I am surprised that someone like McDonalds haven't thought of this for their burger places..It would be a great selling point


Are you going to be bringing it to shows...You could be pioneers in the wargaming world and set up a Creche so people could look round the stalls in peace
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

We already have a creche - it's called "a fantasy participation game".  :D

Actually, that wasn't intended to be as snide as it sounded. I've heard several people who have run participation games at conventions grumbling that people dump their offspring on such games so that they, the parents, can wander off and do their own thing. And fantasy seems to be the genre that holds the kids' attention the longest.

I only know this because the English tried carboard castles in Wales in the 11th Century but switched to stone very quickly after 10 minutes in Wales

I must admit to doing something similar on the occasions the eldest has come to the shows with us.   :-[

It's also vulnerable to overactive kids who try and run through the walls...  :D

Just how much stationery are you having delivered?
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

It was Jiffy bags, so they come in massive boxes, each containing 2 or 3 smaller boxes of Jiffy's.

How do you get rid of Jiffies? I've got a whole stack sitting around that I've had from various companies. You can't shred 'em, they'd clog the machine. You can't just throw 'em in the bin - they've got my name and address on them. And I have no way of re-using them. So if anyone wants a batch of pre-owned Jiffies, or has a sound idea for disposing of them - now's your chance.

Applique Armor for combat vehicles. Considering the defense budget maybe the only think they are willing to spend on "our" boys.

The use of a black marker or ripping off the part with your address might solve your problem more quickly though.

Hertsblue

Most of the addresses are written directly on the envelope - and I don't trust black marker; there are ways of recovering text from obliteration in that manner.

I suggest making that part of the paper a firestarter for BBQs if marker + cutting is not safe enough for you.

If that still does not suit your needs the only thing I can suggest is a Plasma Arc Waste Disposal System. The USN just installed one for 34 Mills on their latest aircraft carrier. Not sure if this particular one complies with DoD5220.22-M but I believe it is as close as one can get.
