Admin Meeting

[jdbnsn]

The TBCS admins had a great little weekend meeting to kick back, chit-chat, and sculpt our plan to take over the world. During our morning coffee break, some guy started walking up the drive way carrying an Apple computer in his hands...the nerve!

[b4i7]

this pic should be the official TBCS YOU GOT BANNED email

ps for paul and curtis..ilost

[Zephik]

I'm pretty sure thats the most bad ass picture I have ever seen here at TBCS. :up:

Now if only Airbozo, SgtM, Tybrenis and Omega had been there as well... but maybe thats a good thing that they weren't? Who knows what would of happened if that many "bad ass" TBCS members joined up in a single location. Probably something on the lines of like when someone divides by zero I would imagine. ;)

LoL. That is Hilarious. :)
I agree with B4i7 you should use it as the banned message
for spammers, with a caption that reads "get the flock outta eah".

Good to see who it is I've been talking to all this time.
You guys all look great perched on the porch there.

[simon275]

Haha nice.

Looks like you all had a good time.

[Crimson Sky]

Git dat Apoo outta mah yard, you VARMINKS!

[Pointy_Stick]

And here's their target:

But seriously, stuff like this is why I joined up and have stuck around this site. There's a real sense of community and friendship on these forums, and this just proves it. So thanks guys for a great forum(and gals. I know you're out there ;))

Wow, I just lost a ton of Manly Points there. So...errr...how 'bout that local sports team?

[SgtM]

I stayed home this weekend because of having to host a bachelor party. Turns out that the party got canceled. :unhappy: I would have LOVED to make this trip.

[BerticusPryme]

Yeah I will agree I have had a problem or a simple question and there ahs always been someone there to help me. I consider you all to be a second family. Now....about the picture....The oonly one that looks like they would fit the bill of computer junkie would be Ovride. Sorry man but you fit the bill. Hold a gun like that and it will break your wrist. I'm just playing guys great pic.looks like it was a ton of fun.

[Ichbin]

/cry...

I wish i was able ta go :(

[Airbozo]

Hehe, Good thing I was not there. Been having an itchy trigger finger lately. Just ask the Father-in-Law. I was helping him build a shed and must have been a little jumpy. That 2x4 was a prime target for the nail gun and about 10 nails. Woops!

I am NOT going to miss the next shin-dig!

[Zephik]

Now that is a great picture. :up:

Question: So could anyone understand Dave or did you have to hire a translator to follow you guys around everywhere? :D ;) :)

...and please tell me it was a midget riding a donkey? /inside joke (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showpost.php?p=94615&postcount=24)

[XcOM]

wish i could have made it, but all those miles is tooo far for me to travel on my finances atm,

maybe if i start saving i could make it next time something comes up?

[b4i7]

i would have gone as well, cept ovride ran out of space in his backpack...so i couldnt fit:down:

[Crimson Sky]

hehehe great pic! had a great time, I feel so special that y'all came to meet me. Let's do it again!~!

Actually it wasn't so bad--I think his accent softened during his stay in the US....sounded vaguely Russian for some reason.

[XcOM]

Ay, daves wee scottish voice isn't over powering like some!



i like the fact that everyone is aiming to the right, barr dave who decides to aim for the camera, and BTW, you look nothing like you pic in custom PC

[Drum Thumper]

Looks like you guys ate well too.

[Omega]

did you bite it's head off?

[Luke122]

Probably.

Well guys, I'm sorry that I wasnt there too.. I wanted to, but circumstances proved otherwise. I'm glad to see that the get together happened, so maybe next year..?

[Airbozo]

Sooner than next year hopefully. I am still miffed at my workplace. We had so much to do that everyone panic'd and it turns out we were able to accomplish plenty and not have to be here saturday. Hell I could have skipped friday and still would be caught up.

I showed my GM the first gun picture and told him he owed me big time. He gave me a quick laugh and said great, mixing guns and computers....

And the problem there is?

..that would be me. Did I mention I got a Mac Mini in trade for my media pc? It's awesome with the external 750gb hdd. ;)


Now that I'm working again, I'll be modding it up a bit once I get some cash. :D Core2Duo proc upgrade anyone?

