I think there is probably an easier explanation and it involves you not having as great a memory as you think. :(

If you had said that, would you actually admit to it?  For the record please post 10 other things you wouldn't admit to on Languish.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I wouldn't admit to having shot Kennedy. :whistle:

In a bizarro world where I like Ayn Rand and said she pissed lemonade, sure, why not?

Honey, that doesn't even make any sense. :console:

Oh, Raz, you'll need to update the descriptor. Today, I finally mailed off my paper work to rejoin the Democratic Party. :yeah:

Disgusting.

I would vote for a non-disgusting party but that would involve throwing my vote away :(

But that would involve throwing his vote away.

I've never paid much attention to Warhammer, least of all the novels, because the setting is so silly and cranked up to 11ty-11, I don't see how it can work as a setting for a proper story.

Someone on EUOT suggested the Ciaphas Cain books as a good jumping on point, and I picked up the first one as eBook (For the Emperor). I'm in chapter 1, but basically this is Flashman/Blackadder in WH40K, no? (Not complaining - I think this is a way you can make it work.)

The Genevieve trilogy is quite good.

Well, worry not, Ed. In their infinite wisdom, Royal Mail decided that when I paid the increased postage for transatlantic mail (as well as put their air mail label on it), that I probably just wanted to send the letter to my return address. Air mail prices to send myself a letter from Mayfair to Islington. <_<

So for now, still a Republican.

Haha

The first book arrived. Objective Ponyri: The Defeat of XXXXI. Panxerkorps at Ponyri Train station.

It's only about 177 pages in a very quality layout. It focuses on one of the two decisive engagements (Ponyri, the other Olkhovatka) on the ignored northern salient operation of 9th Army. High quality actual german aerial recon photos at the time of the operation. Layed out in a nice coffee table book format. Just wonderful.
