Kids With Stupid Names

Your name. People use it but you don't. You are stuck with it for life. You CAN change it but it won't be the same; to your mum, dad, family and close friends, you'll be that and that only. You can, like me, go by a variant which can ultimately suite your persona better (I personally think 2 'M's and 2 'I's over 2 syllables are funkier. It is also fun for me to sign my name). I know a few people who have names that you only come across very often. My father for example. It's a unique name to him and the people he knows probably don't know of another person with his name. And besides, he's not a kid anymore so his name is exempt from this list. I've been working as a party host and with it comes a great load of paper work and not a lot of money. Within the paper work, we have invitations and in there is a chance for a brilliant wheeze at names alone. Because I had to sort out stickers, I got a chance to look through the names of all these kids ridiculed by their own name. Maybe it's a common thing or maybe I have a one dimensional sort of humour...It's the former, I know.

Celebrity Kids with Stupid Names
Because you're famous and have lots of money you can do almost do whatever you want, buy whatever you want, whenever, all of the time. You can buy a yacht and bury it and no one would think you're a window licker because you are famous and have a bank account full of bullion. HOWEVER, because you are in the public eye, it doesn't mean to say you can go around naming your children what the bleeding hell you like. Because, the famous people who do, look like window lickers. You can look through any internet site and find a mass of stupid names from celebrity parents. The Beckhams, the Geldofs and the Zappas. Go have a look; I just don't want to be blatantly copying other sites.

So what if you aren't a window-licking celebrity?
Well, put simply you're just a window licker but in the general public. These sorts of people like to give their children tasteless, despicable names. It would be a pretty lousy entry to the blog if it just consisted of link to another website. So, I did my own research. Here are just some of the most awful, nasty names given to children I have seen in the long 2 months of working at this place.

Garvey - This name was found and I stumbled when I saw it. I thought someone had got the wrong end of the stick and put the surname in the where it said 'child's name' on the form but I checked over when it was first booked and to my surprise, it was there as well. Garvey doesn't sound like a particularly intelligent name on both the child and parents side. It's like they couldn't agree on Gary or Harvey so they stuck them both together to create this. Why did they stick the wrong ends too? They could have gone with the HAR of Harvey and the RY of Gary to create HARRY!
*Note: Garvey actually means 'Rough Piece' which is a fantastic name for child!

Scarlotte - And it isn't just the boys either. In the Lincolnshire Echo, they run a yearly competition for best baby photos or something, and I was flicking through, inspired by these silly names and I tried to find the silliest. And I did! It just looks like very poor spelling when you merge Charlotte and Scarlett. Maybe they thought that because they both rhyme, it wouldn't be a problem. Well, I'm telling you, it is. You don't spell Scarlett like that. The most ambitious you get with the name Scarlett is by adding the extra T to turn from the colour red, into a name. Just ask Scarlett Johansson. Again, like it's been badly welded together. By a blind man! And speaking of misspelling...

Rylee - There's spelling differently and then there's spelling it wrong. Jimmi is spelt differently to Jimmy but both are acceptable. But I don't spell my name Jymmee. Mainly because it just looks like I've fallen asleep on my keyboard but mostly it looks like it should be pronounced 'Jiymee.' It should be spelt Riley; you can see the how the name is composed. With Rylee, it looks like someone has an idiotic parent who thought two E's are better than an e and a y. So that must mean they use the words Jockee, Hokee Cokee, Lacee, obee and quite aptly Loonee.

Fflyr - This first looked like another keyboard/insomnia event. Then I thought it was a Welsh name so I hit good old Google to try and find in a list of names. I was surprised that even Google was struggling. It so desperately wanted to look for 'flyer.' I don't even know how it's  pronounced. I want to say 'fler' but now Google has got the idea into my head, I can't stop seeing Flyer.

Destiny - Destiny is probably the backbone of Horoscopes which I discovered are a load of boswellox. Miley Cyrus' real name is Destiny Hope which is basically Billy Ray thinking 'Believe and hope this is gonna work out.' Besides, I don't believe in Destiny, as I found out...