[Crimson Sky]

http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/misc/cs-1.html

some stuff we did at Camp Stogie :)

[Eclecticos]

Looks like ya'll have made great use of your time.
Paul really know hows to entertain guests, apparently.
Fishing, Target Shooting, and Mischief. Doesn't get any better than that.

It would have been funny to see one of you out in the pond there in fishing waders.
Or treble hook accident, where you catch and cast your buddys hat. :D

If I ever get a chance to meet up with ya'll I will teach you how to fly fish.

[FrooP]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhaaaaaaaaaw

[SgtM]

Looks like you guys had a helluva time. Camp Stogie looks awesome, pulling fish outta the pond, awesome.. guns, awesome.. beer, awesome.

[Tech-Daddy]

Shack full of geeks wit gunz.... now that is some modding!
"Meh... painting bullet holes... screw that!"
*POW!*
"Yea.. that's good!"

Is this the "Crimson hide away" where he disappears to meditate?
;)

[noopypoop]

Lol that was a nice shot in the video. Were you aiming for the CO2 tank or did you accidentally leave it there and shoot it?

[Crimson Sky]

Lol that was a nice shot in the video. Were you aiming for the CO2 tank or did you accidentally leave it there and shoot it?

We set it up to try and pierce it with one of these .22 cal pellets, and it hit on the first shot. The pellet wound up inside the co2 cartridge, we could hear it rattling around. The tip of the cartridge is about 3/16". ;)

http://www.targetsports.co.uk/images/predatorbpellets.jpg

[jdbnsn]

That shot was awesome, you can hear the rest of us going ape-**** in the background.

[FuzzyPlushroom]

I'm pretty sure thats the most bad ass picture I have ever seen here at TBCS.

Amen! Paul looks ready to go hunting... for premod owners!

[b4i7]

just got home from curtis' a bit ago, watched the video and got to see all the pics from the trip

im gonna have to meet up with you guys next time im up in the area

i felt like a little girl that met *insert random teen "band" here* when curtis handed me the book

thanks paul! the invision is definitely getting a frame and place on my wall, you are a true inspiration to everyone in the modding community

[OvRiDe]

I think he wet himself just a little bit as well.. :D

As if you couldn't see by the pics and the video, I had a blast!

I can tell you some of the fondest memories of my life will be of me sitting around a campfire in the Catskill mountains, just shooting the **** with Jon, Paul, and Ringo... err make that Dave. ;)

And that shot Paul pulled off.. I know you've seen the video, but OMG if you were there, it was frickin INSANE.

I am hoping in the future we can work out another meetup where I will get the chance to shake hands with more of you guys!

[Crimson Sky]

We should organize a TBCS Gathering--meet up in a central location, maybe a notable LAN party somewhere. Could be fun ;)

[Omega]

Hell yeah. I would be so down for that, you don't even know. I had a great time just dicking around at the Maker Faire, I can only imagine what TBCS-LAN 2010 would be like. ;)

[Airbozo]

I know it is not central, but I would offer up our new company digs to host a TCBS West Coast lan party. We could put several dozen of people in there. The place is Ideal for hosting a large event.

[Crimson Sky]

I'm down for that, I love visiting Cali.

[b4i7]

central location? me and ovride are right here in the middle of the US :P

but that would be really cool to have a large TBCS meetup

edit: just saw ABs post, i think a trip to cali would be fun

[Airbozo]

I just spoke to the General Manager and he has no issue with it. Our new digs are across the highway from San Jose airport and close to other attractions as well.

Just something to think about.

I would also like to visit a central location. If there is enough notice, I could setup a carpool event if enough people are interested.

[Drum Thumper]

Give me enough heads up, and I could probably find a way to host something in Central Montana as well. I'd have to make a few phone calls to the Co-Op to see what kind of pipes are available, but I'm reasonably sure that I could get something respectable.

[jdbnsn]

Where ever it is, can we still bring the guns?

[Drum Thumper]

Yes to Montana. Hell, I can probably make a few other calls and have guns available. I know more than one person in this state that has their Federal Firearm License :D.

[Omega]

California + Guns usually doesn't mix.

