Painted this bard I found by accident on Etsy. Super fun to paint. Tried to use Lemmy Kilmister as the inspiration

As a kid I once found my budgie head-down in my glass of milk. (He had tried unsuccessfully to land and perch on the rim of the glass.) Fortunately my dad had the presence of mind to fish him out quickly so he didn't drown - the rest of us were too busy laughing.

With cats it's more like "Where have you NOT found your pet?". They manage to get under, behind, and into everything. I had one orange tabby who used to get up on top of my wall clock.

We had a spaniel mix growing up. We used to go horseback riding all around the countryside. The other dogs were good dogs and stayed with us. He did not. He had a hound dog nose and it never led him to any good. He would go missing all the time. So we would call him when we were riding, but sometimes he didn't come. We got a phone call from the neighbours that they had him, and he was on the porch, drinking lemonade with them. I also found a kitty down a hole when I was a kid. They had dug post holes around the mill to put up warning fences where the cables touched the ground. Somehow, a little kitten fell into one of the holes. It was a deep sucker, and narrow, so it couldn't get back out. Little eight year old me made a noose from a rope and went kitty fishing. Miraculously, the kitty walked throuogh the middle of the loop and I pulled it up. I wrote my 4H speech about that kitty.

Excellent concert over in Boise last night. Old Dominion puts on a great show. The new artists that they have for the opening acts were great as well. We spent the night in Boise to avoid the hour drive back home (would have put us in at 1 am or so) so this morning after checking out we did a little bit of shopping. My haul after going to Hobbytown, ABU Games (my 1st trip, I may stop again when I do my overnight for ReaperCon this year.) & Hobby Lobby. Also not included as I just placed a order for them, due to the Medium being out at both game stores I stopped at in Boise: Citadel Contrast Medium Contrast Gutrippa Flesh Contrast Dreadful Visage Contrast Talassar Blue Nice way to end the month! Happy to have picked up the Contacta Clear, as I've wanted to try this, but really the only to order was overseas. It's a clear glue for clear parts in scale models. I opened the bottle & it has a brush in the cap & it sorta reminds me of thinned white glue. We shall see. The orange spray is a fluorescent color, I'll be using that on a model I order from Japan (orange & green checkered pattern paint scheme!!!). Also was happy that H-town had the Vallejo Xpress color, as I wanted to try out their version of Contrast type paints. Figured grab a shade of red, as that is hardest color in Contrast to make look right (at least to me). The Pouring medium is something that caught my eye as I read a post by @Crusoe the Painter on here. Also, my FLGS got in that Kool-aid d20 & Pathfinder 2e Book of the Dead on Weds, so I picked those up as well. It's oversized & tbh, I did a bunch of test rolls with it & well lets just say I didn't use it that night,

Cats...get places. Every so often Topaz plays hide and seek with us. The strangest places we've found her are the clothes hamper (she had to do some jumping to get there, and then couldn't figure out which way to go to get out) or one of the kitchen cabinets. Mrs. Strawhat left the door open and went to go do something, and the cat crawled in and hid in the back. We looked for her for hours.

There was one time that we had snow in the back of an old grain truck, so we tilted the box at about a 60 degree angle so that the sun could melt the snow and it would trickle out. Well, at the top of the box was where our dog decided that would be the best place to sleep so that the snow would keep him cool.

Ooooohhh Canaaaadaaaa.....

Blue cheese and bacon. Or a mix of onions, jalapeños and habaneros. But, for the last time, NO PINEAPPLE! Oh wait, wrong rant... I'm embarrassed to admit that years back I was in the kitchen and I couldn't get one of the big drawers to close back up. I shoved it a couple of times, and it would get close, then kind of push back out a little bit. I finally heard a pitiful "meeeooooowwww" and pulled the drawer out. Our little bengal popped out like she was shot from a cannon - she'd somehow managed to hop in the drawer, hop out to the inside of the cabinet and curled up behind the drawer. Fortunately she was tough as nails so I doubt a few hard blows from the cabinet even fazed her.

I guess I have boring pets; if they hide ( very rare ), it's under a piece of furniture.

Cheddar Cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mustard, mayo, relish, ketchup (or tomato paste depending on region). Think that's about all, although sometimes it's nice to have an onion ring or three in there.

It's too easy to do, what with software that remembers your passwords, and sites that remember your credit card numbers. Heck, my cat got on the other night and ordered several yards of quilt fabric from an etsy shop, and now that it is here I might as well avoid the hassle of returning it and find a use for it.

The humiliation! He had shaved off his hair, braided his beard and headed for the mountains, he would show them! Brunhilda would certainly change her mind when he would bring back a Troll's head and her brothers wouldn't make fun of him then! There! Just a little below him he could see it! A large Troll! Gripping the twohanded axe he had inherited from his father he let out a warcry and attacked!!!! ******************************* Trogg casually walked back to the Horde munching on a dwarf's leg. It wasn't every day that such a meal presented itself like that! And he also got this fancy axe of the stupid little dwarf! This day couldn't get any better! ****************************

Question, Feb 26th— Stealthy Sunday: Where is the oddest place you have ever found your pet?

Well been trying to force myself to paint more trying to get out of this non-paint funk so I'm now at least 50% of my regular production. So here are a few I forced myself to do, mainly 3d prints.

