rap and god don't mix. Not to make this into a religious topic though. Underoath is emo to the core. Like screamo, thats all I hear in them is screaming.

[sistermol]

Okay we have veered off topic but we will get back on anywho come down to gastonia go intoo joyful noise go to rock section find underoath cd. I know this is a christian band because they only have christian music here and look it up anywhere on the net. anyway before we got off topic I was saying that they don't have any public pictures of the longshot.

[One Man Clan]

I believe that the blasters from last fall, which I think was the firfly, hit the shelves in mid-late August. We may very well see the same thing this year, but who knows. It's all in the hands of logistics at this point

The Warped tour is far from a Punk only tour. Many other types of music are present ( Hardcore, emo and it's varients, SKA, regular rock etc. ).

OMC - We all know you posted pictures earlier. These are just new ones he thought people might want to see. It was also nice to know Hasbro is having a tent as some of the tour dates ( although not at the camden one ).

[The Infinite Shindig]

I am confused. How did we go from Nerf guns to Christian rap music?

Seriously.

I started to look at your sig but then I was blinded by the abusive color tags and lame ascii art so I deleted it. Now it doesn't say anything about T-Bone at all so I had to resort to Google. Ass. Way to make things harder for me.

I did find a lovely fan comment which I think tells me everything I need to know.

I've been listening to T-Bone since 1998 and I think his CD's are off the hook. Any waays I have 4 boys and my 2 oldest boys are Teenagers and they really love his music because they bring there CD's to school and the kids at school don't believe that T-Bone is a saved man. I thank God for a man like you T-Bone who is willing to go out and be happy that your saved and don't care what anyone say about you because your doing this for God. I think that you need to keep doing what your doing because you have changed my husband and my 2 oldest boys life and by the way we have the DVD Fighting Temptations. May God continue to Bless You T-Bone.

Praise The Lord! T-Bone is obviously MOVING the PEOPLE.

I think perhaps you're going a little over the top though when you call it gangsta rap because, all things being equal, I wouldn't expect a "saved man" to be performing a "style of rap music associated with urban street gangs and characterized by violent, tough-talking, often misogynistic lyrics." Though current followers of Christ are frequently misogynistic, they're usually not violent.

Except for whoever broke the Darwin Fish emblem I had on the back of my old Civic. That is a Fucking Hardcore Christian right there.

Well, I guess the guy at the mall who said I was lucky he was a Christian because otherwise he'd beat the shit out of me had some rage issues to work out too.

OK, nevermind. Christians and gangsta rap DO fit nicely together. Carry on.

Underoath is a screamo christian band, but that doesn't make a difference at my school. People who are obviously not christian (quite the opposite, really) still like them. They're my favorite band.

There is also AA. Think a christian Lil' Romeo. Funny as hell.

Two recent topics, this one and this one, both point to at least the magstrike coming out in 1-2 months. My guess is late august.

I was at the venue in Raliegh. Hasbro was present, though they didn't have any Nerf blasters out...it was raining for like half the day, so instead they just decided to futiley soak people. Turns out that angsty teenagers who are already soaking wet really don't care if you squirt them any more. I meant to ask one of the reps there about Nerf stuff but I was having too much fun raining doom onto the people who walked past the tent.

Also, hippies are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. If one ever drops his hat, promptly return it to him and you will be rewarded most...graciously, if you catch my drift.

EDIT: Anyone who tells you that Mountain Dew is present, a la the pictures, is a dirty liar. However, the nice girls at the Monster truck were kind enough to present me with all of the Monster I could drink, free of charge. I should have asked one to marry me.

This looks promising, but I was kind of hoping for the longshot first. That's a longshot there.

SKA

Why is Ska in all caps, but nothing else is? Just in case people didn't know, it came from 'Skavoovie', a jamaican greeting, and it's not an acronym.
