A Winnipeg physician (84 year old) arranged for someone trying to con him into coming to Winnipeg where the con man was arrested.  Sadly he had already “invested” a fair bit of money into the scheme . . . .

@JWW:

That is wonderful news! Congrats!

This will be the most important job you have ever had.

Yeah, I bet all his other kids feel just gr8 about that statement.

Well, the “Users online” tracking shows the last 15 minutes of activity, so I am assuming that it was over a span of 15 minutes.

I was online during that couple of days when each guest page view counted as a unique hit (it was annoying to see who was online during that), so i am making an educated guess about the cause.

A couple of other experiences that will give you some “pucker factor”…

Side-seating in a T-41 Mescalero when Air Traffic Control screws up and sends a Boeing 767 into your flight path at your altitude (I had the yoke in my crotch as the Major I was sitting next to ripped it back… I was close enough to see the passengers in the windows of the 767…

Nav Training in a Boeing T-43A and watching the Colorado landscape go by on ground radar, and hearing from the T-43 in front of us that there was a T-41 180 degrees our heading and 300 hundred feet below us… then seeing a green swath fill half of the ground radar as that T-41 passed beneath us close enough to block almost all of the radar…

Commercial Flight Denver to Pittsburgh on US Air, watching rivets come out of the wing in flight… (you don;t actually see the rivet come out, you just see the skin vibrating with the rivet loose, and then there is no rivet…)

decisive confederate victory  :-(

More power to you guys for being able to play Fantasy baseball.  I have an arduous task every year running Fantasy football, and that’s once a week.  I don’t know how you do it, but I do admire your dedication.

Theres millions of ideas out there. I call my platoon my Mates, Dawgz, Niggaz, Homes, Bros, Battlebuddys, Dudes, Bitches, KAC (KickAssCrew) etc.

But for a gaming club, I think “Tabletop Nerds” might be appropriate.

62% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

bit funny to me.

I was born in VA but left before I learned to talk.  Florida and CA for my elementary years.  VA and CA for high school.

When I wander down south I find myself using the local lingo in about 72 hours.  Otherwise I tend more toward a midwest dialect.

It’s a realy basic map of Stalingrad, but it way beter than the maps that come with the minis.

Nothing much significant…other than Prozac being allowed for sale in the U.S; Klaus Barbie being sentenced, Trials for the Iran-Contra scandal, and an attack on a U.S. frigate by So-Damn-Insane.

That year must’ve been pretty boring…hence I came around.

@ezto:

@ncscswitch:

Aggressive Russia means you still take Africa, still clear the Med, AND take out the Russian advance forces.  Then re-group in G2 for further advances against a Russia depleted of offensive units.

This comes from the guy who uses a game board :lol:

And who has a nearly 70% win rate, including a perfect win record against Ezto in Revised  :wink:

@Mechanized:

roflcopters!!  Funny stuff.  What comic is that BTW?

It’s “Get Fuzzy”.  Frood’s a big fan.  His avatar is the dog.

Oh the humanity! HOW DARE YOU KILL THE CAP!!!

We can’t leave the world in the hands of his Canadian dopelganger Captain Canok, hes got butterfingers!!

Actually, DL, you make a good point there.  I just tend to at least hear people out when it comes to “rumor-mill” type news.  I was just trying to see if anyone else had heard the same thing.

Oh, and good job on calling my Big Lebowski reference, dezrtfish.  :wink:

Sounds like a great idea for getting rid of your wife. :lol:

Can’t help myself …

A young girl is sitting on the edge of a cliff, crying. A man sees her, and, of course, goes to see what is wrong.
“Hey, what’s the matter?” The girl sniffs and looks up.
“My dad just drove the car over the cliff, and now he’s dead!”
“Oh!” Says the man, “that’s terrible. But what about your mother?”
“She was in the car too! I have no-one to look after me!”
The man unbuckles his belt and starts to pull down his trousers.
“Really not your lucky day, is it?”

Well when I say out, I mean yo ucan already preorder and pay for your first orders on Ebay.  I’m a ground unit’s kind of guy.  I like tank battles.  Gimme more tanks!

Yea man.  That program is sweet.  If you ever need help in making a site with your list of minis, pm me.  I’m trying to learn more on how to do that stuff.  :wink:

@MechanizedWarfare:
