Things have spiraled out of control

I was pricing Apothecary bits this morning, and the cheapest place I found them after a casual search?

Games-workshop.com

I can buy a RARE OOP APOTHERCARY (poor spelling intentional) from GW for $11.50 + tax. Or I can spend $3.00 more for one I'd have to soak in Simple Green for three months to get all the smick off it.

When did it come to this? :)

A Note to My Great Unclean One

Dear Sir:

If you are to continue your current practice of arriving late to the battle field on all occasions, then I shall be forced to downgrade you to a Middling Untidy One.

Showing up on turn five does not count as timely attendance.

Sincerely,
The Management.

Not-so-Serious Soap Box: Smoking is bad for your habit.

I'm all for individual freedoms, but I'm all for people realizing the costs of their bad habits. And the bad habit I want to talk about is the big daddy: smoking. I've never smoked myself, beyond the odd bummed clove while drinking. The main reason was that I was too cheap. And smoking is stupid expensive in the long run. Let me illustrate it for you.


One of the fellows on the Freebootaz forum quit smoking for six months, and with his savings, was able to buy the following:


A Chaos Warhound and 2 turbolaser arms
2 Renegade IG Conversion Kits
1 Renegade IG Enforcer kit
1 Renegade IG Priests
2 Shadowsword kits
3 Manticore/deathstrike kits
1 Basalisk Kit
1 Wii


Just think about that amount of stuff. That's just six months after quitting. Don't make the decision for health or whatever else. Make the decision to quit because of the shiny stuff you'll get otherwise.
