Hmmmmmm I found "Troop of Kangaroos" on Wikipedia... Mob does sound more Aussie.

But I don't think it fits Pentaxians... Maybe "a Mob of Canoniers" but never "a Mob of Pentaxians."

They should be called "The Wild Bunch" as in the movie about an aging outlaw gang at the Texas-Mexico border trying to exist in the modern world (dominated by Canon and Nikon).

Its funny how some words mean different things to diferent people,
to me "mob" implies an irreverence, a non-compliance to orderly rule, a toughness, loyalty to a group or common cause without blind faith and an individuality within.

But, I certainly understand that in other parts of the world "The Mob" has a very different connotation.....
(I can hear the hush whispered tones now as the Pentax group walk down a street......"there goes the Pentax Mob"

)

Yes, a little like the Wild Bunch.

I love it!

We could all buy Harleys and grow beards (well the blokes anyway... hopefully not the Sheilas) and get Pentax tattoos and ride around with a skeletonized K1000 with wings embroidered on the back of our leather jackets.

Mike

p.s. ohhhh, and have turf wars with those sissy Canon guys in their minivans and the Nikon guys on their scooters.

p.p.s. also, did not mean that MOB was Aussie... just that MOB sounds like something an Aussie would call a bunch of bloody roos. I love you guys and was supposed to get posted to Alice Springs at one point in my Air Force career. Unfortunately they cancelled the assignment and sent me off to the Azores instead. I never did figure out who I pissed off to deserve that.!

p.p.p.s. no insult intended to the Azores either. Just that Terceira is a far cry from the Outback...

I could get like a fake ZZ Top type one? Some old Yamaha, maybe? And maybe like a tatt of a 6x7 that says 'Mom' above it?

A pentafold of Pentaxians.
A smart of Pentaxians.
A penlight of Pentaxians.
A parsnip of Pentaxians (not very common, but a choice that is good for you)

Sounds like a cool idea! However, I'm a little creaky for that at my current stage of life. But, it appeals to the 20 year old guy that lives inside me!

Well if we are doing this Aussie style,then maybe it should be "A fair dinkum mob of bloody Pentax blokes and shielas"
