I actually had to ask someone what the significance of today is. I'm afraid if I carried around the date of the end of every little colonial war we've had, there'd be no space for anything else.

Well played! Although as colonial wars go, it was a fairly significant one

Significant? In the annals of British military history, it was a minor skirmish

You mean 'we don't talk about it because we lost...'

We lost America; but we still kicked the arses of the French, Spanish and Dutch.


Again.

We have a tank painting contest going on at the local GW shop. Submissions are due this Sat/Sun, and with the launch of a new system at work taking up a crap ton of my time, I'll be spending the 4th doing a rush completion on my Salamanders Razorback. A lot of sub-projects for it I've moved to the post-contest list - pneumatic lifters on the rear hatch, open top hatch/gunner, dragon head replacing the turret blast shield for a proper Salamanders trophy - but the drivers compartment will be 75% complete, so as long as folks just look through the front windows without pulling the bolter hatch off for a top-down view, I should be good.

There is something to be said drinking a piss water american beer on the 4th. Patriotic. I bought a 6 pack of bud, and a 12 of youngling (America’s oldest brewery if you believe the label). I’m not sure what to do with the other 5 buds I have no plans on drinking straight. I don’t think it would be too bad to use them to boil bratwurst in. Shouldn’t damage them that badly. I think all my friends have enough taste not to drink bud, but I’m not sure. I’ll toss them into the beer bucket anyway, see if I’m fishing them out at the end of the party.

I'm going to THIS

I'm excited

Work blocked.

...So it must be something awesome.

Dealing with a Hurricane, for at least half of the day, maybe more. But hopefully I can make it to the Hurricane/4th party.

Same I don't quite have the hurricane yet. But set to rain here possibly all day tomorrow ;(. Well see how the day shakes out now.

Heading to MI to spend the day with my wife's extended family, it's also my only day off for a while thanks to working two jobs

They move their Armory out of Clarksville then

Always neat to see them drive the M1 across 41

The armory is still there, at Purple Heart and 41A, however the actual motor pool for the unit is on Campbell itself

This will be the first time in YEARS the military has let me have the 4th off.

I get a full 4 day weekend off. It's awesome. I'm giddy.

Got a bit of some of the cheap standard fireworks, bottle rockets, smoke bombs, etc... simple stuff for the kids to enjoy without me breaking the bank. Got some fancy sausages and nice steaks that we're gonna grill as well. Just going to have a nice day enjoying MURICA!!!

You need to multiple that by, say, X5. Dude you are in Clarksville or near Hopkinsville. Get some BOOM!!

Or just steal a tank and park it in your back yard.

No tanks at Campbell. 101st is Light Infantry. Apache's and Kiowa Warriors they have aplenty
Being a "Air Assault" Division

There is a yard off of Market Garden full of M-1's and M-2's.

Can see death by cricket bat on Fox News soon

You need more than a cricket bat to kill him. It's difficult to squash that much crazy with only a bat.

Who says squash? Its just an adjustment to crazy that has to be given over time to get the correct crazy you want

Yeah trust me here I've met the guy. This isn't the kind of crazy you want. Now i'm thinking a hammer, few nails and some nice wooden boards. We board him up and see how long he lasts. If he turns to cannibalism we let him out, crate him up and send him to parliament.

I'm simple. Let's just water board him

Reasonably sure there are laws against that here even there aren't in the US.
No if we wanted to torture him we'd simply force him to go outside and talk to strangers everyday, maybe force him to go to a party full of people he doesn't know.

The Walmart Door Greeter job is no longer a position

Well I got plans to summon some ziggurats turn them into spirit
towers and then bake some water

I'll be going to my lgc fully dressed up, its going to be fun seeing how the soft and pudgie wargamers there react

Take pictures!

I was going to take photos of my black gray knights but if you want me to than sure, why not.

I got to here and was thinking you thought avatar was the 2nd coming of God or something (Jesus never got sex either). Maybe when I read hammer and a few nails I shouldn't think of crucifiction straight away

Oh and ribon make sure you use the time honoured female gamer distraction techniques that we read about on the boards every so often.

While always tempting to do, i don't...have the ranks, being born male and all that. But any thing for a win

You could always drop the dice ^^

Some videos of salivating awkward gamers would be fun!

See what I mean.. "I am the derailer of threads!"
