Coulda been worse. Coulda been more like Sandusky than like Belichick. Prost! Brad

Not the planet, Tom, but the West, including our society. And I don't think they're stupid. They're immature, childish, stuck in an emotional adolescence. Inconsiderate in the literal sense of the word-they don't think. They don't think about how what they do impacts others around them, only...

Weathertainment. Not neutral reporting on the weather, but hysteria to get clicks/ratings.

Ich verstehe. ;) Ich verstehe. Du verstehst. Er, sie, es versteht. Wir verstehen. Ihr versteh(e)t. Sie verstehen. Prost! Brad

Dammit, Burns, General Riedesel's name is not "ree-DAYZEL", it's "reed-ayzel", even stress on both syllables!!! No one ever gets that right.

Or drivers who make the right turn from the left lane. Apparently, depending on where you live, that move is named for the neighboring state. For example, in Kentucky, I think it is, some call that a Tennessee Turn. Though here in the Delaware Valley, I've heard people from either PA or Jersey...

The comments you all have posted cover all the reasons why I choose not to watch this series. I'm not a fan of Burns. "The Civil War" was a great documentary, groundbreaking, and it set the standard for documentaries that followed, like "The American Revolution" and "Liberty!" "Baseball"...

Do you use a popup blocker? If not, I recommend using one. Or an ad blocker. With the understanding that it could interfere with other browser processing, of course. Application development and our interaction with operating systems, browsers, and websites and applications, is a continuous...

I have to take back my tentative ID of the figure in the slouch hat. The Schutztruppe hat had the right-hand brim turned up, not the left. Prost! Brad

Yeah, there were a number of kit makers, and some figure makers, who made Schutztruppe figures. Monarch made kits, and I think Valiant did, too. And now that I think of it, Pickelhaube Miniatures made finished figures in his catalog. It's hard to tell, but it might be a Pickelhaube mounted...

This was posted in the General Matte forum, but it's probably more relevant in this thread: https://forum.treefrogtreasures.com/threads/treefrog-id.85097/ We talked about this years ago, too. I made my own badge in Word by printing the logo and using an Avery badge. Prost! Brad

Is the mounted figure in the first picture part of the set? The hat looks more like the one worn by the German Schutztruppe. Prost! Brad

Yeah. classic toy soldiers-the old glossy and mostly hollowcast pieces made as toys are making that transition from collectible to true antique. There are fewer and fewer people who remember playing with them, for one thing, so demand has been declining. We saw the "I played with that!"...

Would you say, though, George, that among the table-top gamers, interest in painting their figures with more skill and detail has grown over the past 10 years or so? It seems to me that previously, most gamers were satisfied with a general level of painting, enough to look good at a scale...

Is there no setting on the nannyware to list exceptions, or to set it more precisely than just to identify the string of letters? Having to replace ay-ess-ess in words where that string occurs is asinine. If there is no such setting or preference, then, speaking as someone who worked in...
