The Colonel's ambition...

I love that series! And, will admit, from afar sufficient to allay thoughts of stalking, of a bit of a crush on the artist.  lol

Delighted, old boy, but, alas, I've read her write of her passions for another, words that rang too true, and shall simply walk away and pine.

I should have no fear, for I possess a Faraday Vest purchased from Messers Cartmell & Murton, proprietors extraordinaire!

This garment is guaranteed impervious to any weapon known to man, save their own Faraday Alternating Pole Differential Electromagnetic Phase Pulse Dueling Pistol!

Oh.

Oh, my.

 lol

I've missed you guys...

But that was before I recalibrated my Braun and McFly Mark IV Photohydroxinating Wazahelzagiggawatt Rifle...

... and had a biscuit.
