Put Down the Airbrush and BREATHE
On the accursed pages of Wxkipedia (patooie!) you will find the lyrics to a song that became famous during World War II entitled “Bless ‘Em All.” It was, I believe, originally a soldiers’ song and the lyric was, of course, “Fuck ‘Em All” but the cleaned up version is more famous even if it makes

I’m closing and deleting my Mailchimp account. This was the thing that sent out those fun little emails when I posted something. This entire blog is a goof. It’s for fun. Like my ever-lovin’ hobby is SUPPOSED to be. I am finding that it is so very, very much more trouble than it is worth.

Our dog Freckles ate some rat poison and has been ill. We’re only “pretty sure” about the poison because we never exposed her to any kind of poison. We do not use poison. However, she is a dog who eats ANYTHING she finds laying in the road that seems edible, and even though we actually

In Return of the Jedi the “hero” Luke Skywalker does not ascend to the kingship and rule over a land, erm, galaxy of peace and prosperity (for now). No, he goes over to the Dark Side. Full stop. He joins the evil forces of darkness, kills off his two rivals (like a bad guy should)

Steam broke my Medieval Total War installation and I’m not sure I’m going to fix it. Soon. I’ve mentioned my wargaming on here before, and I mentioned that I really don’t have time for hundred-page rulebooks and endless rules-lawyer arguments. I just play games on the puter. And the greatest of these, in the eyes

‘Tis a sad, sad day for brushpainters. It seems that Testors have quit making hobby paint altogether, and blamed it on The Covid or some such… and there’s nothin’ a body can do to rise up the dearly departed. So, without Testors paint, what do we have? Well, we have Revell. Sort of. I’m not
