You're right Tim, I should have phrased it as just being thankful that a nod was given to Thom's effort, and left it at that.  I'll see if I can't cruise throught the book tonight.  I can usually kill a paperback like this in a sitting.

I didn't even pick it up last night.  I spent the evening with a pin vice, some glue, and some models, then crashed.  Pretty exciting, huh?

You got about seven years on me Alpha.  Remember however, it's not the years, it's the mileage.   :D

Dang whippersnappers. In my day we didn't have pin vices and glue...I remember we used to wear onions on our belts - as it was the style of the time... When I gamed we used fingernails and teeth to clean and pin our models. As for glue, we used the powder from ground acorns and water to make a paste...when we weren't using the mix to make bread and pancakes so we could eat. That gave us the energy to walk to sdhool 40 miles, thru blizzards, uphill both ways.  Bah we didn't even use metal figs. We used corn cobs. I lost an entire army in the diaherra outbreak of aught 9. And dice - don't get me started about dice. We didn't use them. we just hit each other in the head with shovels and the first guy to flinch lost. Yes sir gaming was a man's hobby in my day.

Has Topkick always been this humorous?  I've only been around since aught four, so you old heads tell me.

I'm afraid that this is going to be a preview of our days in the Home for Old Gamers.  The good news is that we will finally have time to paint all the figures we have accumulated over the years.

You know that you will kick off once you get all your lead painted, right?  :o
