Just wanted to say hi after lurking for a while and enjoying the news and views of this forum. I look forward to a long and fruitful (!?) case of HIKV. I just sent away my money for Uncle Bill to keep an eye out for a nice matched pair of AKs, to be a gift for myself and my best man just before my impending nuptuials...
Besides salivating at some of the pics posted (especially Alan's "Ashley"), my first sign of HIKV was at the mall yesterday. After a long deathmarch carrying packages for SHMBO through the teeming crowd, I did a triple-take and near heart-attack at seeing the words Himalayan Imports atop one of the little mid-corridor kiosks. "Excellent" I thought in my haze, "Uncle Bill finally got a distributor, and right here in town too." But then I was crushed as it turned out to be just touristy stuff allegedly from Nepal... Oh well at least I can dream...
edit: changed the title just for you Yvsa! I knew it would get some of you riled up, and here I am defenceless with no khukuri
