Have I Done A Bad Thing?

Well, you guys finally talked me into getting a Pocket Meteor, which James very graciously rigged up with an adjustable lanyard per request. It's tucked into my waistband even as I type this post! Highly cool little unit, if I do say so myself.

The thing is, I laid it down on the counter next to my keyring, which just happens to have a Comtech Stinger attached...and all of a sudden, the PM's lanyard kind of tied itself to the Stinger's keyring!

And now I can't seem to separate the two!

This combination is actually a little bit scary, because I can now whack a BG with the Meteor, and immediately strike with the Stinger...or "sting" one BG, and immediately whack his buddy with the Meteor...or wrap the PM's lanyard around my palm so that it protrudes out one side of my fist, while the keys protrude out the other side, and the Stinger protrudes from between my knuckles...or just let the PM dangle on its lanyard, throw a punch with the Stinger at the BG's face, and the PM comes along for the ride and bops him in the back of the head!

So, what do you guys think? Have I created a monster? Or is this too much of a good thing?

Thank you very much for your comments, fellas! Eda-koppo, I've got to finalize negotiations for the use of a digital camera with one of my friends before I can post any pics - sorry! But don't worry - it just keeps getting better(or worse, depending on your perspective

).

With great difficulty, I managed to separate the Pocket Meteor from the Stinger(don't worry, it was an amicable separation, and I still retain custody of both

). Now, the PM resides in a JSP IWB Pouch with an inch of lanyard protruding, as God and James Piorek intended. The Stinger rides right next to the PM, suspended from my belt by a keyfob. I've found that I can simply loop the PM's lanyard around the Stinger's t-handle(this can be done by feel while both are in my waistband), and by grasping the Stinger normally, both weapons can be deployed instantly with a firm upwards jerk. I have just as much control while swinging the Meteor from the Stinger as I do swinging it from my thumb, and it actually seems more secure looped around the Stinger - I sometimes feel as if the PM could "fly-off" of my thumb, but when the thumb-cord is wrapped around a Stinger in my fist, it STAYS.

And, to top it off, I'm going to try to get a local trophy shop to engrave "Marvin the Martian" on the Pocket Meteor. Why, you ask? Well, I identify with ol' Marvin - we're both nerds who have access to high-powered weapons!

And this way, I can now start referring to the Pocket Meteor as my "Titanium Pu-36 Percussive Face Modulator!"

Hey, Kelly! Small world, ain't it? I can't make it to the TCC show until Sunday afternoon, if at all - if you find me, great! If the planets don't align properly, though, don't go out of your way just to hook up, 'cause I may not even be able to show up.

Best wishes from the D.A.T. - Phil
