Multiclassing?

David Axbey @daveaxbey.bsky.social · 2d

That'll go nicely with the clitoaster and vulvacuum cleaner.

Rogue Trader was the first tabletop wargame I played. Wait, does this make me old? I think I may be very old.

Which other bands are on the chart? I'm happy with Neutral Milk Hotel, but there must be a better option than Good Charlotte...

Do they send you an actual space marine?

As a quick aside, just wanted to say how much I appreciate your posts. I don't leave as many likes as I should, as it feels a bit weird to heart posts that end with 'all 346 crew aboard the HMS Unfortunate were killed in the resulting explosion', but they're one of the highlights of Bluesky for me.

'Unknown cause' - Thomas Lyde Hornbrook sat there with an easel, paints and a now empty box of firelighters.

Is this Bromley House Library?

I still remember being excited to get extra characters for Curse of the Mummy's Tomb in a White Dwarf!

It's great when people put stuff like this in their bios, 'cos I can insta block without even needing to glance at their feed. Same with 'if you block me I've won' in a bio. Cool, then we're both winners this day, I guess...

David Axbey @daveaxbey.bsky.social · 22d

Well, I've got it narrowed down to two options, but IDK which strat is meta right now.

Lucius Cornelius Sulla, is that you?

David Axbey @daveaxbey.bsky.social · 23d

I've checked the relevant studies and journals, and it turns out that he's just a lil' guy.

A bit of silliness from 2021.

Kong's first line is taken directly from the 2007 BBC adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's Cranford.

Single-panel comic drawn in brown pencil. Godzilla and King Kong sit facing each other on mounds of rocks, taking tea, with an elegant tea set on the ground between them.
Kong: 'What is all this agitation? Are the summer gloves come in?'
Godzilla, waving an unfolded letter with a ribbon and sealing wax: 'Why, an invitation, to be sure! To Mothra's garden party!'
Kong: *Gasp!*