Cordillia - On the party list, this name was down as Cordy. It wasn't a misspelling so it wasn't Cardy or Curdy or Gordy as I thought. Turns out it was short for Cordillia which I think sounds like the most upper class name ever. Not Cordelia, with an e, this is Cordillia with an I. And that changes the pronunciation completely. Again like Flyer, Google desperately wants to find Cordelia. And now it, and the fact Google can't find her, is going to be the bane of her life for ever. Cordy really does sum impressions of a gadget that keeps your computer cables untangled and tidy.

Templar - Aren't they Knights? Templar is supposed to be a boys name symbolising 'Temple'. Great...People named after head components. So, soon expect the family to be joined by Forehead, Crown, Nape and Cranium.

Summer and Autumn - Going back to the Lincolnshire Echo thing, I found there was an unsettling rise in babies and young kids with the names Summer and Autumn. Summer is a sunny season; the sunniest, so maybe that will be reflected in the kids personality. Still doesn't mean it should be done. Autumn is worse because it's the changing from Summer into Winter. Maybe the parents of this particular child were thinking that the name Autumn could reflect their child's personality, like Summer. They think Autumn is about the colours, the serenity, the calm. More like the calm before the storm! Autumn is colder than Summer. Autumn has more rain. Autumn has more cold days. Autumn also has lazier days and earlier nights. And then there's the fact that Spring and Winter don't even get a look in. I mean why not? People are clearly using two months, why not use the other two? "Winter! Your dinner is ready!" Or "come down stairs, Spring!" Imagine if they had 4 kids all named after seasons. That'd get confusing. "Summer, you can't go outside because Winter is playing outside. You two always fight. You can play with Spring and Autumn because they're closer to you than Winter. Winter's a bitch anyway. She destroys the roads, closes the schools and bursts water pipes. Although Summer does have a habit of burning people..." like the serial arsonist that kid is clearly going to grow up to be.

So, if you're going to take any of my information and any insight from my highly intelligent blog post*, then take this: don't be a window licker if you're not a celebrity. If you are, then them windows aren't going to lick themselves!

Horoscopes

So, my month analysing horoscopes and recording the outcome has terminated...quite a while a go. It's now April and I wrote that up in February. In fact, I got this idea that I should a simple overview after reading through them and giving my honest, heartfelt conclusion. It was a month long experiment to see if horoscopes actually did hold some truth. I thought that the single one wouldn't give a big picture; it was always hit and miss. Now that I've read what they have said throughout the entire month, I have come to this remarkable conclusion:

It's hit and miss. But mostly miss.

Click here to read week three
Click here to read, yep you guessed it, week four

Some scientists...in fact, these scientists...

...have said that horoscopes and astrology is actually a something that is known in the science business as a pseudo-science. This means that there is not enough fact to back up the argument and so to class it as a science, it has to have the prefix 'pseudo-' which means something that isn't true; something it's not. Science is of course the study to find answers. So it's actually saying "we have some answers but there's a high chance of them being false." 

As far as I'm concerned it is a load of hogwash. The majority of the time, it was reused hash. Like the photography stuff! It was mentioned at least twice throughout the month. Go back and see for yourself. 

There was some accuracy with what I was reading but how much of it was pure accuracy? And not what is called 'cold calling' where a thought is given and then we try and build fact around it. This is more logical. There must be many people born under the pisces sign in the world and The Sun is read by Britain, that's surely a fraction less but that still leaves many people. Does what Mystic Meg say apply to all them pisces? And that's only one sign, there's 11 more. Which leads me onto my next point...

Are they supposed to be used as guidance? Do we read them to give us the get up and go and think 'because it's written in the stars, then it's going to happen because the stars know all?' Not true in my case. I made effort to follow the guidance but whatever it said, the opposite happened. I don't if I was doing anything wrong. Maybe I wasn't willing enough to make it happen properly but I at least made an effort and surely that's gotta account for something? Sometimes it was a matter of doing what isn't convenient, like traveling north for example (February 2nd) or meeting in a sports venue (22nd). It doesn't say what type of venue and it doesn't say how far North? 

Or do they tell the future? Do they tell you what is going to happen regardless? No. I proved this is not so. They don't. 

So are they supposed to change your outlook? Do they give inspiration to do it in gradual time. If this was the case then this would make more sense. But it needs to make sense first. I can't work with it if it's not fully understandable. It'd be like getting flatpack furniture from IKEA and realising that the middle bit of the instructions are there. You vaguely know how to start but you don't know what it'll end up looking like as a finished product. And then of course, it hit me...

