Can't pack the painting kit because I'm in panic paint mode right now trying to see if I can finish a second entry, lol. Is it telling that I read that as "red shirts"? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when I didn't live here, I was more of a 'pack 2 days before the trip, and doublecheck everything the day before the trip' kind of person, though. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Eyed Monsty Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 While exiting the parking lot for the Shopping Center where our local In and Out is located we passed the location for the Spirit pop up Halloween Store. They have both a "Help Wanted" and a "NOW OPEN" sign on the front of the building. GEM 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuldGrump Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 4 hours ago, TGP said: This is what I think Grump is talking about: @TheAuldGrump have they got the board setup a little backward? This picture is from BoardGameGeek no less, but the Rooks (?) inner ring or outer ring? I’m kinda remembering outside ring for them. There are variants - but outer in the 2nd rank is more common, - it means that you have to do some moving to unleash the rooks. One difference in the variant that I learned is that the inner four squars could be moved into from any of the connecting square - but normally they are ignored, or not present at all. When the central four squares are used then the positions are reversed - because otherwise the King is exposed, so then the rooks are moved in while the King and Queen are moved out. Looks like the BGG group is using those middle squares. Another fun archaic Chess game comess from Poland - using dice. 1 is pawn 2 is bishop 3 is knight 4 is rook 5 is queen 6 is king Roll 2d6 - reading them as two numbers. You can only move one pice, of the one of the coresponding numbers. If you can't move a piece it becomes the opponents turn. Unsurprisingly, this was a gambling variant.

Moderator OneBoot Posted August 24, 2022 Moderator Share Posted August 24, 2022 Chatting with my physical therapist today, and he said his wife had recently gone to a Backstreet Boys concert. I expressed surprise that they were still around, then was curious how old they are now. The answer: mid-40's to 50. Given that they were a big part of my middle/early high school years...I'm not really sure how to feel about this. Huzzah! --OneBoot 😄 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
