@sundancer – even I know they are Star Wars minis! 200pts. They are quite nice figures – well posed and ‘natural’ looking. I’m sure if I was a fan I would be playing like a fiend.

You were not that late. 100pts. We are still a few regulars missing. I think we need to mount a press-gang!

@limburger – that is awesome! 1000pts. Are there many of them where you live?

I have loads of money – how much?

@mage – toy shopping…what did you get? I used to love going to the toy/model shop with my grandfather when I was really young. 500pts.

I am going to take a stroke-effected guess that your son is 5-6 now? Time certainly goes quickly. Heather sometimes freaks out at the thought of having a 26 year old daughter. Are you having a party?

“Hopefully I will have a stay-in ‘not date’ with my gf at hers tomorrow painting models and watching tv”, really? I bet you do a bit of roleplay too…naughty boy spilled the water and the strict GW manger gets to tell you off! I know about these things.

All the Steel Panther songs would get you lynched on a US college campus. I love them. Me and the boy are going…VIP tickets for a ‘meet & greet’ too! I wanted to go to Glasgow and see them, but Heather said “not a chance”. We also have tickets for the Smyths in December. It is the night before Heather breaks for xmas so I will have to get her a bit drunk! At the moment that gig is a massive ‘maybe’ depending on how I am.

My favourite lyric would be: “If I was the King I would outlaw clothes for chicks, so you could see if they sh***d their P******, or if they were hiding di**s.” That is pure genius. Fuck Shakespear.

So, they are just a new Spinal Tap, but they can really play…that is what must piss people off. The onstage chat is better than 99% of any comedy show. They were talking about picking up chicks and the guitarist said that he is 45 and still picking up girls half his age. The singer add, “Yeah, but you have been doing that since you were 20!” I was still laughing when the song started.

DS9 was still dreadful. Ferengi are just a very crude, and very vulgar, version of “space-jews”. The only thing they don’t do is say, “Oy Vay!” I am surprised nobody complained about it. The Ferengi, like the Klingons, would never have made it to the point of developing warp capability. Way too much infighting.

I just can’t read ‘fantasy’. It bores me to death – don’t know why, but it does.

First Contact is all about revenge and going too far to achieve it. In Moby Dick, Ahab ignores the pleas from another ships Captain to find his missing son, but Ahab cannot stop from finding the Whale. Picard goes way too far when he accuses Worf of being a coward for not fighting to the death. Worf replies, “If any other man had said that to me I would kill him where he stands.” Picard just tell him to get of ‘his’ bridge. Some of Picards dialogue mirrors what Ahab preaches to his crew. Maybe I just read too much into it and was very high at the time.

The book ‘Heart of Darkness’ is clearly the backbone of ‘Apocalypse Now’, but it blows it away. So well told that at times you forget that you are listening to a tale being recounted to a small gathering and you expect the death of the speaker so many times! Get a ‘classics’ copy for £3 next time you are near a Waterstones.

Bill Hicks was NOT a comedian. He made things sound funny, but if you think about it you ought to be terrified! His bit about Kennedy being murdered is outstanding. I am not sure what you read, but Bill died of pancratic cancer. The last 2 weeks of his life he said nothing. He ‘said’ that he had said everything he needed to. As for stand-up shows for TV – I doubt it, not with his material. That was why he was removed from TV when he was part of SNL or one of the other big shows. The last thng you need is people thinking abuot stuff.

I found this when I was looking for some speaker cable…

So, i’ll paint this old Wacoshop mini and you can do an Infinity figure.

I also found this:

Traitor Guard! I had about 80 of these – not all fully ‘transformed’, but quite a few had differences.
