Kind of an inside joke based on TMP, where in the members-only area there is a thread with over 20,000 replies, and still going. And so begins my sordid tale of woe and blame and finger pointing.

Some fellow calling himself "Polynikes" started a thread called "Contains WHAT?" where he started ranting about something on TV. Since TMP doesn't have an erase/edit function on posts (or didn't at the time), he immediately decided that instead of whining about television, he wanted to play Never-Get-Started-Monopoly. You play this game by picking a piece for the game (such as the dog or the car.) The next player picks the piece you just picked, so you pick another one. The next player picks that piece.* Two turns of the game therefore go like this:

Player 1: I want to be the dog.
Player 2: No, I want to be the dog.
Player 1: Fine, I'll be the car.
Player 2: No, I want to be the car.

In the course of the game, the pieces involved became more and more esoteric, eventually segueing into pieces from an unseen Tintin edition. At that point, the mummified remains of Rascar Capac were claimed. Shortly thereafter, Steve Prefontaine was claimed by the same individual, and not long after that, a new piece, the Mummified Remains of Steve Prefontaine were claimed.

At that point, the Polynikes individual switched his icon to Steve Prefontaine.

Unfamiliar with Mr. Prefontaine, I remarked that it looked like Sean Connery in Zardoz.

And someone asked: "What's Zardoz?"

And the world was never the same after that.

I will return this thread to its proper function in exchange for Kinmont Willie and a dozen fine border cattle.

*: Keep in mind that "Mornington Crescent" was also invented in Greater Britain

No, I want the Kinmont Willie and a dozen fine border cattle. ::

I just bought a Corgi Fighting Machines Land Rover CS90115 , I thought it would be perfect for my Hasslefree "Not the Queen" figure.

Got me some assorted LotR-blisters (Harad and Gondor) + some plastic Haradrim Raiders from a nearby hobby store...

I also stumbled on the big bag of plastic 'Zombie Pirates of the Vampire Coast' form the time when GW released 'Lustria'. Had to... bag... that one.

Also a couple of (very expensive) die-cast brass steering wheels for The Black Pearl and the sloop I'm building....

Hammers' German Camel Jockeys arrived today, and they look even better in the flesh. For pics I refer you to his original post for now, though I have forgotten where it is.

The 7 blokes seen here, on special offer which means they count as freebies  : http://forum.backofbeyond.de/viewtopic.php?p=49054#49054 - quite a nice bunch to, especially the sentry with folded arms and his colleague shouting 'Halt!' or something

PS - now, if we add up German sentries with commandos and a bus (and maybe a snow plough?) what do we get...?

Three weeks to the day my first order from the UK arrived from Westwind.
 I wonder if customs are holding things up as I have not waited that long before.
GRK012 Rage Virus Zombies , GHZ004 Zombies , 44WGB10 Commandos 2 (to bulk out my Foundry Commandos) , G-SHS7 German bare heads (for conversions) , WRUS16 Russian Partizans ( I have about fifty Partizans now) , GHM002 Mummy Servant Priests , GHM004 Diggers.

The Rage Zombies are bigger than expected but I like everything I bought , I just have to find time to paint it all. :roll:

A real nice pile of lovely goodies arrived today.

But they're all for my club, and that is top secret at the moment, so I can't tell you anything about them!

Lizardmen from the Company that shall not be named here. After seeing them in action on Grimm's board at the Tactica I had to have a few of them. Need them, as I'm planning to put up some of the Infinity Wars Scenarios from TORG - the ultimate pulp role-playing game.
