Put two up your ass and give me four.

So it's now midday, and it's not too bad. Work's going well.

This coming weekend I shall be standing in Wakefield city centre trying to get as many signatures to save airsoft as possible as well as attempting to educate people on how safe airsoft is. Anyone wanna help out?

In other news nothing much else is really happening. I might try and do something creative tonight, although Outlaw Star will be there for me along with Cowboy Bebop. :D

if you want to save airsoft, have you thought about making it more dangerous?,.. then it would attracts the extreeme sports people,. AND you could possibly get it registered as a millitary reservist group :)

Oooooor, combine it with cos-play and just do it with wire-fighting teams and rediculously over the top anime style weaponry and costumes.

Oooooooooooooor,... just go the "arts and crafts" route and make your own airsoft weapons. if you make them yourself for your own personal use then it's totaly legal,....

Oooooooooooooooooooooooor,... we could ditch the airsoft guns, re-fit a bunch of decommissioned AK-47's,. take out westminster and downing street with home made explosives and estabilish a new government,...

"rediculously over the top anime style weaponry and costumes"

... I will now not be able to rest until I've shown up in an Airsoft game weilding nothing but a huge plastic (for liftability) replica of the Buster Sword.

Damn you. :P

Erm... Actually not. Manufacturing one yourself (out of washing-up bottles and sticky-backed plastic) is still illegal according to t3h bill. Thus it suxxorz, etc.

And so on, so forth.

Id be willing to help out. If i knew where wakefield was.

Can it be reached easily from the centre of the known universe, birmingham new st station?

And do you have permission to be doing this? Are you setting up a stall or just pestering people like those clipboarders everyone avoids like the black plague?

Is this being done in dpm's?

And zat is why eye-protection is mandatory.
Of course if you're stupid enough to take it off in a live-fire area, you deserve to get your eyes plonked with small plastic pellets. And if someone fires in the safe area, or delibratley at anyone not wearing their masks, they deserve to have the book thrown at 'em. With a grenade attatched. And poisonous snakes.
In the same way that if you dip your hand in a vat of something that requires a COSHH-statement without using the safety equipment provided (eye protection is provided in with the site-entry cost), you deserve to have it burnt/disfigured/etc.

So, if you use knives to stab yourself in the heart (*ghasp!*) you're stupid. And they're not banned. Restricted oh yes, but not banned. Stupid frickin.. *grumble*
