    I used to play with those little soldiers for hours as a kid. Didn't matter what they looked like or how much they cost my imagination did the rest. I probably had about 1500 I had LOADS and I'd put them on parade and everything. My parents would get mad because they'd find them all over the house. 2 man sniper teams hiding in the fruit bowl. Machine gun outposts in the grocery cupboard. Tanks camouflaged in a mountain of shoes. Man they were good days

      certainly with summer around the corner. you can get a magnifying glass from poundland too and go to town with a god like melting abilities on an entire epic battle squadron. Saves sitting down trying to burn ants or random words into the soles of your shoes I guess.
      While you're busy burning melting their faces off, grab a handful of those nutter, they're actually quite nice, and the larger nuts Ashens complained about is actually a welcome great for someone who's eating them because they contain peanuts.

    • @adamchmielewski6162
      @adamchmielewski6162 4 роки тому +8

      It’s an Anglo Saxon method of execution I think but I know it is called the blood eagle
      A sharp weapon is chopped through the spine while the victim is tied to the ground, the weapon is pulled down the spine splitting it in half, after that the ribs are then pulled out to resemble wings, (hence blood *eagle*) then the victim is tied to a pole or something then left to die. (I’m not sure but I think they got things thrown at them like eggs or tomatoes but I don’t know)

      Glad I'm not the only one here who has browsed the rather macabre articles of the internet, and thought "blood eagle" the when I saw that skeleton. It especially looks like he was blood-eagled because the front of his ribs are flattened/not there. Yeah, a bit dark...maybe that was a way for the underpaid makers to say take that? Or maybe they were just so generously literal as to make them seem authentically from hell.

I decided I was hungry so I went to the burger king across the street and bought a huge hamburger for the same price as those tiny bags of m&m's and everyone thought I was crazy for spending my money on a hamburger instead of those m&m's or a london coffee mug

      Actually, his wife hates him and his dog even left him.
      His children are frightened by his hook hand and the huge chunk of flesh missing from his right cheek, where a rabid vietnamese prostitute bit him, it got infected and had to be surgically excised.
      He now is stuck in a wheelchair due to a spinal injury and (just like the hero of "Born on the Fourth of July) he drinks too much and yells "erect penis! Erect fuckin penis!" at his female friends.

      You and a few friends who are also interested can come together and find someone willing to be the DM (Dungeon Master). He/She orchestrates meetups, And also is the creator of the story. The others in the group create a character (check out the players handbook in particular, or look up a guide online), and the DM puts them through the story they’ve created. That’s kinda how it works, the specifics are easy to find online, like how to be a DM, how to create a character, how to play, etc. Hope that helps in the slightest!

      Why would you want to listen to people conversing about random shit when you're already bored, knowing you're not going to be interested in every topic they end up discussing? I'd much rather just put on a playlist of normal Ashens videos and listen to him remark about crap or listen to a stream I've watched before, then be an audience member to other peoples conversations. It's like choosing to listen to talk radio when you have access to tons of much more directed and condensed interesting entertainment. I don't understand why some people find it more enjoyable to be an observer to other people's discussions then any of the other numerous things you could be listening to, but if you find it entertaining, power to ya, I just don't get it.

    Fun fact: the original point of M&Ms was for soldiers in warm climates who wanted to carry chocolate but couldn't because it'd melt. So the creator made them with the idea that if he encased bits of chocolate in candy shells they wouldn't melt and you could carry then anywhere.

      Smarties (Or Chocolate Beans as they were once called) were first produced by Rowntree's of York (England) in 1882. They are exactly the same principle, Same shaped hard candy coating with chocolate inside.... Sounds to me those M&M guys either copied or didn't realise the concept already existed.

    I have boiled and posed those exact model of skeletons. You have to affix them by holding them in position in cold water. My hands got quite messed up after doing like 150 or so. It was from a maddening skeleton army project where I planned to paint and prime a bunch of cheapo skeletons for a Warhammer fantasy army on a budget. I've painted quite a lot of them so far but the paint is peeling off, so I've decided to paint one at a time then go on to coating it in matte polyurethane. They're going to be so cool looking, like something that is actually worth a lot of money.