It's all down to superstition. Future events being foretold; happening before they actually do. Now, I don't believe in superstitions. That way, they won't hurt you. The only thing that makes you think you'll get bad luck by smashing a mirror or walking under a ladder is your mind. And vice versa for good luck. If you don't believe, it won't do anything to you. And that sort of applies with horoscopes. The stars may say it but you don't have to listen. Just go out and make it happen without Clever Mercury or the Moon and it's amazing sixth sense ability getting in the way. It'll feel like you've actually done it then rather than it being the sole responsibility of a planet. You are you're own person. Don't let the solar system take control of your life because that just sounds silly. The only real benefit I can see me getting out of these star signs is that for me, it gives me the chance to occasionally say "I am a fish." Now whose the silly one?

For my next experiment, I shall attempt to live my life without Horoscopes!

Awesome Things with Wheels

This post is all about things with wheels. Now, I'm all for anything with wheels, but the word before the word 'Thing' is Awesome! Which means the things that will feature on this list will be better than normal things are. I'm a bit of a transport fan. Anything that moves people and items, I'm all for. Cars, Trains, Planes, Boats, etc. This starting post focus' on them related to land going vehicles. Let's get started.

The Bucket Wheel Excavator
What a great way to start a list! Bam! Straight into the deep end with this one. Surprisingly it doesn't have wheels...ah. Oh well, we'll still carry on because this is awesome. Bucket Wheel Excavators are used in mining. That's probably thier only practical use. But what makes it a contender for this list? Well, have you seen it? This sort of thing makes even Optimus Prime shake with fear!. It looks like something hell-bent on destroying the Earth. Actually, that is kinda what it does, except it more or less just digs it up. JCB's are known for thier digging ability but this just takes the biscuit! Vatican City is smaller than this. Bagger 293 (pictured above) is so big, it's scored the Guinness World Record the biggest land vehicle ever at over 738 feet long, 319 feet tall and weighs over 14,000 tons. Funnily enough, it only requires 5 people to operate it making it very simple for it's size.



Challenger 2 Trojan
Again with the tracks...To be honest, I really wouldn't want to come face to face with a tank. The Challenger 2's are scarily awesome as they are. They shoot missiles out of that long tube on the front, travel over rough terrain at 40mph and blow up whatever may be in the way. Buildings. Planes. Bridges. Other tanks. Now, I know tracks aren't really wheels but it should still be here. The picture above is only the front of one of it's variants - the Trojan - and it isn't made any less scary with Uncle Albert in his day glow jacket pictured slightly to the left of this menacing machine. Yes, they have removed the cannon, which is relief. Whoa, hold ye of little faith as this bit of war kit has been decked out with all manor of lovely looking things (and by lovely, I actually mean dangerous). The Trojan is fitted with an excavator bucket so it can pick things up and move them. Things like buildings, planes, bridges and other tanks. The plough has got them evil teeth to help clear mines and push things out of the way. This has been used in Afghanistan (and on Top Gear, where I first saw it) to go on ahead to create a clear path for other vehicles. Well, that's what they say. I think it's used to scare the living daylights out of whoever may be around...

Roller Coasters
Can we say that roller coasters are a form of land transport? For the ease of my selfish self, I'm going to say yes. Mainly because, roller coasters are a form of such feats that they sort of have to be. For example, the worlds fastest roller coaster is Kingda Ka. Kingda Ka resides in one of America's world famous Six Flags parks. It is made even more special by what it is designed to do: go from 0-128 mph in 2.8 seconds. Put this into consideration. It is a safe way of going above the US speed limit without a car. 128mph is fast on anyone's account. But getting there in less time than thinking about getting off, you're hurtled along the track and up the worlds tallest drop. And the thing is with roller coasters is that they're incredibly initiative. Air at Alton Towers is the worlds first flying roller coaster and although it doesn't go very fast, it gives a whole new roller coaster experience. Alton Towers has a thing with worlds firsts. Oblivion (above), Air an Th13teen are the worlds first "Dive Machines," Flying Roller coaster and aptly named "Psychoaster" respectively which isn't bad for the fact they're all British. Speaking of world firsts, Universal Studios in Florida has the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit which add a soundtrack to your ride. It's the little things you know. So, are they a contender for the list? Letting you travel faster than the speed limit, safely throw you into loops and barrel rolls in a little train...yes, they do! Hmmm, train...

