I'll say it Sub, before anyone else says it harshly. The Romans had legionaries and the French have legionnaires.

Pretty harsh on the French to say they're all diseased. I mean more than average maybe, but not all of them  ;)

This is nearly as good as the Ancient Egyptian slam.

"Yo mamma's so stoopid that she pointed to a jakal headed statue and said to me 'what dat?' an' I said 'Anubis' and she said 'wot was wrong with the old bis?' "

Surely "Legionary" is correct because "Legionnaire" is French?

I'd assume so - they don't even know what entrepreneur means after all

Ken

Wow, I leave for a few to fix some missed primer spots and this is what happens. Don't you guys have toy soldiers to paint?  :D

Techno

Nope......Got far too many to make.
Painting's something that happens to other people.  :'( :'(

Why don't Pendraken have like two or more sculptors? You seem to have to make almost everything

Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

The others must not have enough arms to type and sculpt at the same time. I imagine Techno looks a bit like this

weirdly this also came up in the same image search



Not sure whether it turns me on or scares me. Fairly sure i must be sad to have found it at all though.

Interesting the the two have historically called syphilis "the French disease" and "the English disease". Even odder that neither blamed the Americans, though it came from there.

As diseases can't be caused by clean people like wot us are, it stands to reason they must be caused by dirty foreigners, innit? ;)  That was probably the Americans' reasoning, though with "gosh darn it" instead of innit. It's an internet fact which i just made up that 55% of all Americans have fake noses due to syphilis.

Amazed it was never called the Runcorn disease  :D
