Happy Loudest Fart Day everyone!

#loudestfartday
The loudest fart in the world was recorded at 118.1 decibels. It happened on May 11th, 1972 in Flint, Michigan by a man named Paul Hunn. The fart lasted for two minutes and forty-two seconds.

They once again mixed intense beauty with violence, dance, loss, camaraderie, death, joy and disappointment.

I'm amazed that 25 years after I got to know them they're still capable of some of the most interesting, surprising and […]

Small woman playing massive baritone sax and tall man playing trombone Man with electric guitar slung on playing trumpet as if it comes all the way from his toes Man with tuba slung on playing a trombone. In the chorus he used the latter, and in the rest of the song he played a very prominent bass line on the tuba. Oh and he played samples on the controller behind him in the same song Drummer, trumpeter and guitar player going about their energetic business while a big man with three marching drums strapped to him is holding up his drum sticks and holding the microphone and visibly angrily yelling something into it. Yes they chose violence here

Ready for #dekift in #concert with my better half.
Acoustic and electric guitars, a steel drum, a whole load of effects pedals, and in the foreground a trumpet, all under red and yellow lights Close up of the floor with a pile of effects pedals and wires and music sheets and timing sheets with red and blue lights The set list taped to the floor of the stage. It's upside down and the titles are all in Dutch which is confusing and weird for anyone Titles are: Niemandsland wals dageraad kompanen de nacht mooi trompetboom witte vlinder lied van mijn gramschap vogels wereld wereld rode maan ansicht bal heisa-ho bleke chrysanten zeis ik ken een man witte haring hoofdkaas Empty stage with one microphone prominently in view many red blue lights shining down like coloured veils

Drybrushed some rudely printed chests. After zooming in on this pic, I slathered them with nuln oil gloss for definition, but regretted it as it brings out the layer lines like a champ😆

Worked on some #terrain for #rangersofshadowdeep.

I'm a bit mad that I reprinted the apothecary's table, and chose the wrong work top for it because the one on the misprint is a lot better. Serves me for being hasty. Other than that […]

Fiddled around with the school 3d printers some more to print a plastic rack for a neater hobby space. And print more #plasticrack lol. The first is stackable, the second goes on the stack.

Seems as if reducing build plate temp by 5° […]

3d printed Vallejo bottle rack (we boycott that shit now) 3d printed Vallejo bottle rack, top view 3d printed apothecary desk with scrolls, scales, bottles and books with only a little warping, closed up on in the pics Rubble pile (cork and city wall stones) with some broken chairs (3d printed) strewn over it. There's a funny story to this. When my Rangers of shadow deep mates and I decided which scenario to do, I volunteered on working on some of the things on the list of scenery and materials we needed. I enthusiastically built a 4 inch diameter rubble pile. Turned out it was supposed to be a rubbish pile with books, vestments, monastery furniture. So yeah, that's what I did, rubble with rubbish on top.

Color had je op stuff I printed with Warhammer fantasy battles cannon crew for scale Picture one: a massive dinner table and four cargo crates Picture 2: three big but relativly simple thrones or seats for clergy etc Picture 3: wooden chairs! a broken chair, a small chair, a small chair in two parts, and a larger chair. Picture four: 6 different treasure chests which are just too big but will work as clue markers in Rangers of shadow Deep

Had fellow villager Chris over because he wanted to relearn #BloodBowl, not having played it since the 90s.

Me: Humans
Him: wood elves.

Blood Bowl 7s pitch with shiny painted humans and boring Grey wood elves Same pitch but now with one elf holding my ball, heading towards my end zone Second attempt at me scoring, oh my guys lying down so that will not be good Nope this is definitely not good because now my old group has ruled skull and skull and the ball has been knocked loose. 2nd touchdown

Final night of the second rookie #bloodbowl7s league.

I sent in my halflings to get bullied some more, and then I tallied the scores and handed out the trophies and awards.

Winners in alt text.

Also, never make anyone go home […]

The winners Laurens with Paper Armour; Wooden Spoon for Patrick; Fan favourite (most fouls) for Erica, who got a boot trophy; Alex with Favoured of Khorne (most casualties) even though he brought dorfs and should be murdered in his sleep, who got a rat ogre; Michiel with favoured of Nuffle, tournament winner, who got a khemri team; Captain Christmas the halfling hero, a ball token, and a plexiglass trophy in the shape of a seeblatt with a crown and 'mid table royalty' etched into it Skaven vs haflings, which did not end Well for the latter, and halflings vs amazons which did work well Pictures of people looking intent at table tops for a game of blood bowl
