Why do I want Suet?

thebitterguyWalMart flyer advertising 3-Pack Suet for 3.93. Brain goes "Hey, that would be a good buy!" Working part of brain goes "we don't have any birds, our only bird feeder is a hummingbird feeder that uses liquid, and we don't know if that would really be a good price for Suet anyway." Brain then goes "I like cheese."
Stupid brain.
Last night was birthday for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mr_weasel. Because he, in a fit of Space Madness, travelled to Montreal on teh spur of the moment on Wednesday (Thursday?) I was curious as to whether or not he'd actually be HERE for his birthday party. Especially when he called at noon to say he and his common law wife were leaving Montreal. Okay, now, ninny mapping programs aside, that's a five or so hour drive on a GOOD day. Suppose, then, some semi driver hopped up on goofballs overturned his tanker on the Four Ought One 85 feet in front of them. You know what woulda happened? They'd have been grateful mr_weasel brings books to read, because they wouldna been driving.
Not to have worried, as the peeps in attedance (atomiks, kinra, spezbaby, the former LJer mindrobber as well as the charming and lovely senexmacdonald would have compensated finely even if we were robbed of mr_weasel's soccer holligan-esque behaviour.
He did eventually arrive. Comics, TV & Movies were discussed (although I don't think I got to hand out any of the Serenity keychains I had in my pocket). It was agreed that Arrested Development & Kitchen Confidential is the best hour of comedy on TV today. Lost rocks, so the hatahs can just zip it. Zip!
Got him an A&A starter. His rare? An Italian Tank. You will note the paucity of great Italian tank battles in the histories, eh?. Please note: This is an opportunity to link to Wikipedia for every Italian tank battle! Go, quickly! Go! Now!
Upon looking at the figures, I noticed that the font on them is very small. Very, VERY small. We're talking magnifying glass small. Microscope small. Especially when you consider that there are German units in here, with 800 letter names like Sonderpanzerfeuruberreichsgunterschnitzeleinszweidreikommando. The font can only be read from the other side, using lasers, a 2 karat diamond and a highly trained dolphin.
Here's an amusing unit ability!
Commissar says,
“Bravery Enforcement - At the beginning of your assault phase, you can destroy a friendly Soldier adjacent to this unit. If you do, other friendly Soldiers adjacent to this unit get 1 on each attack die this phase.”
"{bang} Okay, if you don't want to end up like Ivan here, you will march!"
Apparently there are Japanese & Russian figures in the game, so it is not based primarily around the Western front. My new gaming store charges more than the in town stores. They are hence evil.
I had a back (Or for you yanks in the crowd, "Canadian") bacon & Cheddar sandwich. Very tasty, although the bread appeared to be squished by a thumbprint (stupid bread cutters). Parking only cost $1.05, so that was nice.
Stupid brain.
