AUGH.

I've now done the research and held an actual AR-15 in my hands.

And it appears that the M4 rifle I'm using in this thing has a barrel that's about eight inches too long for my purposes.

FRELL FRAK DREN. If it's not one thing it's another.

Nevermind. We shall use this instead, which is an M4, but perhaps not quite the same version as the Army

I have the iTunes running while I'm-a pokin' at your story thing and guess what comes up?

Sting and RDJ singing "Every Breath You Take"... my first thought was RDJ can sing? I did have to google it to make sure R. Downey Jr was actually RDJ... b/c, hey, there could be more than one, right? It was done for Ally McBeal - but it's also on a Sting album (of which I have like all but one *g*)... it made me giggle. *g*

AH! You've reminded me to hunt that scene down on YouTube and GRAB IT WITH BOTH HANDS. Only RDJ could take what I refer to as "The Stalker Song" and make it not-creepy and sort of endearing. He's incredibly talented and writes and sings his own stuff. His album is called "The Futurist"--I have to admit that most of it isn't my cup of tea, but there's a couple of songs on there I really really like. In fact, the song they play over the credits in "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" ("Broken") was written and sung by him.

He did a lovely version of "River" in Ally McBeal too.

Actually, the YouTube thing is how I knew it was Ally McBeal - b/c, that show? I could never watch. Sting or no Sting.

Heh - even Sting said that song was 'creepy stalkerish'. And after hearing that, I'm not sure anyone can make me think of it as anything but... =)

I think it's Robert's expression when he's singing it that puts it into the "endearing" rather than "creepy" category. Because, yeah, taken at face value, just hearing it? I've never liked that song.

I never watched Ally McBeal either, but I may have to pick up S4 just because Robert's in it. And this is me, being a sad, pathetic fangirl.

Ask my friend expectare. She owns one, she's in ROTC at Johns Hopkins, and can tell you anything you want to know. What she can't, her friend neutrino_cannon can.

Just send her a link to this entry. I'm sure she'll be very helpful.

Thanks! I left expectare a note on her last public entry. :)
