1. I own 2 large Sir Killalot RC models and one large Matilda RC model of Robot Wars of Great Britain.
2. I own a 30lbs RC combat robot which I gettting ready to paint a design on.
3. I own a 1:14th scale CAT RC excavator with real hydraulics.
4. And one LCN4011 heavy duty door closer which I'm also going to paint a design on.

I say these are pretty unusual considering I'm a woman. :lol:


Whoa! You got Matilda! I used to watch that show. Brilliant!

Whoa #2! You are a woman! I'd always assumed you were male! :oops: Just goes to show you can never make judgements based on a name and avatar!

I tried to get Shunt and Sargent Bash as well. But all of these models had one wheel where a gear came lose making the wheel inoperative. Just about every model that was made had this problem and they quite making them. Both my Sir Killalot models have this problem, but I will be able to fix the problems. I just have other priorities right now.

I never missed Robot Wars and I have recorded every episode. I still love watching the episodes, especially where the house robots destroy the competitor robots. But, some of the competitors was just as dangerous for the house robots too. Never forget when Firestorm got under and tipped over Mr. Psycho.

I may wear women's clothing and have long locks, but I always felt like a man trapped in a woman's body which could be the reason I'm interested in the same things men are interested in. :oops:

Cool! I bet your wooden computer case will be a great conversation piece. Don't forget to line it on the inside with something metal so you don't have interference in other devices as a result of frequencies getting out. :wink:

I've had computers running with most of the case missing and didn't have a problem.

I have
~an early 1900's book of Tennyson's works including "The Lady of Shalott". I adore that book because it reminds me of "Anne of Green gables".
~a book on Plane Geometry also from the early 1900's.
~polished slices of actual dinosaur bone I use for making jewelry
~My husband's keychain made of a tiger shark tooth.
~a small inlaid wood jewelry box that belonged to my great grandmother. In that box I keep a bunch of gemstones that I use as pieces for playing mancala.
~a few really small loose purple diamonds
~a whole bunch of loose rubies and sapphires

I once persuaded two wasted guys at a party to "sell me their souls" for fun. Wrote out a contract and everything. They signed it. I brought the papers home, stuck them in a jar that I labeled "Jar O' Souls" and stuck it in my closet. Kind of a fun novelty I guess.

Suppose you could say the cherished Gorgon coins from 500 BC (have 2)

Have several other Ancient Greek and Roman coins, but the Gorgons are a favorite.
