OT - Dark Side: coincidence or not?

trozau · December 11, 2003 11:40AM

I joined this forum back in May 2002 and I found that the term used when one turns to collecting world coins is going over to the dark side. I also visit another forum (Glock Talk) which I joined in Jun 2001 and found that the term used when one gets into Glocks is going over to the dark side (could be because Glocks are black). So now I am wondering if somebody from here introduced the term to Glock Talk or somebody from Glock Talk introduced the term here or it is just a coincidence. Whichever way it is, I seem to be always drawn to the dark side.

Maybe Glocks are considered darkside because they're 1) plastic, 2) DA, 3) foreign??? Just a guess.

Hear the call of the Dark!

I introduced the term here, so I can authoritatively say it had nothing to do with the Glock ... whether our usage here influenced the Glock aficionados, I can't say, but I rather doubt it.

At least we now know what our weapon of choice must be!

If it's not DARK coins, it's a 1911A1 for me!! Liberator of the oppressed!!

I use a Sig P220. Does that make me semi-dark?

I have no idea what any of that stuff means, so I guess that means I'm "in the dark"?

Isn't that they way you talk when you have too much egg nog?

As a matter o' fact, I did have a tad too much egg nog. We sent about three gallons out to the lobby for a big reception the other night, and I partook thereof (before we "fortified" it with brandy).

It was good, but I think I've probably had my quota for the year. It didn't sit pretty.

Only on paper targets and people who really, really deserve it. Fortunately, I haven't encountered any of the latter yet.

A newsman who uses guns!

If that gets out, won't they strip you of your press passes and shred your journalism degree?
