I remember that head. Never heard it called a Carmen Miranda head before though. I have to say, that is some interesting 'fruit' you've got on that hat! :D

it's the first thing I thought of when I saw it. I'm old enough to remember her, loved seeing Daffy Duck dress up like her as well! Mind you I hated it at first which is why I didn't use it. Then a friend of mine showed ne the three, all different, Bone Giants he owns and one had that head. I was a convert. Of course by then the head was missing... I just primed it and will be repainting the mini.
 
...well, not tomorrow, but soon, I may have to remove a built-in shelf unit I installed. We've been in this house for 13 years. I closed up a second entry into our laundry room and put a 15 foot long shelf in front of it, with built in shelving below, for board games and stuff.

Only...

I suddenly had a brain fart and realized what the doorway I closed up was for. It was so people could bring appliances into and out of the laundry room without having to, say, remove the laundry utility tub first. You would think I would have figured this out before now, since this is now the 6th appliance we've had to move into or out of that room, but noooooooo... and to make matters more annoying, the drain line from the furnace dehumidifier pump is now attached to that washtub... oy... :facepalm:

That is painful. Hopefully you can make it removable if you... when you have to do it again.

I am debating if I want to go through the work. There is storage shelving on the laundry-room side of the wall full of stuff I'm storing for a friend who lost his house during COVID lockdowns...

When homeownership is concerned? Yeah, happens annoyingly frequently. :meh:

Pauper is a ton of fun!
 
It's been a lot of Lord of the Rings, lately. Just did two games of MESBG at a friend's place (Weathertop scenario and a pitched battle between Rohan and Angmar), followed by 3 hours of playing co-op with my opponent in Return to Moria. To be clear, it's about the closest he can to play his dwarfs from the Kingdom of Khazadum these days, as they don't have tabletop rules in the new edition thus far.

not a great fan of it.
It feels kinda like a different game
Click to expand...
It is a different game. I can't keep chasing standard or modern or whatever they are calling the different styles of play now. My friends will play with any cards you own are good, just don't be a jerk. I only play turbo stasis a few times a years . Commander was the only way otherwise I could use all my cards outside of my circle of friends. I get why others don't care for it as it isn't for everyone.

That's basically my approach to the game!

That's a good call. I got tired of people with nee powerful cards that were highly tuned complaining about my old decks that are much slower but have some powerful cards. Sorry I have played for decades? My bad for being old? Better to be around happy people and be happy. Weird how that's same I feel about wargaming...
 
Ah, I am committing Lego-related... heresy, I guess? A friend and I are playing a new game called "Is this Not-Lego any good?" Basically, we're buying interesting looking building brick sets from companies that are NOT Lego, and comparing them to Lego. If people request, I can make a topic about my results under the "not hobby-related" heading. So far, I just finished testing company #3. Results are promising.
 
I keep forgetting that the patent on Lego bricks has expired and opened the door for alternative companies.

The important question is... Are they just as painful to step on?

No, the important question is, "how likely are they to break when you inevitably suffer nerve damage from stepping on one?" :meh:

Are they as obscenely costly? I kept my old Lego sets from when I was a kid for my kids and when I mentioned them a few collectors I know got excited and tried to get me to sell them. I play wargames people! We don't sell unless forced to. My youngest is just getting old enough to play with them so he'll be getting them. If I can get blocks for cheap I can help him play but Lego cost way too much for what you get, IMO.
