Pledge: Finish off some teams for my FLGS to use as starter games. I’ll also be finishing off my 2nd ed. team.

Question: Pfft! 3 weeks of shopping? That’s an amatuer’s calendar. When you start the clock with 364 (5 in leap year) you know what kind of game you’re playing in. Its just like Carneval for Rio de Janeiro, you get this year’s production done and start on the plans for the next. It normally takes into account shit hitting the fan around June as its too damn hot to think as your tenders are soaked in the sweat of weakness and desperation while you debate life choices come December. Giftmas is a time when even the currents of the underworld get a little twitchy. For as threatening as the answering service in the John Wick universe may look you haven’t seen anything like an angry elf, hopped up on eggnog and cocaine, that has been told her 12 hour shift is extended after answering the desperate calls of parents trying to get in touch with The Big Guy. Tinsel can be lethal, felt and sequin outfits hide the glint of carefully hidden steel, and candy canes…. well.. you can just imagine.

All of this is the reason I do my shopping early and afford the time to sit on my butt worry free for part of the year.

Now since I’ve messed with some people’s heads as of late I’ll just pull something a bit more humorous
