There would have to be too much explaining. I don’t know which scenario is worse – unwrapping a box of Daemonettes of Slaanesh in front of your grandmother, or unwrapping what you thought was that set and is actually Happy Scrappy Hero Pup Friendly Wargaming because Gam-Gam thought it was the same thing.ĬHRIS: I make it a firm rule to never discuss any models, painting, or games with any upstream family members. Models themselves can definitely have both the “awkward for everyone” and the “confusing to relatives” aspects of gift-giving.
Though, thinking about it, I don’t think I’ve ever given or received actual models for the holidays outside of a Discord group Secret Santa, only tools and accoutrements (excellent ones, might I add). After all, Season Two of this very column was born when I was gifted/burdened with a whole new army. I’m talking about a special time for Hams.
FILL ME UP MEME MOVIE
Regardless, the holidays are kind of a special time, and not just because eating Chinese takeout and going to an empty movie theater is the best possible thing you can do in this or any other universe. Come back to me when you’ve thought that one through. Also, please don’t look in my closet of shame.ĭREW: You know, sometimes you just gotta let a sentence sit there and continue cooking. You’re welcome!ĬHRIS: You say that, but you know damn well I spent hours hunting down buggies for pennies on the dollar after some chump got all pouty that he couldn’t field his nine Snazzwagons and five Dakkajets anymore. You really have no idea how broken I am.)īut the second, and most important question: what did you get me?ĭREW: I actually gave you your gift last month but you didn’t notice: the gift of freedom from having to buy a million Ork buggies on eBay. Why did I do this to myself? Dear reader, I ask myself that question several times a day.
FILL ME UP MEME FULL
(Note: after writing this I decided to see what all the fuss was about and actually sat through the full Holiday Special for the first time in my life. I don’t think I even made it to the Grandpa Itchy VR porn scene before I told our parents “that’s okay, I don’t really want to watch this” and wandered sadly out of the room. I was seven years old and remember very clearly how totally excited I was for it. Credit: Lucasfilm Ltd., LLC.ĬHRIS: Being “Old as Fuck” I actually watched the Holiday Special when it first aired. Pretty sure this is a picture from one of our New Year’s parties. Let’s face it, MAI WAIFE gets the Bea Arthur role anyway. However, I’ll fucking fight you for the right to be Harvey Korman riding the coke train full speed in drag through an otherwise dull cooking segment. I don’t remember any names from that show other than the horror show that was Lumpy, so I’m guessing his name was Pervy or Strokesy or something. If I had to cast you in the Holiday Special my first instinct is that you’re Chewie’s weird grand-dad that sits down to watch softcore VR porn in the living room while everybody else does all the work. First: which of us is Bea Arthur?ĭREW: Honestly? Neither of us. We’re here, gathered around the fire sipping mugs of hot egg nog and Malört, and there are two questions that need to be answered. Content for the Content Gods!ĭREW: When you say “bound,” do you mean Dear Editor left a single bolter shell in your mailbox and a note that just said “WRITE”?ĬHRIS: Look, I just want to see my family again, okay? After all, ‘tis the “holiday season,” dear brother.
Our Benevolent Masters in Goonhammer High Command have demanded a third season, regardless of the readership numbers, and we are bound to obey. I will bite you.ĬHRIS: Well, here we go again. I am not lighting my groin on fire for less than a kiloclick. The younger brother, more experienced in the world of Hams but probably worse.ĭREW: No! No. “Learned” to play Iron Hands and Bostonian Orks. The older of the two brothers, but newer to the game.
FILL ME UP MEME HOW TO
Battle Bros is an ongoing bi-weekly column where Drew (PantsOptional) teaches his brother Chris (head58) how to play Warhammer 40,000 but somewhere along the line they lost that thread and this is what we ended up with instead.
