STREBLO!

I want a woman to fondle a lobster's nuts with my hand.

What?

A girl walked into the store and asked the Red Shirt guy "is there beer pong here?"
'
Another one here.

A little kid started speaking Arabic in the store, and this US marine in the store turned around and tackled the kid. Best moment ever!

How I wish this would happen in our store!

Best part was it was a New player that got tackled XD.

What? Why did he tackle him? For knowing another language?




Meanwhile, my mates and I were just out of highschool and playing Necromunda around at this new guy’s house, and my mate looked out the window to see a couple of guys in suits getting off of bicycles, “don’t look now,’ he says, ‘but there’s Mormons outside’.

The new kid replies, ‘I know, that’s my brother. We are Mormons.’

The most awkard moment I had in gaming was when I was a Military Policeman at Fort Bragg, NC in the late 90's. I was at my FLGS for a 1500 point 40K tournament and I went to go to turn in my list to the tournament judge. To my suprise the tournament judge was a guy that I pulled over and arrested a couple days back for doing a 75 MPH in a 25 MPH housing area when school was letting out and having 250 grams of weed in his pocket. So now he was the judge of the 40K tournament I was in minus his car (conficated), his weed (conficated), and the not so happy owner of about $1000 worth of traffic tickets and a couple court dates.

So, a awkard moment when I handed him my ten spot for my entry. A very long tournament, lost fair and square. He came up to me and thanked me for stopping him, that he wasn't mad because he had a drug habit and that was a wake up call for him. With a sigh, I shook his hand and returned for the next month's tournament.

yeah.......pics or it didn't happen.

this sounds like something my 12 year old cousin would make up so I would think he is funnier/cooler...and besides, that would be assault on a minor/assault, assault and battery, a hate crime, and if he WAS a marine, he could get court marshaled.

My most awkward moment would be during a mega battle, i had shaved my head a day before the game (and i get told i look like some neo nazi when i do, dont know why) and i was playing my dark eldar. During the first turns i had captured some tau and imperial guardsmen. When the host ask hows everybody's status, i said i have 13 slaves out loud and cheerfully as some mother comes in, looks at me oddly and walked off.

Sitting at the bar after the first day of a GT, right after Dark Eldar came out. Someone asked me if I had faced a DE army yet. I say no. Guy a few seats down turns around and reminds me that I played against his Dark Eldar earlier that day, wiping them off the board in about 3 1/2 turns. Doh!! Bought him a beer to make up for my lack of memory.

I once played against a kid in a tournament who'd brought along his own illiterate badly typed made up rules, and then had a tantrum when I refused to follow them. Apparently I was cheating.

Probably when killed a Vampire Lord with a cannonball turn 2. The guy looked like he was either going to cry, smash his army, or smash me in the face. I offered to start the game over, but he wasn't having any of it. I think he left the tourney after our game.

Either that or when this guy cried after a game he had just lost.

I know I've told this story on here before, but I used to have two identical hard-sided, foam-lined rifle cases - one that I used to transport my miniatures, and the other that I used to store a particularly evil-looking SKS rifle with bipod, flash hider, 4X scope and 50-round "banana clip" magazine...

I got in a hurry to get to the store for a game one day, picked up the wrong case, threw it up on the gaming table and opened it up to unpack my army in front of my opponent, the regular crew, and umpteen million little ankle-biters that liked to hang around the tables and watch...

Yeah, it was the SKS. My opponent gave me a shocked look, the regulars started giggling at me, and the kids' eyes got really, REALLY big.

Thankfully the owner knew me really well and was a great guy - he just laughed it off and told me to be more careful in the future. Thank you, FLGS! If that'd been a GW store, I'd still be rotting in jail!

New (annoying as HELL) guy at our FLGS was watching a game of my IG vs. a buddies Tau. He plays Tau as well so he was sitting on that side (thank you merciful God). I wound a broadside and my buddy gets out a micro dice to mark the wound on it's base. The guy picks up the die and says:

"Wow, this is a really small dice! I don't have an orifice on my body that I couldn't put this in!"

Dead silence in a room of 25 or so gamers ensues.

Trying to explain to fiance that a) i am not obsessed with warhammer 40k.
b) it's not just a game for spotty teenagers
c) i'm not an uber geek.

Trying to convince oneself of this first....

I gave up along time ago. Anyway you look at it we play with little toy soldiers.