Can't eat Cheeseburgers, not allowed Dairy or Gluten And paleo buns typically aren't any better. We're on about 7.5 years off dairy and wheat, and also haven't had a decent burger in that time

Used my discount from Fleshcraft Studio to get these: That's an Undead Bear!

My question is... how did it get the WarmaHordes troll into that pitcher, without opposable thumbs? The Auld Grump Being licked to death - count the number of lickety-licks per second... it's insane. The pitties that I have met have been sweethearts. The Auld Grump

"FedEx driver chose to ignore the front porch and go through this gate. My rooster charged them; torn pants, scratches. Apparently, it’s my fault." Which brings us to this: GEM

I have Google searched things. Horrible, horrible things. I now know that the answer to my own question involves someone named Luther.

MEOW denies any involvement with this incident...

Still working through bits that have been hanging around my desk...the Giant Clam with unfeasibly large pearl (at least 3 feet/ 1m diameter) seems more like scenery than monster but as I waspainting this one I wondered if it could be the underwater equivalent of the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing and the pearl is the bunny on top? Or is it a mimic that knows how to swim 🤔Hope you like it whatever it is...

Yah, I knew that whole "Niceness thing" was a front!!!

Seen this on a Reddit email I get every once & awhile: Those are pallets of Magic the Gathering cards (cases) The person taking the photo: a post on Reddit: If there's 6 pallets, 6 layers per pallet, 12 cardboard boxes per layer, and 4 display boxes per cardboard box, then you're talking about 1728 display boxes. At $150/box (actually I looked on eBay and MH2 booster boxes are selling for closer to $200, but we can be conservative), then yeah you're looking at close to $260,000 of product.

Thank you @Great Khan Artist for the great question suggestion. So the oddest place: That would be: inside a closet, behind a wall, within a dead space, on the wrong side of the Sheetrock. Critter was a kitten. We think the kitten began by falling down a disused chimney < …There is a long story here… > . . . she had to be extracted by cutting out a 8x8inch chunk of Sheetrock so she could crawl out to the light.

My Boxer Dogs always were pretty predictable, most of the time they were sleeping in the garden or in their own doggy bed. So no strange things there.

Our first guinea pig had a habit of hide and seek. He'd get loose and go under a bed or dresser, squeal at the top of his lungs to let you know where he was, then race off to another hiding place while you went for the one he was leaving. Gave mom no end of trouble, I was 5 and not much help. We nearly couldn't get him when he got loose in my great grandma's efficiency, until he hit the linoleum and couldn't stand. The cockatiels got everywhere. One landed in the Christmas tree, and went deeper to crawl out the other side. Another landed hanging by outstretched wings on an empty pitcher with feet dangling in space. And all three had overshot their backsplash and gone down the stairs at least once. This was a problem with grandma's former bird most of all, as He'd fly til he hit something then walk around til he found his cage. As he couldn't possibly get to his cage from the basement, you had to hurry after him before he got really lost. And one time the first bird got down the hall, hung a left into the bathroom, and left a perfect wing print on the mirror before landing in the sink. We didn't clean it off for months.

FWIW, computers can 100% replace humans when it comes to not actually doing what they're told.

So I've been printing a new terrain piece for Legion for a week or so, and finally had enough done to do a test fit of most of the main parts.... Note the Shoretrooper for scale. Still have to finish the back piece (on the printer now) and a top piece which will have "cables" running from it to the front and back. And a bunch more things that can hang under it. The crane engines slide onto a rail type thing that runs the length of the body, so you can change up how they go and what levels they are at, and they provide independent platforms to put between the hanging ones and ladders and so on. It is a a beautiful kit called the M.U.L.E. done by Imperial Terrain. And by the time it is done, I might have just about used up all my partial spools of filament.

If they are anything like the doggies [yes they were pit bulls] that lived across the street when we were still living in Cal. the biggest danger is being drowned in doggie slobber. GEM

Honestly, the thread got locked because the poster had made a "+" thread (positivity only) about something that was guaranteed to generate wildly varying opinions, then tried to curate the thread on their own by attempting to strictly define what "positivity" meant - in this case, insisting that posters read the (literally) 48-page academic document he had written about an old TSR-era D&D product before posting and only discuss the list of points that he had made in his thesis document. He got told four times to stop trying to play moderator by the guy that runs the forum before he closed down the thread.

I like my cheeseburger pretty basic so... A good beef burger between two buns, cheese ( like metioned by others, enough cheese to taste it with every bite) A little bit of lettuce, ketchup, some pickles and a slice of bacon that's it. So everything else is a no for a cheeseburger.

It's all true, that's why no one messes with us.

Worked on some more Undead and Evil Statues.. Getting there...

Are they by any chance turtles in their teenage years? GEM

I read an article somewhere a few weeks back where someone's three-year-old was playing with their phone and somehow not only managed to log into a site but bought like $300 of stuff.

And thereby avoid the dreaded lockout. GEM

Who in the name of all Thunder combines donuts and burger meat ? What?

Eyeball to eyeball with me when she was on top of the refrigerator, my wife's Norwegian Forest Cat

I had never before considered the (boot) trunk door clearance arc on this model of car until seeing this picture.

Good eye. I use the pharmacy in the village, our pharmacist and his team are amazing. Once when I cleaned our my cupboards, I found some pills left by a previous tenant. I had to look them up to see if they were anything interesting. Just laxatives.
