Yes you and I at least survived the catastrophe......I'm sure more will check
in as Coms returns to normal with the lowering of the background
radiation....Don't worry over it too much....)

Well, for a Final Minute Atomic Sheep, the range is "you're in range" and the
burst effect is "take your figs off the table. While you're at it, pick up
those trees too. Yes, that building too, thanks."

You're a nut.

And that's *really* funny...

Well, it caught me at a weak moment at any rate... my girlfriend is in the

explain. "Ahh, nothing...".

You're thinking of Sponge Bob Squid Lips, who appeared last year. This year we
heard the Dread Bleat of Baa'zathoth, and there were some others which could
have appeared. Unfortunately Doug managed to convince everyone that he was a
Cthulhu cultist, when he wasn't actually; but it drew enough attention that
the actual cultist didn't need to summon the Dark Young of Sheep Niggurath.

By the way, Adrian, you're going to be one of the sheep next year.

You're too late... Chris and I discussed this at GZGECC... I believe the
conversation went like this...

Rrok: "Chris... instead of the necronomicon, you should have the
Sheepinomicon." Chris: "That would be too evil." Rrok: *laughs, then looks
startled* "I never thought I'd hear you say something was too evil." Chris: "I
said ti was too evil, I didn't say I wouldn't use it."

This whole thread is evil.

But it did remind me of a software project I did with General Electric
Aircraft Engines a few years ago using grid computing of the idle workstations
during off hours.

Since it was a Collision analysis program, the small clients were called
Collies and they were sent into the "pasture" to round up the "sheep" of
colliding engine design parts.

The postprocessor for the entire operation was called "Mutton".

Ah, yes, I need to start working on my con Queso squad too.

The sheep meme really is getting out of hand, isn't it?

So pick another innocent little creature to mangle and otherwise
desecrate........I nominate bunnies...)

> The sheep meme really is getting out of hand, isn't it?

No, no...the sheep will be the ones doing the mangling and
desecrating.  Not that bunnies can't also do a good job at that--or at
least one switchblade-wielding mini-lop that we know of.

> > Now I need to find / convert some minis of sheep in powered armor

You can always use the Battle Cattle (Baa-ttle Cattle?) miniatures and
weapon packs for your conversions.

Sorry no cyborg sheep, just cows currently (and that is a whole new set of
puns), but sheep may be an untapped market for the next edition....

Not that bunnies can't also do a good

And one can not forget the dreaded Vorple Bunny from Monty Python and The Holy
Grail.

"That Rabat, es got a viscous streak a mile wide," "It's teeth are, Look at

Let us not forget the white rabbit that guarded the entrance of the cavern of
the monster drawn by the animator that died of a sidden heart

I can see it now... the first official expansion... a new famyard gang on a
violent jihad... the Lambs of Slaughter.... these sheep have bad habits....
would be interesting... seeing Beth and Chris showing up with the same
minis....

Of course you do realize that for every two rounds they spend unmolested, they
double in number... until they have an entire army... cute little rabits in
white fluffy armor... it's Episode V, The Empire Hutches Back....

Unless of course their Jewish rabbits... then it's straight to Episode VI:

I'm sure next year's players will want to express their gratitude to you for
pointing these out.

No, no, Beth's minis have habits already, except of course for the Close
Combat Specialist who doesn't have any habit at all.

Joshua came up with that one, among others. Even my wife said "If you keep

But if your gonna be traditional and stick with sheep the game to be played
would be "Flocks and Filds" or that old clasic RPG "Folds and Foxes", But I
still rember far too many killer Fm's (Foldmaster's) and
every game was just another Fold-crawl.

If really have to stick with the Bunnie idea Discount Hobbys has some really
good "Killer Rabbits".

Bringing small fuzz balls would be easier on the figure transport front....
You gotta love it when youwatch people carefully pull out their figs from
padded boxes and Laserlight reaches into his pocket and produces a bunch of
fuzz... which I then proceeded to find in on or under every game I was in
after that;)

Being the mouse-o-phile (in games, not real life [tm]) I am I  must note
that they don't look revolting to me! Just correcting suppression of their
