6mm WWII US and Germans

Uh Oh, Just Jack seems to have gone silent. Given those trews which Panda posted, Jack could be up to something. I think trouble is brooing! That one is for Ivan.

Cheers .

It just hit me!  I’ve never been here, ‘hanging out’ with you guys on a Friday night.

So this is it, eh?  Dip into our stash of animal photos and post them on TWW; testing the waters so to speak?  Youngsters can’t be far behind…

I imagine soon we’ll be reminiscing about our youth, that time with the flute at band camp.  Then we’ll move on to more re-enactment stories (you know, the ‘look how brave my great grandfather to the 12th power was’); judging by Panda’s “oh, look, Jack made a joke line” we’re apparently going to debate if Dawson’s Creek or Beverly Hills 90210 is like the best show ever.  Ultimately I’m guessing it all ends in tears about lives without worth, knowing we didn’t make a difference, we’re sorry we made that whole thing up about having a family, the admission of still living in Ma’s basement…

I just remembered why I’m not usually here on Friday nights:

“Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don’t have that problem.”

Some people need to post some AAR…….I’m looking at Rod and Panda….

[Just Jack]

I’d heard of Miniatures Collies, Dobermans, Schnauzers, etc…, but not Miniature Angus.

Panda is hot when he gets all gussied up!  Look how hard he’ll work for a little bull milk 😉

And Kyote’s right, we’ve gotten a little off topic…

V/R,
Jack

Beverly Hills was better.

I regret nothing!

[War Panda]

Jack made a joke line” we’re apparently going to debate if Dawson’s Creek or Beverly Hills 90210 is like the best show ever.

If what or what is the best show…I can only comment I’ve no idea what either one is…

But I bet you’re favourite is Dawson’s Crack …giggle

Has someone been crying in their Baby Scam again? Come on Bro…we love you man…just not in the way you want…

And Kyote’s right, we’ve gotten a little off topic…

Now was that just the most genius piece of humour ever or was Jack been serious…I can’t tell?!? Does he ever smile or laugh or I can’t tell…

Understatement is a staple of humour in English-speaking cultures. For example, in  Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life , a suburban dinner party is invaded by Death, who wears a long black cloak and carries a scythe. “Well,” says one party guest, “that’s cast rather a gloom over the evening, hasn’t it?” In another scene, an Army officer has just lost his leg. When asked how he feels, he looks down at his bloody stump and responds, “Stings a bit.”

“The great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad,
For all their wars are merry, and all their songs are sad.”

I’m just trying to keep pace with you pal …one more this century should see me over the finish line 🙂

It’s dawned on me that Canadians are the absolute worst with the “I know you are but what am I?” maneuver.

Panda speaks longingly of goats on TMP, he pulls out the “pay no attention to my dribbling pee-pee, Jack likes goats!”
Panda pulls a set of wee britches out of his closet, photos them and hangs them here.  “Look at the pants Jack owns but keeps in my closet.”
Now really, how does that work?  Look at those things, they wouldn’t even come up past my shins, and I couldn’t fit but a handful of toes in where Johnny’s cloven little hooves fit.

But keep going, whatever helps you fill the void.

V/R,
Jack

[War Panda]

While my kids watch “Titan AE” striking pain and fear into the Marine is filling the void nicely thank you very much Jack 🙂

You’ve been a pal 😀

“The great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad,

[Ivan Sorensen]

Titan AE is pretty good fun 🙂

[War Panda]

My wife Robin just said, “I’m surprised you’re not watching it, it’s like Star Wars”

So that means its not Downton Abbey, Jane Austen or Catherine Cookson

“The great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad,
For all their wars are merry, and all their songs are sad.”

[Just Jack]

“Beverly Hills was better.”

No sweat, Commie, you’re Scandinavian, it’s expected.  I imagine you during your days of conscription, standing in formation, being dismissed for the day, everyone taking off their helmets, and BAM! A full platoon with Heather Locklear hair 😉

V/R,
Jack

Over Now…Kids in chorus …”That’s was a great movie”…

BTW Rod I bought a bunch of WWI aircraft….and the rules still aren’t here but I can get by with using the WW2 tokens…looks good

Gaming talk? I’m shocked.

I ran a quickie WRG scenario on paper with the kid. He got 8 Shermans and had to root out 2 Panzers and 2 PAK.

