The Gaming Den

Here's something sort of random:

Someone at work asked me to check into World War II models. Preferably something already assembled/not needing assembly and under $75. They do some online shopping, but wanted to know if I could turn up a decent website.

Yes, it is a Christmas present for their son.

Models of what?

And how old is the son?

GOD DAMMIT.

That's what I get for posting before I go to sleep after a day longer than twelve hours awake.

Okay, models of airplanes.

Nice, pre-assembled models of WW2 airplanes are a bit harder to find if you're looking for a plastic model.

Best to look for die cast models like this instead:

Note though, that most die-casts are just 1/72, so they're fairly small.

Aside from these guys, I believe Dragon and Tamiya also have die-cast preassembled stuff (I've seen die-cast WW2 tanks from Dragon, and commercial airliners from Tamiya). You might want to check them out too.

Thanks, I'll pass the website and info along.

I recently decided to start dating (as opposed to just hooking up) for the first time in about a year and a half. She's a really sweet girl.

It's a girl. She's due March 14. I saw her feet, her profile, her tummy, her heart, and even her brain. Sonograms are fucking amazing.

And, like her father, she doesn't like her picture taken. She kept putting her arms and hands in front of the sonogram thingy.

I am NOT a sentimental guy, but that was the cutest thing I've seen.

Game On,
fbmf

fbmf, that's awesome. Congrats.

That's awesome!

Oh, congrats!!!!!!

Names picked yet?

whoohoo! baby girls are awesome. Just remember that sometime during her life, a Louisville slugger is necessary. You can justify it as a potential birthday gift for the kid at some point in the future. She'll forget about it and you get to keep an eye out for her.

I don't have my bat yet but I will at some point in the next couple of years.

Today I had an interview for Panera, and after about ten minutes, I was offered a job.

This is awesome, I've been on unemployment for damn near two years, always feeling like shit because I got so little (I was fortunate to not have major bills). Now I just need to keep this job.

Dawwww, that's so sweet FBMF. Reminds me of when my sisters were infants. Congratulations, baby's are wonderful, if taxing.

That is really fucking awesome Prak, congratulations and good luck.

Congrats fbmf and Ramnza. I'm finding that babies can be lots of fun. I can't wait til mine start being able to have conversations.

Congrats to you, too, Prak. That's a really big deal!!

Congratulations fbmf, Ramza, and Prak!

Not bad. They hiring anyone else?

Thanks all.

There's a new location going up near my house, so they're hiring to fill that up. So, conceivably, Count, if you moved to the hellhole of California, ie, Sacramento, sure.

Prak, are you making sandwiches or baking?

Mmmm... Bread and sandiwches [/Homer]

They hired me as an associate, so I'll be on register and making sandwiches and all that. Hopefully I'll move to baker soon, that's what I really want to do.

It finally happened. I now have to officially watch my language. Yesterday there was a minor emergency that made me yelp an "Oh, Shit!" My son spent the next ten minutes galloping and jumping around the house repeating "Shit, shit, shit, shit..."

I laughed so hard I cried. The question now is: What do I want my child saying in public?

How about shit or fuck?

Those are good.

You old codgers need to realize that your big bad words stopped being a big deal a long time ago. Long enough ago that when I was eight shit wasn't a big deal, I have no idea what contempt current eight year olds have for people who think shit is a really bad word.

Good luck. I have a friend who bakes for Panera. He likes the job, but it makes him tough to hang out with.
