Calling in Sick

Man if your calling in sick, just say your sick and unavailable to work today. There is no need to talk to me directly. A voice message or email is perfectly OK. I don’t need some bullshit story, sick voice, coughing in my ear, nor do I need to know what meds you have taken or what time your doctor’s visit is. We give ya all sick time for a reason.

There is sick and then there is sick. I am sick cause I want to stay home. I am sick cause I am actually sick. Cool, great, either way I don’t care. I must likely will not even fill out the paper work saying your sick.

The only time I would even ever pay attention is if you always call in on Friday or Monday, after the super bowl/ST. Pat’s day, before or after a holiday weekend. Don’t create a pattern. Don’t call in all the time. No one will know, no one cares!

Thursday Night Gaming

This time we were at Pat’s house for a game of Force on Force. George and Fred showed up. Both Jimmy and Larry had to cancel. We played the first demo off of page 112. With all of us playing the same game, I doubled the forces and the size of the table. Fred and George took the USMC fire teams. Pat and I were Hadji. We did screw up and Hadji was re-enforced after the first turn.
Quick game, we were done before 9. The USMC team kick the ever living crap out of Pat and myself. Even with Fred being trashed before the first turn ended.

The night’s greatest moment was when George’s dice throw completely missed everything, the tray and the table. The dice tray was against his belly!

We ate and drank more than we played. Which again leads to zero pictures.

Force on Force

Today some Stan Johansen miniatures 20mm Jihad came. They are just over a dollar a dude. Trucks with skinnies are 8 beans. Great deal. The guy ships the same day as you order. I had mine in my mail box the next day. Very clean casts. Mine had only heavy mold lines on the bottom.

Here you can see a picture next to a 1/72 Caesar’s mini. The Caesar’s look taller in the picture, but it is not true. The base of the plastics are much thicker. Which serves me just fine as, in my experience Africians are taller than us and we are taller than Hadji.
Again I am mounting them to nickles, 5 cents for a heavy base can’t be beat. Next the base will be filled in with pink stuff and off to be primed.

What I like most about Stan Johansen’s minis are that they look just like the Syrian fighters CNN loves to take pictures of. Just about all are shooting from the hip and none seem to display a proper firing position.

Some WIPs of plastics I am chipping away at.

40k Epic

I continue to add to the Blood Angles as I find the older editions of armor. The older ones of course take twice the amount of time to complete. As each is covered with all sorts of baggage. These edition of armor does not fit with the lighting strike and air cav type deployment of the SM chapters. But they will do nicely for Armageddon/Ork slug fest.

A couple of Razorbacks and Vindicators. I had stamp cast the blood drops. Most every tank now has one for each door. I have also started to mount them to FOW bases. I saw someone else do it. So of course I had to.

Screwed again

Its 10:30 and nothing is happening. Nothing has happened for over an hour. Pour yourself a glass of some limited crap, grab a book, and collapse into a chair by the fire. Then every MoFo within 200 miles has got to try and retask your ass.
I now understand why the news is filled with people killin everyone.
