@ceppie – one takes a test. Unless you are setting one! 100pts.
@mage – it looks like Picard is in for some loving. [Wah-wah peddle in background] He must be going ‘skiing’ and then he can be ‘Lucky Pierre’. Startfleet are a bit too inclusive if you ask me. 100pts.
Peter was crucified inverted as he was not equal to Jesus…that is the £1.99 version. So the Romans obliged. The nurse wore it under her lapel (in case she offended anyone), but I spotted it. She didn’t walk like a Satanist so I took a wild stab in the dark. Hospitals are the best place to get rid of a stiff. That is how Maddie “vanished” – medical waste or crematoria.
Speaking of the occult, I did go for a wander on wednesday night and I saw two nurses messing with Tarot cards! I wonder if it is a BUPA thing?
Unclejimmy likes a bit of game. 100pts. Rabbit A+, Hare C-, Game Birds E. Quail is nice, but there is not enough to make a sandwich…they probably just cooked a Budgie. How would I know? 100pts. Hunting is not a bad skill to have.
Judging by the size of your “pledge” you are not having any ‘dates’ this weekend! 200pts. You get an A+ for it. I did see the pictures of your bikes – much more done on them?
1. Never played any real tournament, but I have played one-off games with people like that. “You have more cover than me on that flank!” Yawn-a-thon. However, I don’t like seeing pictures from games where it looks like they have just emptied out their scatter terrain box and started playing. Wacoshop are so good at doing this. I tend to be unphased by my lack of terrain or cover. “Adapt-Improvise-Overcome” are the rules of the battlefield. The Zulu’s didn’t mind a lack of cover and they still kept coming.
I wouldn’t mind doing a ‘Zulu’ (the film) styled game.
2. Wacoshop doesn’t allow conversion much anymore. That sucks. Even adding a few grenades or purity seals makes a huge difference. 300pts. I do love the starter-sets from CB. They are all in – it is how we started. Dave had 2nd edition, but when BoW did the week of videos of the first set we dived right in. They rule.
I loved the Wacoshop ‘Black Reach’ set. The Ork copters were amazing.
3. My dad loves Moorcock. I could never quite get into him. However, I love Jerry Cornelius! What a hero. 500pts. We used to play the Elric RPG too.
LotR suck as a book and a movie. Too convoluted. Just like Stephen King. I saw a post by @sundancer who was looking at some Vietnam boats and mentioned Apocalypse Now. ‘Heart of Darkness’ is what AN was based on and is one of my favourite books. The scene where Kurtz says, “The horror, the horror.” makes more sense than the same scene in the book. However, it does make that scene in the book a little more disturbing. It’s all that existential pish.
Moby Dick with Gregory Peck is awesome. The version with Picard as Ahab is pretty good too. Then again, ‘First Contact’ is Moby Dick…just in space. One of the best ST movies too.
If you want to turn this into one of those trendy “book groups” then we could give it a try. Your first 2000 word essay is due next week! However, it will be a fashion book about flying kites over Chenobyl, or something equally painful.
4. Rik and Ade will become the next Laurel & Hardy. Jamie loves them. He used to watch ‘Bottom’ when he was at my parents and love it. That is what they will be considered in another 30-40 years. 5000pts. They rule as a double act. Steptoe and Son were genius on the stage/screen – their dyanmic is amazing. The Two Ronnies when I was younger – my grandparents loved them and I just absorbed it. That was how I ‘discovered’ oldie comedy. If you want real funny then you have to study the works of 1970’s UK Club comedians. Genius. Not PC. However, that is WHY it is funny.
Jim Jefferies is a massive dick. Did you see the stitch-up interview he ‘created’ to make someone look like a nazi? He WAS funny. I saw him live about 5 years ago and he was pretty good. I also saw, and met, Bill Hicks. It still pains me to think that he is not here.
If you want written comedy then you have to read stuff by Spike Milligan. I would suggest his audio version of the book ‘Puckoon’. The story of an Irish town divided by the newly draw border. Pure class. His war stories are brilliant.
Billy Ray Cyrus was the star of the TV show Bill was writing. Each week they hunt him down! The TV studio asked, “Will there be titty?” and Bill said he would do a re-write.
Motley Crue! Fuck yeah. 5000pts. We got tickets to see Steel Panther next February too.
Never been a Metallica fan. Some great songs, but they are just coasters now.
Danzig – awesome. Seen them live 3 times. Very heavy…in fact their records are so heavy you can’t get them off the turntable.
I also found a Wacoshop mini to paint for your challenge. I will post a pic when I find the cable. I had to take everything from my desk to remove the amplifier. I found a great mini-amp on Ebay – it even plays from memory cards, has a radio and bluetooth!
