^^ LIAR!
lulz. I laughed while writing it...
**EDIT**
After sharing this story with applesnail I figured I should post it up here.
I went out tonight with a buddy to find the Bakersfield BATCAVE out on the bluffs. A place I'd found reference to and the general location of, but couldn't find anyone else who'd heard of it.
We met up around 6:00pm, and by 6:30 when we got over there and parked, it was already pitch black dark outside. I had offered to let him use my HP10 headlamp, and he was like "no thanks, I just got the most awesome headlamp, its SO bright, and it was pretty expensive".
So he showed me his 60lm petzl light he got, and I oohed and aahed over it in the appropriate fashion. He was enjoying shining it around and seeing things light up under it.
Then he says "so what'd you bring?" I pulled out my HP20 (strapped to my helmet), put my helmet on, and clipped the battery pack to my belt, and turned it on which created a BRILLIANT BEAM OF LIGHT @ ~240lm shining out across the ground, completely obscuring the light from his petzl.
He, being up-to-date on internet memes, immediately scowled at me and said "Oh...I see what you did there" D:
Then I think he got an idea, and asked which one I was *going* to let him borrow, upon which I pulled out the HP10 and my L2p, and turned them on. I could swear his facial features visibly wilted at seeing my 3 high-output LED's shining around.
I lol'd pretty good right about then, cruel as it was.
I asked if he'd still like to borrow my HP10, but he declined. And good for him!
The other memorable quote of the night. I was putting on my kneepads and clipping them to the custom quick release buckles I had sewn to my pants. He said "um, don't you think that's a little hardcore for this?"
10 minutes later as we were half-sliding down the steep section above the bluffs, and scrambling around on hands and knees above the cliff, he was yelling "DUDE, I WISH I HAD SOME KNEE PADS RIGHT ABOUT NOW!!!"