My FLGS actually had two very recent ones. Both times were when someone lost his army or lost in one turn. The first time, I was playing a silly Wolf Guard list (1250 points, running 13 total models - Logan, 10 WG, and 2 Land Raiders) vs. a Necron player who was trying to diversify with his units, running a couple full squads of Warriors, a handful of Destroyers, and a monolith. On turn 2, one of my Land Raiders made it to his side of the field, unloaded 5 Wolf Guard with Logan, and charged into a blob of Necrons. They killed 8, the 'crons failed leadership, and ran off the board edge. Half his army gone in one move. He actually slapped a bunch of models across the table in anger (My own models, though they were plastic and glued with Testors cement so no damage done).

The other one was during the league night, where the resident Dark Eldar player went up against the owner, another Necron player, in an apocalypse game. He left most of his units in reserve (I think he was running the Monolith Phalanx, but I have no idea) and the Dark Eldar player forced a phase-out on turn one by dropping his Splinter Raid Force in and firing enough lasers to bring the Necrons to 25% remaining models on the board. Nobody talked about it for a long time, and the DE player ended up leaving early because of what happened.

Too bad Phase Out doesn't work that way...

QFT.



And seriously, the owner got pissy because he lost a game of mandollies? Not very professional IMO.

I could see this happening very easy, especially if he got back from a combat zone recently. The instincts don't just vanish, overnight, or in a short manner of time anyway. You have no idea, what that man has been through. I've seen much worse cases of PTSD happen, from far less provation.


But, on to my worst moment. It was when the store acutually kicked a guy out for not showering, and smelling up the place. It was bad, because at first the guy refused to leave, so the store manager got angry, and was shouting, and pretty much tearing the guy down in front of everyone. No one was playing in games at the time, since we could only stare. I never saw that guy again.

Except the marine would have seen a lot of Arabic while he was over there, and his instinct wouldn't have been to tackle a dude every time he heard it. And how is talking another language be provocation?

And no kid seeing a grown man tackle a kid in the middle of a store is going to think that's cool, it'd be a pretty messed up thing to see, even if the marine's reaction is understandable it'd be a confronting thing to see him wig out like that. Nah, I think our friend has shot his mouth off, making up a story he thinks his cool, but hadn't really thought through.

It depends greatly on what the Arabic kid said. Most people who think nobody will understand will say some pretty stupid things. I am white but understand Spanish. I work construction and hear a good bit of this going on. If the kid was being stupid and talking crap it might have been provoked. Unwittingly probably, but still.

So every person he encountered wherever he was was either killed or tackled by him? They talk to locals all the time man....his training is probably more hard-wired into him than his alleged PTSD is anyway...

tackling children? please...

I don't think you know too many 12 year old kids....

....and yes I agree



I dunno if this is awkward...but I had a nice callous of superglue on my thumb while at my FLGS, and you lot might know, maybe not, but you cant feel much when your fingers have that layer of glue on them....well, I was sitting there...gluing some massive metal model (this is when I still played Orks...) and I was holding the peices...for about 15 minutes....well....needless to say my hand did not release from the model when I wanted it to...it was glued....baadd.

This was a long time ago, about 12 years, so I was 11 or 12, my parents had dropped me off with a friend, and I had to go ask one of the employees for help, then followed a very carefull exacto knife extraction which lost me a few layers of skin...the guy did a great job, though. He told me to make sure I told my parents, and when I did, they flipped, but my friend and I, heartily defending our FLGS, had his back...and all was well...that was scary...I have since glued myself again...but never that badly....

I've had various bits of models stuck to me when i use superglue.

Worst time was when i was supurgluing a meltal bits on to a tank, my 5year old nephew (is that how its spelt?) barells into the romm jumps on my back the super glue flys into the air from my hand,lands on my face just before my head hits my desk from this unexpected happening.
Metal bits stuck to my face.

But after peeling them off it looked like some cool battle scars or something.

Your superglue story was good... but not as good as Cheese Elemental's...



That crazy kid superglued some imperial guardsmen to his pecker.

Pecker as in nose or the one lower down....

It was Cheese... Do you really need to ask?

No i guess not!

When I worked for GW we had a new guy come in with his models ready for a paint lesson. He showed me his models (since I was the resident paint guru) he'd assembled. First, thing I noticed was the slotta basses were upside down. No biggy, newb mistake... then I noticed some sort of flakes stuck all over the models. I asked what they were. His reply? Skin!!! He'd superglued himself to them multiple times!

GROSS!

Luckily his little sister came in with him and wanted a demo game as well. I went to the back where my coworker was having lunch and gave him the choice: Paint lesson or demo game with little girl. He thought he was getting a bargain when he chose paint lesson. It took me 5 mins to run through a demo with the girl and he was sitting with this annoying idiot (he was later banned from the store for being so stupid/annoying) for about an hour trying to paint his Skin Marines. LOL
