Don't you have to love it, -- a He-man pissing contest, with just the
right amount of ironic detachment.  Well, I guess I'll just "have" to
list my evil baby-killing laser-sighted semiautomatic 20-shot 7.62
NATO SIG AMT (with four extra magazines), the surgically precise 9mm
SIG P210, the 1918 9mm DWM P08, the commercial Belgian P35, or the .22
Browning Medalist, the 7x57 FN M98, the .380 Walther PP, the stainless
swimsuit special .32ACP Seecamp, the 7.63 CZ-52, or the FWB M65 Mk2.
Then again, there are the signed Shinto jo-saku katana and wakizashi,
the Randall #14 "Attack", and #19 "Camp knife".  Furthermore, I would
have to keep up with the Joneses, excuse me, the Hamilstroms, by
citing my Sparcstation and Sparcprinter, the GRiDCASE 1550sx (x2), the
Quad/Meridian/Linn Sondek audio system, the hundreds of Pleiade and
Studies in Logic volumes, the complete Bourbaki, and the unabridged
Second Edition of the OED, plus the CD-ROM Robert and the unabridged
Littre'.  Then there are the 1986 1000 Moto Guzzi LeMans, the 1980
Ducati 900SS, and that ultimate in internal combustion genital massage
units, the 1978 Laverda 1200 Mirage.  All that, and no desire to join
the DoD, the ACM, the NRA, the AMS, the ACLU, the GOP, or the NSDAP.

P.S.  Almost forgot to list a 1974 vintage, 5'7", 115#, nipple-length
haired, exotic Oriental bimbette bedwarmer.  

P.P.S.  What do I win?
