Got busted last night

[The Heretic]

I used to think my wife had a spending problem until I got divorced

My ex-wife had no problem spending my money - she did it very easily.

I had a problem with her doing that though.

I feel sorry for you guys.

I know you love your wives and everything, but it is nice to not have to ask anybody for permission, or have to explain to someone about something I bought, or something I have, or any other aspect of how I live my life.

Love this thread and glad to see I'm not alone. I just let my wife buy whatever and then I buy my stuff. Let's just say we both know our limits.

It's what I call the "guns and ammo" for "shoes and handbags" scheme

Don't feel sorry for us..we'll for me anyway. I love my wife and get to buy what I want....and I don't have to go look for sex...sex looks for me

I have to admit to being sneaky, but only because it's easier than having the conversation where we discuss how much we spend annually on jewelry, manicures, handbags, shoes, etc., and how I spend far less on my hobbies and, oh, by the way I've made money on every gun I've ever bought.

Ok so this one was FDE that's your problem. Black goes with everything. Now you need new molle. A new pistol. Holster. Slings. Magazines. It isn't the NEW it's the color coordination.

Didn't you hear? OD Green is the new FDE.

Or go foliage green - stays cooler in the sun like FDE, blends in better west of the Cascades than FDE or OD.

OD or foliage green == better IMO

Never liked FDE - it isn't "dark" despite claiming to be - it is more like Light Tan Clay than Flat Dark Earth.

Dark soil (earth) is a dark chocolate brown, almost black. Just north of Salem is Lake La Bish (not a lake anymore) - the last Salem/Keizer exit. Look at that soil there. It is so rich that it is black. That is what much of the valley used to be like. At most, "dark earth" is a milk chocolate brown, not a light gray.

Agreed.

FDE on it's own is great in desert areas, but look how well a combination of FDE and Foliage Green blend in almost camo like, and how much black stands out. BTW, this was taken in my back yard in the Portland metro area.

If I went Olive Drab, I'd use Coyote or a darker earth like you suggest.

Sorry all for the massive thread drift...

We need a post-apocalyptic urban pattern with colors like charcoal and rust. We can call it "flat scorched earth".

That is an awesome idea

How do we make it happen? I'm not much of an artist.

My first thought would be pick out a few colors that are in the neighborhood of what you want. paint a "something" maybe in jungle tiger stripe with your colors , take pictures and send them into the usual suspects ..magpul, duracoat etc and see if anyone is interested.

Lol!!! You have slutty firearms in a red light, "Honeymoon Hotel!"

Here is your room key "Mr. Smith"
Like we haven't all heard that one before...
