As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.

I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

I was looking around for an interesting background and happened to have these in a box on a shelf. It is nice to work in a place where this is considered normal.

Totally non compliant today. A buddy came over last night and I subsequently woke up both hung over and late, so I threw on yesterday's watch.

The "Best of Christopher Walken" SNL DVD is amazing. If you haven't seen him "pranking" people, I highly recommend it.

My god can Walken be hilarious. Anyways, shout out to all you stiffly stiffersons not complying! I got something for ya!

No worries, Bruv. I think the Legion is a pretty forgiving group. For my part, I was also non-compliant as I wanted to wear one of my new acquisitions. Just thinking about compliance for Thursdays, my recommendation for NATOs is CHEAPEST NATO STRAPS for the best bang per buck, quid, euro, or shekel. But another option is this $1.10 NATO strap reviewed here by Boston Charlie. Tough to beat that price!

Wearing my new Codek. I am not sure if I shouldn’t have ordered the blue though. This does diversify my watchbox a bit, so it seems a good addition.

I do like all of the little details on the watch though and it does feel slightly toolish. I may need to put it on a bracelet though.

I'm sure that there is an exemption for you in the rules as the creator of this thread and leader of our legion. 8-)

Universal compliance today with the Citizen BM8180-03E that I purchased from the HUISABH thread. This thing really is a little gem. On black Barton canvas. Image

Tap. Talk. Buy a watch. Repeat.

I really do love mine, and it is a long term keeper for me. On my list of things to do is to upgrade the crystal to sapphire and brush the whole case again.
