Haha, still a babe, eh?

Aww, cute... both pictures of course!

Skip - yes, of course... I always said I deserve to be a part of the BD babyface club anyway.

Might - Thanks.

Also, great to see you around.

I believe it is time I posted a picture, or two, or three. Here's me a couple years back at Tolkien's resting place and by one of his favourite trees, and a recent one of me looking solemn with my sword in hand! I apologize - the first two images are a little large. And I don't always frown - that's my picture face, apparently.

Wow, nice pictures there and you seem to make quite the knight!

There is however one thing I really MUST know. Where did you get those awesome flags you have in the background? I really have to get me one of those!

Beregond · 12-07-2008, 02:28 PM

Thank you, sir!

The flags were difficult to acquire, I have to say. I got them with perseverance and rather a lot of money. I REALLY wanted them to go with the pine wall I put in - total room Tolkienification. You may have more luck than I finding these flags. I bought them on ebay, from the company in Germany who makes them (flaggen-pehl is the company name, the ebay name was different). You can find these flags/banners on several German and international stores. I didn't order from a store because it was hard to find one that shipped to Canada for a decent rate.

The banners themselves are light material, screen-printed. Not thick and embroidered like you might hope. However, if you know what you're getting they are very nice. I see they've made a snazzy new "Boromir" flag.

Here's the company that makes them: http://www.flaggen-pehl.de/index.php...048968b6b5d322

P.S. I have to point out that my sword is a real sword.
