Well.....she probably won't be wanting to return home, then.

As a father of two daughters, a reminder of our own, hard won freedom.

For some reason it made me think of this......

You wouldn't get any nonsense dress codes for the FOG MeG, DBMM nationals.

I should send 'em a picture of Lee in a typical game!

Having showered and wearing clean fitting clothing would be a start for some.

As a hillbilly I am often required to wear shoes in upscale restaurants.

I am deeply shocked !  That as a hillbilly you go to restaurants 

I thought you just walked out on your porch, shot the nearest Squirrel with a .22 and prepared dinner. For special occasions you went into the woods with your Dawg and shot a white tail buck.

As in the song by Lord Have Mercy on a Country Boy- Josh Turner

Well, I grew up wild and free
Walkin' these fields in my barefeet
There wasn't no place I couldn't go
With a 22 rifle and a fishin' pole

Sorry d'Guy , I couldn't resist this as you neatly walked into it. 

Mark

Shooting squirrels from a porch (or bedroom window) with a .22 rifle does not make one a hillbilly but more a conscientious citizen. (especially when the little b*stards are using power tools in your loft  )

Used to be 6d a tail, so my father-in-law tells me...

I should have explained, I go in to deliver the squirrels.

I bet they taste like chicken. 

Cheers - Phil

Always a good bet, Phil, but more like greasy pork!

So....much tastier than chicken then, Bill ? 

Cheers - Phil (Who has never eaten rabbit, venison, rat, flying rat (feral pigeon  ) or larks' tongues in aspic.) ....At least... as far as he knows.)

Venison, well prepared, is gorgeous. Rabbit is an acquired taste. But pigeon, cooked at a Michelin starred restaurant in France many years ago, nearly killed me. The most violent food poisoning I have ever experienced. Never again!

Chess:

IGO-UGO - so old-Skool.
Unpainted miniatures - come on guys, a little effort wouldn't hurt.
Fixed army lists - where's the fun in that.
Don't even get me started on the terrain - no cover, no rivers, no woods - who in their right mind would want to conquer this land.
On that subject, what about some ranged combat, it's all melee with a ridiculous charge bonus of "attacker can't lose".
Always the same scenario.
Not supportive of multiplayer, big battle or skirmish variants.

So True, although is the best strategy game I have found for free to use to my iPhone . (That is not too complex / has graphics so small you need an electron microscope to see them )
