It rains a lot in Orlando

by GilraenH ^Pro @ 13/10/2007 – 19:29:59

Hi there,

I have just recently got back from my annual ~~cheapie tag a long~~ holiday with hubster to Orlando. Where it rains. A lot. I was actually forced to buy an umbrella with Mickey Mouse on it.

Bit of shopping (damn it's cheap over there), bit of shooting (I'm not a bad shot with a Glock 9mm) and a realisation that I still have a roller coaster phobia (I'm disappointed that it doesn't have a cool name).

Did you shoot nipples on that target?

  I was aiming for his 'T-zone'.

    Did you pretend it was someone you know? I'd be very tempted to do that!

  Hi James - well, it's slightly better than my umbrella with piglets all over it...

I have only been once to Orlando. It was November and got the tail end of a hurricane. It was mainly wet...

  They call it liquid sunshine in Florida.

Coming to America to fire a gun, ey? Are we going native, now?

Yeah, things are loads cheaper down south, that's for sure--and of course, the exchange rate is nearly half what we would pay over on your side of the pond--I hope you got some cool stuff.

  8 shots out 10 in the kill-zone on a target at a 25 yard range. First time ever with a firearm, let alone a pistol which is tricky to hit a barn door with. 2 of those shots through the same hole. Puts my army family to shame.
  
  Grouping a little rough, but hey, if you were on the wrong side of Gil that afternoon that would have been the last thing on your mind
  
  Killer... !

    Hmmm--now I may be wrong, but I do believe that score automatically qualifies you for American citizenship.

  One Glock in each hand is the next lesson....
  
  Just need to get the appropriate outfit. The Halloween shops in Orlando were selling them, but you'd have to be a size zero to fit into them, which kinda defeats the point of a Lara Croft costume
  
  Although it would be fun watching the attempt.. *ducks*