London Northern Eastern Railway Pacific Class A4 4468
Also known as Mallard, for those of you who don't want to say London Northern Eastern Railway Pacific Class A4 4468 in your head every time you read it, is, well, quite simply a steam train. But not just any old steam train. Mallard is the worlds fastest steam train. Now, 126mph doesn't sound very fast (I mean, Kingda Ka goes 2mph faster) but it powered it's way to it's record breaking journey in 1938. That's a record that's been held for 74 years! The only way you could have gone faster in 1938, would have been by plane (very expensive) or to throw yourself off a very tall building and wait until you reach your terminal velocity, which may or may not be 125mph - depends on how streamlined you are. America tried to have a go with the PRR S1 Prototype but it was unofficially recorded, so Mallard keeps the title to this day. That's true, British engineering for you. New-fangled trains now do that speed legally on the line, showing that you can only just as fast then as what you can now (I say that, today's trains can go faster but tend not to).

ThrustSCC
ThrustSCC is a car. But not any ordinary car. There's no boot. There's no place for your passenger to go. There's not even a spare wheel in case one gets flat. What Thrust is, is berserk. With Thrust, instead of an internal combustion engine, there are two Rolls-Royce jet engines either side of the cockpit. SCC stands for Super Sonic Car. It was designed for one reason in particular. To break the land speed record for and the sound barrier. It went so fast, that the team behind the car had to give the controls to RAF pilot, Andy Green, to cope with the forces this 763mph car could create. And to put it into perspective. A Boeing 777 cruises at just over 500mph. 763mph is just over Mach 1 (very fast). It really is an upside down airplane with no wings. The car broke the speed limit set by it's predecessor Thrust2 in 1997 and now the British/American creators aim to go 1,000mph with their new vehicle Bloodhound, but that's not til next year so ThrustSCC is staying firmly here.

The Segway
Now, hear me out. There is meaning behind the madness. How can a device used to usher fat Americans around be here on the same list as the stupidly fast ThrustSCC or the almighty Trojan? Well, the answer is simple. In fact it's too simple. In actual fact I've given the simple of answer of simple a few times in them few sentences. It's because it's so simple! I have been on a Segway and how they work is just nothing short of remarkable. The laws of physics state that it should not work; it should just fall over, only having two wheels on the side n'all. But the technology in there makes it stand upright. So upright that it can take the strain of a person. Just lean forwards to go forwards and lean backwards to stop or go backwards. And to turn, simply turn the handlebars like you would with a bike. In that small casing under your feet, there's a gyroscope that senses movement and make it act accordingly. It's very easy to operate but unfortunately, it doesn't like to fit in with society in the UK like what it does with America and that's why it hasn't caught on over here. Which is a shame really. Just goes to show: we're a lot different to the Americans really.

The Batmobile

I wanted to be ironic with the last vehicle and wanted to pick a car that was made famous from a movie. I only chose the Batmobile (Tumbler from Batman Begins and The Dark Knight) because it looks pretty menacing, with it's stealth armour and massive rear wheels to name a few of it's features. But I could have also chosen the DeLorean DMC-12 from the Back to the Future trilogy; that could travel through time itself. I could also have chosen Ecto-1; The converted hearse from Ghostbusters. Or I could have chosen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. There's so much choice! Bond's Aston Martin DB5; Herby the VW Beetle Love Bug; Lightning McQueen; The murderous Christine from the film Christine all deserve a mention. All because they're all awesome in their own unique way. Usually the wheels end up becoming more famous than the films they appear in or the films become more iconic, thanks to the car!

