A friend passed this on to me today . . I know, I know, not quite the same hobby exactly but . . . They do mention the painting bits

Good Grief Auntie Beeb has joined the Twentieth Century at last!

This didn\'t speak to anyone but the three of us eh?

Now look, as a new SENIOR Member, I ORDER you to respond to this topic! lol

What, that\'s not a benefit of Senior membership? oh.

Paints us in a not too far out there light. We almost seem normal in that article. Boy would that fool the general public.

I think Mr. McNeil summed up most of us in one sentence: \"I guess we could be accused of being a bit nerdy but, hey, we just enjoy what we do.\" Darn tootin\'!lollollollol

Wow! Nearly positive coverage! And not a single reference to a slightly odd odor!:flip: (though, perhaps \"historical\" gamers are slightly different in that area)

PS - Flashman sorry in being so tardy in response to your ORDER. I was out sick:|~ and... uh... the dog ate my, uh, homoework.

 

[DennisMech]

ah...the musty wise smell of the historical gamer....the peculiar whiff of paint smell of a mini painter...and the sweaty stench of a trekie...

Is that MR. Flashman14 now?

Congrats on the extra star and the well deserved \"senior\" title.

Just think, the next time your title changes, you will be a bon-a-fide POSTING FREAK. Kind of makes you wonder where the time goes...

No, seriously, Where the hell is all this time going?????

Ha! Thanks SV . . Aye - hard to believe I\'m only half way to Posting Freak . . . ugh :|~

It\'s . . TOO much . . . I . . . Can\'t. take it anymore!

I got about 70 more minis to post to fill my slots there, 500 forum posts to go to earn posting freak, about 3000 more votes to cast, and about 18,700 comments to leave.

Has anyone achieved ALL that? - the 18,700 comments is the really daunting one . . . .<sigh>
