    Things that annoy me

    The original poster cited both. Labeling them is a start. As far as enforcing goes, I'll say the same thing that I said about implementing economic policies, and getting judicial action against those who abused the law in the previous administration. It takes time. It's not like there is a...

    MLB 2025

    I don't think the bye had anything to do with it. The Phillies' big hitters have cycled through slumps like this throughout the regular season, and that was when they played every day. The lack of offense doesn't help, of course, though in Game 2, a win would only have taken 2 runs. The...

    With the way the division series is going, and with today a travel day for the Phillies, Phillies fans are going down to the airport to boo takeoffs and landings. Prost! Brad

    Antifa was designated a domestic terrorist organization, back on 22. September. Prost! Brad

    Did anyone get any more pictures? Perhaps anyone who did can post them in this thread. Prost! Brad

    More precisely, imagine that it happened during Trump's administration, when the incompetence of the past 4 years was supposed to have been corrected. The lapse is akin to the poor procedure that let a sniper climb to a roof on a farm show building and take a shot at a presidential candidate.

    MLB 2025

    Just heard the news that MLB has approved the automated balls/strikes system for next year. Umpires will still call balls and strikes, but the pitcher, catcher, and batter can appeal the call, and it will be checked against the system. If they don't like it, the umpires have no one to blame but...

    Don't forget Koufax. But yeah, Kershaw is certainly among the top 5 the Dodgers have ever had. Prost! Brad

    N.F.L. 24-25 Season

    Yeah, one the first one the Eagles got, when viewed in slow motion, it looked like one of the defenders jumped a split second early. I was surprised that no official caught it, since at least one should have been looking down the line of scrimmage. The player wasn't the one who blocked the kick...

    Movie/TV News

    I'll stick to watching "Big Bang Theory" reruns on TBS. And "The Rookie" and "Blue Bloods on UpTV. Otherwise, TV is crap. Prost! Brad

    N.F.L. 24-25 Season

    How about 3 blocked field goal attempts on the same day! When was the last time that happened, if ever? And when was the last time a team got 2 in one game? Prost! Brad

    Royal Mail Coach by Phoenix Model Developments

    Yeah, it's a good idea to check S&D, if you can, when you see a Phoenix kit for sale. See if it's one currently listed in their catalog or not. Prost! Brad

    Things that annoy me

    And as far as our individual heritages are concerned, the difference between our families and what is going on today, is that our ancestors all buttimilated into American culture. They wanted to, and the country encouraged this. It guided new immigrants in fitting in. Come here, buttimilate, and...

    Things that annoy me

    The difference is that while you hear conservatives and Republicans engage in name-calling, it's individuals in social media. But among the political Left and its party, it's the party leaders and politicians you hear calling people Nazis, fascists (without really knowing what fascism is), and...

    That's a great start, Walt! I look forward to your next update. I'm following one on eBay to finish for my Berlin 1910 collection. Prost! Brad

    Sedan Chair 50 year old kit from Phoenix Model Developments

    Well done, Walt! We talked about this project and it's great to see it finished. Running the poles through the cabin is an interesting idea. I'm going with using wire set in holes through the side and brass rod stock for mine. I'm keeping the porters, though, but adding the coat on the second...

    Who is this maker?

    Out of curiosity, what does the figure itself look like? Prost! Brad

    Chicagoland Toy Soldier Show, Sunday, September 28, 2025

    Or is it that the block of rooms getting a show rate is sold out, not the hotel? We have that situation each year with our show. Prost! Brad

    Things that annoy me

    All the unnatural hair colors. Anyone else remember when blue hair referred to elderly women, because their hair wound up with a shade of blue from the stylist's treatments? I don't think the millennial and GenZ girls even know it. Prost! Brad
