My conversion to heresy is complete.

I spent over an hour last night quietly corner-cutting my Designer's Edition NLB (yep, got one :D) and sorting the corps into baggies.

It's shockingly soothing.  My beloved is convinced I'm associating it with the joy I once had painting toy soldiers.

In any event, I would that were hope doing it now.

Oh, Oregon Lamination, I may soon be able to deduct your products as a medical expense.

You didn't know? My Corps has already sailed to Berlin. We got there 3 days ago and we've been in the Tiergarten on the piss ever since. -- Marshal Soult, October 1806

Muahahahaaa! (evil laugh) 

The whole world will soon be corner-clipped!  Look upon our works, ye mighty, and despair!





I tend to run historical docs/courses in the background, listening to the audio while steadily clipping away with my OregLam clipper.

I just placed an order for the 2.5mm OregLam clipper. It will be a busy weekend of counter clipping  :D

You are all degenerates! I...... I can't even speak of the evils you are perpetrating on your poor defenceless counters.

The great designers of the world have spent countless hours designing SQUARE counters for their games for you to enjoy and then you all go and deface they wonderful labours.

What is this world coming to when war gamers, the most staid and rational of all gamers, are busy mutilating wonderful square counters for their own perverted pleasures?!?

For shame and damnation upon you all!

Did you remember to spray a matte finish (Krylon Matte #1311 is my personal choice) on the countersheet before you punched them?  ;)

You people are barbaric.

They confessed this stuff while we were in a restaurant. The waitress refused to serve us anymore and the bartender came over and told us they didn't want our kind around there. I think we might have gotten away with nothing more than dirty looks if it had just been the component mixing, but when Jim admitted that he put stickers directly on cards, as well as mixed components...well, that was just too much for conservative Midwesterners to take.

I shudder to think what might have happened if they'd figured out that Vance was, you know...a Canadian.

As long as he drinks his tea with his pinky out, he should be ok.
