Hi to you also Chickenboy, really like that AV, and siggy of your's. They have a very different theme from the normal, but are disturbingly beautiful.

Much obliged, sir. I cannot take any credit for either. A resident kiwi sig wiz (DivePac88) of the THREAD was kind enough to help me out with 'em a couple years back.

Which reminds me...anyone heard from him lately?

I sent him an email via the forums a couple of days ago, after the most recent Christchurch earthquake, but have not heard any reply.

Ya know, I think I'll cut out alittle early today and get my hair cut. What's left of it. I can't believe Joe charges me $13.00. That's like $70.00 an hour.

Pat charges me 13, and I always give him $20 and refuse his change...hes a vet too... good times.

Tim here charges me $14 and I always give him $20 and refuse his change. He's not a vet, but he's a smoker-Marlboro Red. I will have one with him to get my semi-monthly fix.

Keep Virginia green... use tobacco products.

That's what many billboards used to say when I was a teenager in Richmond. They threw me out of the city when I quit smoking...

It sounded like I only give him $20 because he is a vet... what I should have said is, I give him $20 because he's a hell of a guy, and I really enjoy talking with him as he is a vet, and has seen the entire world it seems like.

I think I'm closing in on GG's WaW:A World Divided as my fantasy football prize. It looks fun, and a step back from the complexity of AE. I might actually be able to play an entire game.

Do any of you guys have any experience with it, or even own it? Might be cool to try a PBEM game against a Brother.

I may have to take a look at that one again. I have sim's, tactical, operational, but no strategic games except for WitP and WitP-EA which are more operational in my mind. But I do like the tactical games. Especaially the Combat Mission series.

Good choice Mike - it is quick and fun game!

BTW, you will see my name in the credits list...

P.S.
Have you considered Matrix's Panther series (latest one is "Battles for the Bulge" = BftB with older "Highway to the Reich" = HttR scenarios in latest game engine as expansion pack)?

Glad you made it back safely, Viking dude. Snow, eh? What's that? Seems as though I heard a rumor of it once, but don't know what it is.

(It's been a very warm Winter season here-melting everything that we've had to date-which is very little)

Heya Jeff,

No worries, I got your drift. I give my barber the overly large tip because he's cool, gives me a good haircut and let's me smoke his cigarettes.

I also believe in supporting the 'old school' barber shops that cater to men's grooming rather than the cookie cutter "Smart Cuts" sorts of salons. This is my way of fighting back against the metrosexualization of modern life, if that makes any sense at all.

I gave out several copies of Adam Carolla's latest book, "In 50 years, we'll all be chicks" for Christmas to coworkers. It's a hilarious and (sometimes) poignant read and heartily recommended.

Same here. Only the northernmost part that has managed to get any snow to stay. :-/

Snownami is nothing. Just wait until Snowmageddon!!!

(Cannibalism can also be under rated. It VERY much depends on exactly who you are eating.)
