Morning? Good Afternoon!

Just checking in before I go out to whack some weeds. I need to turn some ground over this weekend. Guess I'd better get to it before I get too lazy!

WB, Penny! Don't be a stranger. :)

Yeah! - Especially if it is complicated like that! - I was kinda thinkin' we could get you to go stand in line for us since you are local! ;~D But I didn't stop to think you might have to go that early! I bet they don't line up more than two hours ahead of time here... Can you get numbers for for more than just yourself? How much do they limit you? - We need to find all this out... I wasn't planning on going up that early, but probably could! - (I would just be beat at the end!)

Hi Penny, welcome back! Hope your workload eases up soon!

Rose and I haven't discussed our movie-seeing plans yet, it's too early! We're not usually ones for having to see a movie the first day it's out, though this time we might make an exception. We'll probably buy tickets in advance through Fandango or a similar service to make sure they don't sell out, whichever showing we go to!

Now I'm off to get ready for the first football game of the day (Texas vs. Oklahoma State) so I'll talk to y'all later... bye for now!

I just posted the question at the community message board, so we'll see if anyone responds. I'll let you know, as soon as I find out anything. I would be happy to stand in line for all of us, if they'll let me do that, so we'll just wait and what they tell us.

Thanks for the welcome back, you guys. I'm sorry I'm so flakey these days...I work with a psycho who only works when she feels like it, so I end up doing all the scut work. Hopefully she'll get transferred soon so that I can have a reasonable workload instead of having to do everything!

Enjoy the game, Bear!

Well, I wouldn't make you wait for hours! Just till we can get there!

They probably wouldn't let me in wearing the replica of Sting (it comes with a scabbard!) would they?

Hehehe, wouldn't that be fun if they would? I could get one too, and we could have a mock battle while we're waiting around. :)

...and I don't mind waiting for hours--just think, I could an awful lot of the book during that time....and no crazy co-workers either....it'd be heaven for me! ;)

I am more attracted to the Sting replica than the Narsil lately... Putting myself in my place I guess... and the Narsil is really cool, but it doesn't come with a scabbard, so I couldn't just "wear it around" LOL!

And part of me wanted to make sure everyone had their life-jacket on!

I promise not to rock the boat!

Is there a link to these replicas? Can you really buy them?

This is really dangerous, because I have a teensy bit of extra cash on my hands....yikes!

LOL! Middle of the night is not my best time (though it is about the only time you can actually get to Seattle from here in an hour anymore). I'm holding out for a nice matinee on the weekend.

OK! - Here they are... the scabbards are sold seperately, but to fit the United Cutlery swords! Joy!

Blades by Brown Cutlery: Sting Scabbard

" United® Cutlery has announced that the Sting™ scabbard will be released later this year. Now you'll be able to get the officially licensed scabbard to properly sheath your UC1264 Sting™ sword."

I just noticed that none of the links above for the swords work right a pasted in...

Here is the link to that page...

United Cutlery at Entertainment Earth

Keep in mind though These same swords are sold all over by different resellers, often at better prices than those above...

Just do a Google search on "UNITED CUTLERY Lord of the Rings" Or "Sting Replica sword"
