Man, last time I was there, the Jihad wasn't even officially underway- I played in a WoB vs Wolf's Dragoons canon event.

this year it was various Snord's Irregulars events

Nice.  Actually, the events I played in there were where I got my first taste of running vehicles... by surprising a Zeus with my Mantaffel' Prime's 5/8 movement and giving him a full six rounds from my RAC straight into his Center Torso Rear.  Good times.

Anyway, to keep things on topic (in the Mechwarrior Hall?  That's crazy talk) I just bought a Philly Cheese Steak for dinner.  Not an authentic one, but it's not exactly easy to find authentic Cheese Steaks this far from Philly anyway, and it was still pretty good.

Why?

Why wouldn't someone by a didgeridoo is the question!

Digitaldidgeridoos don't stand up to analog didgeridoos in recording setups larger than a four track. 

I'm totally guessing.   O0 O:-)

Yes, they do. http://www.goana.pl/home/  Not that I am going to run out and buy one.  I am having enough problems explaining to my wife why I bought this one...

Well, you can try, but they tend to get stuck in the jacks when you do.

Finally got my copy of Metro: Last Light (for 360) from Best Buy today, along with the Blu-Ray version of A Good Day to Die Hard, with beverage opener!   O0   I also went to see After Earth, which I thought was pretty good.

Not so much bought myself, but my wife just got me an iPad just for my Battletech PDFs  O0

I had to promise her that I would run a Battletech campaign for her.

Though it means payments for the next five years I managed to get me a replacement vehicle after the last was suicide attacked by a deer (or maybe a small sasquatch).  Sat. June 29 I drove off in a 2007 red chevy cobalt.  Mighty satisfied with its performance so far.

Three new pair of shorts and six new t-shirts....in a smaller size!
