I've people ask if something had died in there after leaving the bathroom, but I've never had anyone call the cops.

There's a farside where a buzzard tips his hat and says toward an open outhouse, "so sorry sir, I thought something had died in there"

One of my six billion projects is making a new shadow box for some of my older minis to replace the one I've had for the past thirty-plus years, since it's too small for the stuff I want to display.
At work recently, we got in a pallet of stuff that had a piece of 48" x 40" 1/8th inch wooden laminate laid over the top of it. Most of the surface is kinda crappy and slightly banged up, but there's enough good surface area for me to cut out a usable piece for the back wall of the shadowbox...
One of the few benefits of working at that crappy factory aside from free toothpaste is decent access to wood and cardboard.

To be fair, he DID say things that could get him labeled as a terrorass.

We've had conversations about the similarities of our respective work places, so it is no big surprise for me to say That sounds a lot like where I work.

Having a description of the wood laminate you described, I have to ask, did you consider the artistic value of distressed wood?

On the subject of the wood, the shadow box is meant to showcase the figures I'm displaying, so I'm using nice new boards and a somewhat dark stain on them in order to make it plain enough to fade into the background.
I had seen a similar display case made with printouts of dungeon images glued to the back wall in order to make the figures on eack compartment look like they were in different scenes (and was contemplating carving the whole thing with a brick pattern to look like castle walls in addition to painting the back so that the whole thing looked like one large castle with each compartment a different room) but in the end I decided to go with a plain look for it to better match the rest of the room.

I don't know what they're saying but they look good and sound good doing it.

Superman didn't need to damage the train. He could have moved the man out of the way. Sheesh.

Blackrat, I was reading about Estonia. They're language is similar to Finnish. Could you speak with one and understand each other?

No, not really. There are a lot of words that are nearly the same, but the intonations and flow of speech is quite different. The languages are about as close to eachother as French and English.
