First!
That means I win. I’ll be downloading that .jpg if you don’t mind…
As a regular reader, I genuinely hope SSD doesn’t consider re-shutting the comments due to a few idiots that spout off BS in the comments section. Although I don’t really have much to contribute knowledge or anecdote wise, I’ve learnt a lot via productive conversations in the comments box.
Please, the camouflage debates are far too entertaining.
I’m with you on this, especially the input from that nice Mr Cramer.
I’m not shutting them down.
So… where is the Internet Pizza Box Award?
Myyyyyyyyyyyy precious….
(Do you know how awesome that would be and the looks I’d get wearing it around the office or having it framed by my desk at work)
I’ll second what Dev wrote: I get a lot out of the conversations that carry on after the initial publication (post). The fluff is easy to identify…and ignore.
Gecko45 would approve.
I’m gonna wear two plates duck taped together.
I’m printing two off and duct taping them on.
What are the standards? What differentiates Internet Expert from Internet Marksman and Sharpshooter?
It’s the level of fail. There can only be one award because everyone who is an Internet expert won’t accept anything less.
THEN IT WILL BE MINE. >:o (Just kidding, I don’t want to be the dumbass here. xD)
Internet Sharpshooter does have a certain je ne sais quoi.
“Internet Sharpshooter does have a certain je ne sais quoi.”
That’s funny! Made me snort!
I think the Award should go to Fanboy SSD themselves. They have much to say about nothing most of the time.
There’s a door…
What’s the history on the US Army marksmanship badges anyway? Why the Iron Cross?
So who do we pay, or like the man said, steal the jpg and find a 3d printer?
If you are going to steal it and use a 3D printer, make sure that the owner of said printer isn’t paying any royalties…..
I literally laughed out loud, at work, over that one. I’m getting some strange looks 😛
Will this be done on the pop-up internet range or some bullshit paper target?
Awesome. You just made my drink go out my nose.
Internet Expert is neither RETS nor Alternate Table. That would infer competently operating an actual service weapon.
Internet Expert is equivalent to the GO memo authorizing record qualification using an EST-2000/FATS.
How about the use of subcaliber comments.
That should be ? at the end.
I see what you did there. Well played, Sir. Well played.
Freaking awesome. Do I have to start off as a marksman and work my way up, or just jump straight to expert troll?
I dunno. i kinda think there should be a lightning bolt on there somewhere. Otherwise awesome. I would wear one in the real world at shows if you ever get them made – right alongside my beloved “Sex Dwarf” tab.
i’m sure it will only take a few days for knock-off “keep calm and return fire, internet expert” t-shirts to be available for sale somewhere.
Touché
This site is a gem. There’s no other one like it on the whole interweb.
Is this another career boxchecking thing? I mean, if you use all the right internet buzzwords, can you fail more spectacularly than someone with legit fail skills?
Look, I’m just worried that internet trolls will pervert the merit system and take away achievement from the real idiots.
Will high ranking personnel who have not previously used the Internet log on for a brief moment, make one or two comments and then retreat to the safety of their office where they will then claim a right to the badge?
So, can we get that subdued for Kryptek, multicam, and scorpion? PVC or embroidered? Maybe it can be made to match the winner’s couch.
Holding out for a Comment Action Badge.
Nice
No less funny than it was the other day 😉
