Funny stuff.....
Got this in an e-mail today. I thought it was pretty funny. Happy Birthday to all my fellow Marines out there. OOH-RAH! Semper Fi
A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments.
He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan .. One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU .
One day the professor shocked the class when he came in he looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, 'God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes.' The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.
Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, ' Here I am God. I'm still waiting.' It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him, knocking him off the platform.. The professor was out cold.
The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked, stunned, and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, 'What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you do that?' The Marine calmly replied, 'God was too busy today protecting American soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me.'

I'd like to personally invite you all to read a full preview (13Mb PDF link) of our new fast-playing (30 minutes) tactical WWII card game, Frontline General: Spearpoint 1943 in our newsletter. I'm happy to announce that we've just passed the 200 p…
Thanks!
Count me in Jim!
Didn't we just have a special election.....God we get to go through THAT yet again....
I've found the internal debate (i.e. the debate in my head) has been to either play a lot of games poorly or a few games well. I prefer the latter model, but then you must, as you say, find that set of holy grail games that one chooses to become goo…
Chris:
Really - that's a good point. I wonder if the Audi folks realized the message they were sending out with this one. I doubt if anyone found it funny in the least.

The fact that Carolyn like KAtie, married men like us tells us they are good and special people.
My wife Carolyn teaches special ed. I wouldn't trade jobs with her for any amount of money. Very difficult work indeed.
Group to discuss boardgame Map Making.
Where amateur and published map makers can discuss and assist each other with techniques and methods used in creating boardgame maps.
(not a group for arguments about what map style or software app is best)
I've recently printed and built "To the Last Man." I was able to play the game and get an idea of its look and feel beforehand thanks to BGG and Cyberboard. It's an excellent game, one well worth the bother.
I _hope_ it is just by unfortunate accid…
Yes, this was a creepy ad. I looked at the Audi website to compare this car to others. Oddly enough, you are unable to compare it to the VW SportWagon TDI, which gets exactly the same mileage.
Lately, I've been mad at Newsweek, due to issues of bias that are beyond the realm of this group. However, tonight I read a very good article on its web site, regarding layoffs.I was once in a meeting at a former employer, and we were going over th…
I second the motion. May his service in the defense to his country be what matters in the hereafter.
The game on the development table now is Rob Markham's Saratoga. This game covers the decisive battle of the American Revolution tactically, with two scenarios. One addresses the Battle of Freeman's Farm on September 19, and the other is on the Ba…
I'll just say "R.I.P.", lest I stray into the political realm.
