Remember that one definition of \"adolescence\" is \"a stage of development (as of a language or culture) prior to maturity.\" So I suspect that there are a few 40+ adolesents out there. ;)

I had this green thing shoot up in front of my house. (I believe I planted it last year only it wasn\'t so tall back then.) Four feet of green growth and only recently did it decide to flower. ...

Ral Partha 03-070 Female Cleric - Can also be painted to look like a nun. Odd kung fu like pose but weaponless.

I would like to thank a sniper as well.

For a long time I was looking at my list of minis on CMON and it was my group of painted furnature that had the highest score. (5.9 to be exact.) I...

I submitted my suggestion. :D

Being a Gilbert and Sullivan fan I proposed Yum Yum.
(Wouldn\'t you want to have her as your daughter in law if you were the Emperor of Japan?)

I have some preemptive cures (after drinking and before going to sleep)...

Having never been to France I have to say that I also love snails and frogs. I once shocked my parents when I was a kid by ordering frogs legs at a local resturant. Although I have had frogs legs...

What would I love to see in a mineatures line?

Knights of Columbus.

Those are guys dressed with swords, capes feathered chapeaus and tuxes. I happen to be one but the only thing I\'ve seen so...

Clearly the stupidest name is this guy named \"TZOR.\" I mean it\'s a four letter word that isn\'t even a word. I bet he\'s never been there. I bet he never even knew of the place before he gave...

First of all, I want to make one thing perfectly clear ...
I love food!
(With the possible exception of peanuts which I am alergic to. I don\'t love getting a reaction.)

So while I\'m sure...

Skavens are rats.
Rats remind me of Lankhmar.
I loved the old Lankhmar AD&D scenario.
One of these days, I have to assemble and paint the skaven unit I recently purchased.

Now I need to find an...

Well for common \"uncommon\" meats I tend to eat a lot of leg of lamb. Long Island still has a duck industry (although it has shrunk considerably since the last century) and the farms will sell duck...

Consider the internet the \"information highway.\" Now ask yourself the...

Anyway HAPPY MOTHERS DAY and to all MOTHERS who are NURSES, or NURSES who are...

Let\'s recap the CMON process for a moment. You take a mini. You take a mini that you have just painted; that...