Ended up losing half his Shermans but he came out ahead. Though I had to impress on him that moving into sight, then moving back out of sight over and over probably won’t get any Nazi’s killed 🙂

[Just Jack]

Well, Rod tapped out, Panda’s taming the bull (I’m sure tomorrow will see five ‘Jack milks bulls’ comments), The Commissar’s busy feathering his hair, and Kyote’s sleeping with his eyes open, trying to stay away from the Light, looks like it’s time to wrap it up.  You gentlemen have a wonderful remainder of your evening.

V/R,
Jack

[Ivan Sorensen]

Have a great night 🙂

Sounds great…cant wait to play with the kids

 

Good night guys 🙂

Combat! and Gilmore Girls. No regrets, no apologies. Best shows ever. Oh and Father Ted.

Jack, I think the basing this scale against a single more unified light background really works to lift the A/T gun and infantry into more recognisable pieces. In my last foray into the scale, i put textured paste on the base, inked and two toned, that some flock here and there and a couple of bushes etc.  That is what I would do for bigger scales, but it just drowned out my A/T guns and sort of made them hide amongst camo – perhaps desirable in real life, but it just doesn’t work on the table. So I like what you have done very much.

[Rod Robertson]

War Panda:

i have stumbled upon an interesting literary source which sheds some light on the whole Just Jack-goat controversy. Have a read and then comment. Jack, joo got some splaining to do!

LOL…. OH my….Rod if there was an Academy Award for posts, your post would be the winner of the “Absolute All Time Greatest” category…Brilliant!

“Jack was assigned with the task of taking care of the goat. He was delighted with that charge”

I’m sure he was 😀

“Jack named him ‘Billy’ ”

“The goat became a much needed companion for Jack”

And no one here is surprised with that statement 😀

Oh my Rod…I’m sorry but this is way TOO FUNNY…

“He shared his “tobacco” with the goat.”

“Tobacco” …yeah that’s what I heard too…he just loves sharing his “tobacco” !

“This arrangement delighted the boy and the goat, and brought much excitement to their drab existence”

My children are asking my wife “why is Daddy laughing so much…” I can hardly write…  😀

Rod my wife has called for an ambulance to take me away here but I’ll be playing “Jack’s Song ” all the way *see below

 

*This is one is going out for Jack  from Billy …”Your First Love Never Dies”

“Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, Marines don’t have that problem. Sigh…”

— Billy the goat

“The great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad,
For all their wars are merry, and all their songs are sad.”

[kyoteblue]

Guess I should do some kind of AAR….just to break up the goat kidding……

[Rod Robertson]

Kyoteblue:

I believe it was one of your posts which started the whole Jack-Goat thing off so making another might be like pouring gas on a fire perhaps.

War Panda:

Breathe man! Use a paper bag if necessary but don’t frighten the kids. They’re no doubt scarred enough from seeing you in good health. If it gets too bad have the wife put you down like a crippled horse.

Just Jack:

Those who prefer the company of goats suffer a cruel feta! Why did you give up the music and the ministry? It might have maintained some balance in your life.

Hehehe.

I don’t know about that Panda, I was killing myself laughing when you published the original “Apologies Bunny” last night. Why did you change it? The slightly blurred and oh so cute, pink bunny in a bow was the perfect counter-point to the venomous sarcasm dripping off of every word of contrition you wrote to Jack. It was a piece of art which almost caused me to wet myself, I was laughing so hard. So, I think the award will have to be shared this year.

Cheers.

[Rod Robertson]

Here is another “just” Jack from the Emerald Isle. Is it any wonder why the Irish are sensitive to the name Jack?

Cheers.

Rod Robertson.

[War Panda]

Why did you change it?

 

It disappeared <sob> after 20mins <sob> and I went to see could I get it back <sob>and <sob> said I had to become <sob> a member <sob>

I’ll try and find it<sob> again some where else and <sob> no where <sob>

I want my bunny …I mean… Jack’s bunny <waaah wah wah>

“The great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad,

[Ivan Sorensen]

It reminds them of their mothers.

[War Panda]

In Ireland its the name we sign to the toilet.

“I need to go to the Jacks”

The silly Americans got it wrong and called it a “John” like how stupid can you be?

“The great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad,
For all their wars are merry, and all their songs are sad.”

[War Panda]

Due to popular demand…

Jack’s apology bunny: (enjoy it while you can chaps it may not last long….and Jack I don’t mean like that…)

 

Edit: I can’t see the bunny any more…<sob>

“The great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad,

Damn you! Now I need some Depends! I wouldn’t want to soil the ambulance!

Ro… (I can’t stop giggling)

This is reminding me of my team meetings at the office before I quit.

Hope Jack appreciates the bloody bunny I had to convert the image and upload it to flickr…jeez