Gadgets

The wonders that have grabbed hold of the world that you can get today is truly outstanding. Not a day goes by when I don't wonder how better my life would be without a Margaret Thatcher Nut Cracker or the aptly named Nothing. But, without their doubts, gadgets bring the world of science and understanding to you at a price, and they bring with them hours of entertainment and boasting. As in "I got a Lightsaber Brolly, be jealous and bow down in awe...". Many gadgets are tech brilliance, especially for those who never really grow up. I mean, who wouldn't want a radio controlled Apache helicopter? Or better still a USB missile launcher to fire missiles from their office desktop? There is an endless list to all the items that I (and then, no doubts you) could possibly dream of. It's also a lot of stuff that I'm not going list here otherwise it'll look like I'm plugging iwantoneofthose.com (which is a wonderful website, go look). Gadgets range from the 'make life easier' to the 'outrageously silly' and all that in between. I praise the items that give such joy. There was once a shop in a local shopping centre where I live, called The Globe - which has been replaced with a fake jewelry shop, which is somehow going to make my life better (?) - that sold all sorts of useless stuff. From plasma globes, fibre optic lights and police beacons to radio controlled Daleks, bubble machines and yapping toy dogs that performs backflips (just like real life then). It was always worth a visit, when it was there. I realised, in a nutshell, they're just there to give your life that lil' bit of zing. And they are, of course, highly uncivilised. Which is a nice cue to move me onto civilised gadgets. The big boys of the tech industry. I'm talking about the stuff only science fiction could only have dreamed of 30 or 40 years ago.

Phones, computers, laptops all spring to mind. And then there's the everyday items such as TV's, radio's, games consoles and related paraphernalia like sound systems. Again, the list is endless. Let's start with a main consumer. Apple. Apple have gained a lot of respect in the gadget world, and with me, with their high powered computers, iMac's; their smaller lap-based offspring, MacBooks (with the impossibly thin, MacBook Air); sleek iPods; the even more sleeker iPod Touch, to name some of their most famous innovations. And out of them, there is one that can't seem to understand and that's the iPhone. Not hate, I don't NOT like it, I think it's rather clever and highly advanced for a phone with the amount of applications and wizardry like the accelerometers to turn the screen when you hold the device in whatever way, but it's the claims that's given out. In a recent UK advert, it shows the iPhone (3GS) amazingly shooting video. It then shows that it can miraculously edit and trim said video and send it to someone. Now, I have a Sony Ericsson K800i, which isn't a Smartphone, but can do what the iPhone does so easily. And the K800i is a big block 'candy bar' phone that's almost 3 years old and it isn't even a rival competitor, nor does it have the processing power of the International Space Station which the iPhone does, which I suppose is where the Apple brings it back. But, whoa, all is not in the clear yet! The iPhone, as with other Apple products, encounter another hurdle and that's the expense. On contract, under O2 for two years, the iPhone will set you back nothing for the handset, but £74 a month! Do the maths, that's in excess £1,776 a year (Based on the best you can get). If you saved that up, you could buy the International Space Station. There is a cheaper option, of course, which is to buy the handset. £538.30 (32GB). One of the iPhone's main rival's, the Nokia's N97, is cheaper and more likely a better deal. £40 a month for 32GB, a better camera and a QWERTY keyboard (from Vodafone). Or you could go cheaper still and get a K800i and spend the money you save on better things like the Poptastic bubble wrap-Sim keyring. I'd rather have a big manly phone with a lot of buttons (men like buttons). Not for a moment am I knocking Apple, they make wonderfully crafted pieces of tech but the prices can be sky high and you can only afford them if you can be patient enough to save up. Which I am not.

Now Apples main computer competitors are the ever trouble Microsoft. And Microsoft and their operating system Windows, are without a doubt, utterly useless. They're slow, they get infected and they're not made for fun. It's the computer equivalent of becoming old. But it'll have to do until I can afford a MacBook. There's a lot not to like about them. I don't like the way it doesn't respond and I don't like the way it wants to send error reports to nowhere. But I do like that I can play Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 with ease. These computers are work horses, not objects of desires. So what did Microsoft do? They made a games console...