Omega + getting to San Jose does. =D

I could probably convince my mom to take me out there. ffs, I managed to convince her to let somebody crash here for a week that neither of us had never met before (one of my good friends from the internet, he's living in florida and happy now).

also, a TBCS LAN party would be awesome. I'd probably feel so out of place with my stock case though, haha.

[XcOM]

if i had enough notice i could come visit, would just need somewhere to crash and someone to help with where to fly to and transport from the airport, i can get to the us for about $500 return with enough notice.

[SgtM]

Yes to Montana. Hell, I can probably make a few other calls and have guns available. I know more than one person in this state that has their Federal Firearm License :D.

Insert evil laugh here.:devcool:

[Crimson Sky]

Actually, California has some decent airgun laws. You can hunt a few wild game with them, and bring them to state parks to hunt. Can't do that in NY.

[Bopher]

For anything in MT I would love to get there. Any body that wants to fly into Denver I'll make a detour a couple hours south if I can get the time to go.

[DaveW]

sounded vaguely Russian for some reason.

Haha, it's probably true. I had to speak in a Russian accent for most of the people at Camp Lee Mar to understand me.

Jon, I remember that bit! Where you said the targets are laughing at me. I don't remember what I said but I remember you guys not understanding me. That video is amazing Paul, thanks so much for a great end to my 3 1/2 months in the USA.

I brought a bottle of top-notch Scotch and we watched the evil dead movies too.

Groovy. :D

The whole weekend was awesome, and if I get the chance, I won't hesitate to do something like that again.

-Dave

[Airbozo]

So long as you stay away from San Francisco or Bezerkly, it's all OK. Several gun ranges within spitting distance of San Jose.

...

You and me both. Guess I should start dusting that case off now...

There is a place in south east San Jose area that permits wild board hunting and a meat packer close by... mmmmm Roast Pig!


Haha, it's probably true. I had to speak in a Russian accent for most of the people at Camp Lee Mar to understand me.

Say: "Nuclear vessels"...


I brought a bottle of top-notch Scotch and we watched the evil dead movies too.

I'm ready for the pain, tell me which one.
...
-Dave

[DaveW]

The second and the third ones. I watched the first one with Jon.

-Dave

[Airbozo]

The second and the third ones. I watched the first one with Jon.

-Dave

Screw the movies, what was the Scotch?

lol

[XcOM]

good stuff i hope with you being scottish and all,

some glenmorangie, glen livvit? Isle Of Jura?

[OvRiDe]

I believe it was this...

http://www.boozebasher.com/images/Scotch/Macallan12.jpg

Dave can correct me if I am wrong...

[DaveW]

Correct!

-Dave

[Airbozo]

MMMM one of my many favorite single malts. Now I really AM jealous I missed this event.

I will salute you all with a bit of the Talisker tonight.

[Crimson Sky]

That whiskey was the best thing since mother's milk.

[BerticusPryme]

Yeah I would be up for a TBCS lan. Been months since I been to a good lan. I know I would prolly have to drive a ways because of living in damn Alabama but it would be so worth it.

[Indybird]

A TBCS LAN next summer would be awesome. I'd love to take a roadtrip (or a plane flight) to wherever it is. I could bring a few friends and we could get some serious gaming and showing off of mods going.

-Indybird

[Omega]

i think casaul gaming with a LOT of shooting the **** is what it will end up being

not everybody on TBCS is a gamer, but most of us are modders, so

[xmastree]

Can I join?

http://cginternet.net/images/bang.jpg

[DaveW]

Next time, we're drinking Aberlour. ;)

http://www.aberlour.com/theaberlourrange/the_range.jpg

-Dave

[Omega]

you know

that's what sucks about this being in the US

you're all out in the woods enjoying some high quality liquors and shooting the **** (and shooting ****, to boot) and the soonest I'd be able to even get out there is next year, when I can't legally drink in the US anyways

anybody for TBCS-LAN in the UK? I can picture it now, a LAN party full of TBCS members and a looooooot of drinks. haha.

[FuzzyPlushroom]

What's the background music, Paul? Sounds vaguely familiar.

[XcOM]
