Well, just spent six hours painting a single Merc, and he's not even done yet.

And this is relevant how? Because I was watching that particular movie last night and it struck my fancy. Not a comment on anything, mind you. It just struck. My. Fancy.

After looking through the Gilbert & Sullivan archives for a song that best fit the mood for a scene I plan to write eventually (I decided on the opening chorus to "The Pirates of Penzance"), I now have read more material about them and their operettas than I particularly cared to (don't get me wrong, they wrote some amazingly witty plays. I'm just not particularly interested in background material).
Also, it is indeed a glorious thing to be a pirate king.

"Geordie, if I leave it to you to find me a wife you'll find me a fan of light opera."
"There's nothing wrong with that."
"There is everything wrong with that, Geordie."

The only ones I've seen were Pirates of Penzance and HMS Pinafore, and the latter is the only one that I've seen or listened to multiple times.
Waiting on more of the All-Guardsmen-Party series, and found some other recaps (of DnD) by the same author that are just as hilarious. Like the campaign antagonist whose only gimmick is that he always - always - escapes, because he's maxed out in escape skills like running and hiding. Stuff like starting a gold rush, then leaving town just as a red dragon turns up to extort the newly wealthy village.

I had an interesting time playing dnd 5th the other night, id pissed off the DM earlier in the day... We rescued a woman, her teenage daughter and son from a prison cell... I suggested putting the teen in assless chaps for more party moral (jokingly, we mostly play ooc describing what our characters do as opposed to speaking ic) so the DM was like "ok, the woman slaps you, roll a d4" so I took 1 damage and I was like "pff, fine il punch her then!!" Not meaning it! He said "right, roll a fornicateing dice then!" We laughed a bit, I gave in and rolled... A fornicateING 20!!! I crit her for 6 damage... she had 4hp...then we panicked and cast sleep on the kids and dumped them in some forest. I lost a lot of xp, being a good align.
In the end we got him to change his mind and he said fine, she was unconcious and you can heal her... but then on the way out of the place she fell into a pit, hahaha!!

And this is why you don't slap armed men.

So today this happened: Attachment Deleted*Lethal Weapon 2 SA Diplomat voice* "But... You're blek." 2 TIE Pilots, a Shadow Trooper, and a Shadow Scout Trooper. All of the 6" Black Series variety (the Shadow Trooper/Scout Trooper (with Speeder Bike) arrived yesterday). Attachment DeletedI acquired a second 6" Black Series TIE Pilot and did a custom paint scheme on his helmet following the 501st Legion's TIE Pilot Helmet Guide. I need two more TIE Pilots to apply custom helmet schemes to, and then I should have all of the canon helmet variants.

Well, I spent my day today crunching numbers on how much it would cost advertisers to finance a comics magazine I've been thinking about but mostly dismissed as a pipe dream. Turns out that it's quite a bit more realistic than I had anticipated (my original figures had been multiplied by a factor of ten because I'm stupid; the new figures have corrected this error). Making some reasonable assumptions based on industry standards and running with the permutations, I might be close to having something to pitch.
Who knows? In six months, I might be the editor of a comics magazine.

Oh, yes. I'm a little disturbed at the ending, because it knocked me back into the grimdark 40K milieu when before it was closer to the Commissar Cain treatment. Still very funny, and I always smile whenever the line "So no s..., there we were," appears.

Dettol as a acrylic stripper seems to be successful.
Also, I am in need of some new human heads to further individualize my army. Suggestions, please.

Killing them is effort enough. Miniaturization is too much effort for my enemies.

today,
and in fact for many days now since christmas,
My life has been given the darth vader sound track by my 4 year old who received lego star wars as a gift.
Darth Vader is the best it would appear; for he is a baddy!
They have 'whooming swords' which they swish around at each other and last night my partner was looking up space ships to find the names of them:
"is it a tie interceptor, should we get one?" is not a question I thought I'd get asked by her. ever.
We have watched episode 1. pod racing is fun. (staying positive here). We also watched episode 4 which is equally hammy but in a much better way (I love the bouncing pilot seats during the torpedo attack).
It is hard to restrain my issues with SW, however, as entertainment for my 4 year old they work fine, and they inspired many cool things!

Original Star Wars was great because of its faults. It was always just a fun space opera to distract people, you know, what movies are supposed to be. Not like everything that comes out now that just tries to be the most visually stunning piece of artwork draped on a story that either mimics something older, or is thin to non-existent. Or tries to sell you toys.
