Tulip, you need to change your User Title to Secret Flashlight Nerd.

Kind of like a Zippo. ;)

ZippyT?

Streamlight TL-2

Came in very handy when fixing the polisher, so justified :D
I don't source from the lowest cost, just what the supplier has.

Doesn't have adjustable light levels and modes like those fenix's, or come with a holster very jealous.
Would be very handy as it is too bright to read by.:greenface

only less exciting if you drop it in the tent.

Bah, the tracked in mud will put it out. But if you're paranoid, use a BIC. :haha:

Guilty as charged! :cool: :D Hehe...

HLJ: If you like the Fenix P3D, you may want to check out the Quark 123 Tactical. It has similar specs and price range as your old Fenix. It has two programmable primary and secondary outputs with the maximum being 206 lumens and minimum being 0.2 lumens. Three flash modes are availbable: strobe, SOS, and beacon. Clip or no clip options are also available. Not spamming, but here's a site with detailed specs: http://www.4sevens.com/product_info....oducts_id=1653

You may search for another place to buy this light if you're interested in this light; however, that's the actual place where I bought mine. I got the limited Ti Quark AA2 Tactical when it came out. :p: Decent people with great service and decent pricing. If you're interested in ordering from this site, let me know and I'll pm you the way to get 5% off. :D

My EDC is actually a modified L4, and I often reach for Mr. Bulk's Lion Cub, which is also modified. :)

Beest: Streamlights are nice too. ;)

Speaking of Streamlight, I wonder how Big Sarge liked his MicroStream.

Tulip, I'm assuming that you've used your L4 to smack someone in the forehead.

I like that moonlight mode. I'm going to have to put that Quark on my wish-list.

Thanks for the input.

Why are you so into flashlights, Tulip? What do you use them for?

I'm guessing LEO.

What the hell is LEO?

Light Emiting Orifice?

I'd rather not say - it leaves more chances of getting it right.

Law Enforcement Officer

Hehe....Fortunately, I never had to smack someone in the forehead. :p: Btw, I was wondering how you could use the P3D to smack someone on the head. It's so short and the head is smooth. Not very ideal.

Because I like bright things? :p: To give you the most candid answer, I use it to shine on the ground when I walk at night so I won't step on any living things. An answer I only offer to close friends because others can't understand. But I trust you guys. Another honest reply would be that I think some, if not many, flashlights are so darn pretty. :D Especially those with bright lights are even more attractive, hehe.

And no, I'm not a LEO (Law Enforcement Officer). :p:

no comment

You just did! :nuts:

Buddhist?

All this flashlight talk reminded me of this, but the humor is lost without the video, which I couldn't find.

Are you a Jain?

Don't let her fool you, she's dog poop intolerant. :haha:

Yes :)

Hmm...First time hearing the term, but then again, I learned my faith in Vietnamese. I'm gonna check it out to see exactly what religion Jainism is.

Most definitely!! :D

Can't you just hover?

Uhuh...as soon as I receive this in the mail.... :nuts:

Awwww, that's you. :thumb:

Thank you :D

Jains are the folks who have to wear facemasks to prevent breathing in insects, sieve their grains to be sure there aren't any weevils, and gently brush the the ground on which they walk with a broom to move away any insects they might step upon.

That brings to mind the insect hospital scene in The Baroque Cycle.

Uh....then I'm not a Jain. :p:

eeeeauw.

Is that immediately after the scene with the formerly healthy insects in The Hot Wash Cycle?

Perhaps; the book primarily covered care and feeding of bloodsuckiing insect patients, rather than what landed them in the hospital in the first place.

Hand held blenders! The huge canister ones seem to break all the time. The quality of smoothies is so much better with a hand held one. The clean up is simpler too.



That foam eraser. The magic eraser. It really really works.

This is the shit; it keeps hot things hot and it keeps cold things cold.

Thermos Patent envy?

How do it know?

I don't need you. All I need is this thermos.

Coffee, soup, and Popsicles.

especially those orange creamsicles.

In the thermos?

I'm picking out a thermos for you. Not an ordinary thermos for you.

We have a winner!

[NavinJohnson]And this lamp. All I need is this thermos, and this lamp! And that's all I need. And this pen...All I need is this thermos, this lamp, and this pen, and that's ALL I NEED! C'mon Shithead.[/NavinJohnson]

Seraphim
Much better than Cherubim, the suck-ups to God, Seraphim have SIX pairs of wings for blsitering power and speed. To paraphrase Lightning McQueen: "There is one winner and eight losers"

Funny.

Products I wholeheartedly endorse: "Corn Nuts" yummm

Dude, I swear, the giant family farm where I worked as a kid grew some of them there corns for them there nuts.

Yummm indeedy!

Corn Nuts "Bust a Nut" radio ad:

"lightly toasted and hard as well."

Hahaha!

I met a few of the Holloway family (Corn Nuts magnates) on a bike trip in the mid 80's. Nice folks, they all had great senses of humor.

Corn Nuts GOOOOOD!!!

I'm a corn nut magnet too. :lol:

They really are good. I don't know, after all my dental work, I'd be afraid to eat them.

Today, I am wholeheartedly supporting Mucinex. Like magic, it is. Not coughing (much), seem to be able to breathe, nose running like a faucet, but there's nothing in it to dry up the nose.

Try meth, it'll make the bestest boogers.

I like the weight loss option with that, too, but I don't know if my dental plan is good enough .

Was funny last night at the all-night stupidmarket when the checkout lady demanded to see some idea. I looked at her, cough, sniffled, and held out $25, asking, is that good enough for you? I don't make meth on Tuesdays, only weekends.

She was satisfied. I looked pretty miserable and desperate.

Plantronics has been developing telephone headsets for many years. For wired or bluetooth phone gear, they are still the king.

Verizon FIOS remains top notch. No complaints in years of service so far.

When you need technology/computer products, you must buy them from Newegg.

I am a huge fan of northeastern-US supermarket chain Wegman's. They delight in every way.

I did a trial-run with my new Hoover SteamVac ("with CleanSurge!") this afternoon. I have a relatively small but nonetheless quite clean patch on my carpet now! This is very exciting, as paying a company to come in and do it is not affordable, especially considering how often it realistically needs to be done around here.

It took a little jiggering with the pieces at one point to regain an airtight seal after I removed the dirty water tank to empty it, but I made it work. I'm extremely happy with it overall.

Oh we totally endorse the Hoover Steam Vacs. They rock.

...and they wear out if you use them enough. Get an extended three year warranty and take it back at 2y11m. There will be enough wrong with it to get a new one and then you can buy a new 3y warranty for peanuts. Well, we're on our third vac this way.... I guess eventually they'll wise up.....

Hmm. Got it off Amazon, no offer of a 3-year-warranty. I'll get the next one at a brick-and-mortar.