As I type, Earth currently has the Xbox 360, the Playstation 3 and the Nintendo Wii. These are the 3rd modern generation consoles to date all of which derived from the Nintendo N64, Playstation, Playstation 2, Xbox and Gamecube, and upto the modern day Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii, respectively. Games consoles have been an escape from reality and into a new realm of digital vastness. And they have advanced as years have gone on. "Back in the day" of Pac-man and Space Invaders, it gave you the experience of running amok eating ghosts or dealing with aliens and this sort of thing took the world by storm. Now-a-days, you can do almost anything! You can shoot Nazi's in World War Two in Call of Duty; You can race Ferrari's through London in Gran Turismo 5 and you can even beat Tim Henman at tennis (albeit, not that difficult) in Virtua Tennis 2009. The sheer amount of what you can do is unlimited within the gaming world. It's hard to imagine where game makers get their ideas from, unless you work for Grand Theft Auto in which case, if it's not broken, don't fix it because it's basically the same, game in game out and they've pretty much cracked that because it's one of my and proven, the worlds most popular gaming titles. It's brilliant. Gaming has opened up what is a new release on life. The media then has to get in the way by claiming that games like Burnout glamorise car crashes, but I fail to see the glory of going out and becoming a part of twisted metal. It's not justified. These consoles and games have sold in record numbers over the past years and they can still deliver. Whats more, these are essentially toys with enough processing power of more than the International Space Station. Take that Apple! The PS3 comes with a 30GB hard drive. My Acer TravelMate doesn't have that much. Well at least it doesn't now, now that it's all full of music and whatnot. Both the 360 and PS3 together are just as powerful as each other, boasting high quality graphics, much more power and overall just better than what we had before. You would expect that this would leave Nintendo, which had a bit of a downfall after the GameCube wasn't as successful as it's competitors, to be left in the dark. Yet, this story is the other way around. Out of the three, the Wii is more successful than both the Sony and Microsoft machines. Which just goes to show. You don't need High-Def picture quality or realistic graphics. What you need is playability and that's what the Wii gives because it let's you, your mum, your grandparents and anyone else who would never really think twice about playing on a console, to play on this outstanding piece of kit. It also because it's more user friendly. No doubt the majority of Xbox' and PS3's are in a bedroom being played by only one person physically there (notice I said physically there. Just because you're playing online against some American doesn't mean you're not playing by yourself. You're isolated in digitals, or whatever the term is). So, not only does the Wii beat it's rivals, it absolutely trounces them! And it doesn't end there. There is a current battle with the handheld market with the DS and the PSP. The Sony PSP is so much more powerful, but the innovation with the DS dual screens and voice, touch and with the DSi built in camera compatibility, these two couldn't be any different. It's a good battle as Sony are up against handheld lords Nintendo, famous for the Gameboys. It could start to get interesting...

Mobile phone? Check. Console? Check. What next? What you need next is a telly. And a whole new barrel of fish fingers. HD being the fishiest. High-Definition TV is now very popular but I don't see the reason why. Sure it give crystal clear pictures but when you're sitting on your sofa, does it really matter? HD TV is a good thing yes, but no one watches TV up against the screen. HD is really meant for watching blockbuster movies on, I think, to give you a cinema experience in your own home. Not really to show Bruce Forsyth's face in all it's clarity. And to go with your TV, you're going to need surround sound to capture the home cinema experience even more. All you need is the popcorn dispenser and people walking in front of you to go to the toilet and you're practically there. Now in the 21st Century, there's DVD and Blu-ray, to make it that little bit better for you. Radio has even been given a cool, futuristic makeover. The way forward is to destroy all transmitters and get everyone to go digital, as the same with TV channels. Go go gadget, ultimo-recorder (with Sky + and Virgin Media) which does what the VHS video recorder - or the BetaMax to all you retro lovers - could do but better as it records, pauses and rewinds live TV all without the dreaded tape which has since died out. It looks like DVD really has killed the video star as the song states, if it were to be updated...

So you've got your flash phone - to call; text; play music; play games; take pictures; film; surf the web; send you're pictures, music, films wirelessly via blutooth; you've got your games console - to submerge your everyday fantasy of smashing up cars and blowing up buildings; and you've got your massive 500 billion (beating around the point) inch TV to watch Eastenders on in the best quality and make it sound like a Michael Bay epic. Yes it does cost but at this day and age, if you don't pay that lump sum and say 'wait until it comes down in price,' then there's going to be something else that's a lot better when you do eventually buy it. And you'll be kicking yourself for it. The flip side to that is buy the cheaper stuff. Example: Instead of buying a top of the range phone, get a phone that performs just as well as a phone and use the money you've saved to buy a camcorder to film on, a camera to take pictures and a laptop to put it all together. But where does that leave you? Well, you go onto iwantoneofthose.com and you buy what you like the look of, be it a chain wine bottle holder to impress your party guests, or a Nerf Havok Fire Automatic Blaster (or as I call it, Insane but Impressive, and that's just the name of the thing) to shoot whatever moves. That's what all these things are. Toys. Like I said earlier, you never really grow up, you just want to show off what you can afford and that'll give you a broad smile on your face in knowing you can afford such a thing and that you own it!
