in ancient times these kind of elaborate figurines were available only to the nobility and other members of the elite, whereas today anybody with a six-figure disposable income can afford to build a Warhammer army.

Aw man why did you have to show me that? Now I’m half convinced that the maya empire were started by a small group of 4channers that were sent back in time….

@rikyrah:
I just saw grandma’s airbnb in the last thread, so sweet. My gram fixed a big pitcher of tea every morning that sat on the counter all day. Unsweetened, brewed with mint. So refreshing over a ton of ice on a hot day.

I’m proud to say I know all the lyrics to Tom Paxton’s Marvelous Toy. My wife was not impressed. Paxton is under appreciated as a song writer IMHO.

I’ve come to really like Rick Astley. He peaked early in life and seems resigned to the fact that he’ll never again reach the heights of his late ’80s career, but he seems to have a good sense of humour about it and is just kicking back and enjoying life. Other singers from the era (*cough* Morrissey *cough*) have turned into real dickheads.
Dave Grohl seems to be a mensch too. Good on him.

@Splitting Image: the definitive Rick Astley call out….

Incredibly choreographed historical action figures come to life opening sequence for Titus.

I love Dave Grohl. That is all.

@Splitting Image: yeah, his set at Glastonbury this year was great. And I never knew he played drums.

Paxton’s grandson has real stage presence for someone that young.

Damn it I play Warhammer with a nice middle class disposable income, guilty as charged.

@Pete Downunder: My recollection is that he was huge in the 60’s and many of the big named folk artists (Kington Trio, PPM, Judy Collins) performed his songs. I don’t know if he is still appreciated today.

@Kathleen:
Remember him the same way. He seems a likely participant in those monstrous PBS pledge drives which always include Peter Paul and Mary (even if they’ve passed on).

All aspects of this post are awesome.
I now imagine some teenage noble saving up money to buy more figurines, maybe as a Mayan version of a Dungeon Master in Mayan D&D.
And that Foo Fighters-Rick Astley video is exactly what I needed this morning. They all seem to be having a great time.

@NotMax:
I watched that sequence repeatedly. It was just so incredibly done.
Actually, that entire movie was amazing. Excellent performances and some genuinely surreal visuals.
And also extra helpings of Goth Pie.

Yeah. Good ol’ Crackhammer 40k…
