I knew this had to happen...
« on: September 29, 2012, 04:05:58 PM »
Motorcycle outfit with bullet-resistant lining in the jacket, plus the usual motorcycle-specific armor. The leather parts are horsehide.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

Er... Everything power rangers wear is skintight. This isn't.

It does remind me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on what.

Yeah, but which one?

Drax aerospace/Moonraker uniform?

Or the yellow leather Holnist uniforms from "The Postman"?

Bajoran uniform from Deep Space 9?

Maybe some b-list movie or show I'm not thinking of at the moment.  ???
