Anyone done a Call of Cthulhu/40k mash up?
Use it as an apoc stand-if for a Daemon-influenced Titan.

I'm in the you're asking her? crowd. I just spent 185 dollars on mythicast.com thunderwolves, came home from work, said Hey babe, I love you, she looked at me and said what happened? I said I spent 185 dollars on resin thingies, she threw a pillow at me.... then I said, Can you get me some juice? She walked to the fridge and poured a glass of juice for me. I make the money in our house, I pretend to handle the bills in our house, I blo money that doesn't exist in our house, she stays at home. Simple for us  good luck with CThulu

Say you need it for a science experiment so the experiment doesn't turn into an unstable nuclear reactor that will most likely explode and cause china syndrome which then kills everyone and destroys the entire planet.
Works in my house but then again we are on washing machine 19 and we have several power generators that look like washing machines.

It really depends on how much extra money the two of you have in the first place. Honestly my husband and I just had a conversation about money where neither of us are going to be able to afford anything "fun" for quite a while. Which sucks as we each barely have 1000 points of minis to start playing WHFB soon.

$40 doesn't seem like a whole lot to me though so that shouldn't be to much of an issue.. And this is coming from someone who is flat broke and had to move back in with their 'rents.

I feel your pain... My mother tried playing card games with me once. Then her ex boyfriend did.
Needless to say they both were incredibly dumb and kept arguing with me about the rules.
Parents+gaming=fail.
@Avenger I can do what every I want this is the interwebz there are no rules or laws on the interwebz<sarcasm>.

Fortunately, now that the Great Cthulhu is a TV star on South Park, it will be obvious why the statue is needed.

So, is it your money, or is it the marriage's money?
A married couple really needs to set aside rules for this kind of thing at the beginning.
Agree to have a certain percent or perhaps just a certain amount a month dedicated to the marriage, and a certain percent/amount dedicated to your own personal spending.

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.
