The original ‘Die Hard’ done as a musical from the perspective of Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman). There’s a bit of salty language and violence, but it’s ‘Die Hard’, so that’s expected.
Because it’s been a slow season, the folks of Niall’s Zombie Control Service have offered to make ‘one’ (see, the all-caps emphasis in the title was totally necessary) custom ‘NZCS Tactical Corset’ for ‘one’ lucky female individual, a piece of kit usually reserved for one of their team members. There are four stipulations to getting the corset, however:
1. You must be custom fitted, this must take place in the Portland Metro Area (Oregon).
2. You will not get the patches that they have on our uniforms.
3. The cost will be $225.
4. It will take up to 2 weeks after the fitting before it is ready.
Interested parties may contact NZCS via private message on their Facebook page.
Due to exceeding the original 10,000 pre-registration limit placed on early access to Glock ID, a soon-to-be-launched Glock online community, Glock has extended the number of pre-registrant slots to 20,000. Benefits for pre-registering include gaining early access to the site, the adoption of the ‘Early Adopter Patch’, which is a reward that counts as points towards your Glock ID profile, and a chance to have the Gunny himself, R. Lee Ermey, record a voicemail message for you.
Glock ID offers the following for those who join the site: a virtual gun safe to keep track of range time, cleaning dates and more, training lessons, a community Q&A for peer discussion, and an engaging process for earning points and ‘patches’ to rank up and earn GLOCK rewards.
