Do Church mice talk to you about Cheesus?
(Early today: I have to take Herself shoe shopping, gawd help me. I'm driving as well, so I can't just hide in a nearby pub.)

You own personal cheeses[^], no less.

You took a Chancel with that one and it doesn't Altar the fact you fell right into my trap.

Oh pew
I may not be that good looking, or athletic, or funny, or talented, or smart
I forgot where I was going with this but I do know I love bacon!

word of advice: church mice make lousy pointing devices - too often moved by the holy spirit.

Oh God, not shoes. You realize of course that once she buys the shoes, she'll have to buy a new dress to go with them (which will take an ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing age), and then when you're drooling from boredom and not paying close attention she'll ask you the terrifying question:
"Does this dress make me look fat?"

Yoko Shimomura - Fight Against an Armed Boss[^]
No metal, rock, pop or electro this week.
Instead I have a soundtrack from the good old 16-bit era, Super Mario RPG on SNES
I tried the game on my SNES Classic Mini because I never played it back in the day, was surprised that it was a Square game (I'm a fan of the FF series), and I actually liked it enough to finish it in a few days of almost non-stop gaming.
The soundtrack isn't bad either, but this boss theme rocks!
And the main composer of the game is no other than Yoko Shimomura, who's also responsible for the awesome Kingdom Hearts and FFXV soundtracks!
Bonus: Ludópatas - Fight Against an Armed Boss (Super Mario RPG)[^]

I played WoW back when I was in college (and initially failed my master's because of it  )
Great soundtrack, I especially loved Sholazar Basin[^].
WotLK was the last one I played though, but the later soundtracks sound great too.

I am in another universe … sorry … Recently discovered this DM track from Bolt Thrower:
Bolt Thrower - Granite Wall - YouTube
Playing the whole album all the time … I don't mind at all that it was recorded more than 10 years ago …
Sounds like a masterpiece to me

Bolt Thrower is awesome!
I should really listen to it more often, but I somehow got stuck with the amazing Honour Valour Pride[^] album
|

Didn't hear HVP before, both albums are great indeed
- collecting my growing playlist: BT mixed with Asphyx, Kataklysm, Cataract, Vader …
(good for a few hours I guess …)

Asphyx is Dutch and when you look up the bands of current and former band members you're in for a world of death!
Pestilence, Hail of Bullets, Dead Head, God Dethroned... I even see some of those guys work(ed) with Sodom, Desaster and, yes, Bolt Thrower!
The Netherlands actually has a pretty good death metal scene with other acts such as Sinister, Infinited Hate, Houwitser, Altar...
Some of those, including Asphyx, have been around since the beginning of death metal and are worldwide death metal legends!
Our gothic metal is legendary as well, with acts such as After Forever, Within Temptation, and Epica...
The funny thing that the whole world listens to our metal music except the Dutch 
We Dutch are sometimes a little narrow-minded, so metal to us is "alternative" and "not for us", while other countries have our music on the radio
That's also the story I tell when once every few years everybody turns into a friggin patriot when the Dutch go to the (winter) Olympics and I'm not cheering.
I ask them why they aren't cheering for our legendary death and gothic metal and other bands that do pretty well internationally (our DJ's are also doing pretty well!)
Suddenly they're not so patriotic anymore.
True story, we're one of the least patriotic countries in the world (except when the Olympics are on, of course)
Anyway, give the Dutch music scene some love

Concerning indifference, good point indeed … In general, Dutch scene seems to be more interesting than Belgian/Flemish, where I think only Aborted jumps to mind … I know Asphyx for about 3 years now, and I am happy to own their 2 latest albums . Next to Epica and WT, also The Gathering is quite interesting, not to forget Sowulo … ,

I know you have more death metal bands than that, but I can't name a single one right now
I also think your black metal scene is (or was?) alive and kicking.
You (used to?) have Lugubrum[^], Wapenspraak & Drinkgelag[^], Theudo, Huldrefolk, Paragon Impure, Gotmoor...
Lugubrum is most notable though (and I just read, like 30 minutes ago, that Paragon Impure released a new album).
I also still have the first Huldrefolk demo, Lugubrum, Gotmoor, Grimfaug, and other Belgian black metal bands on CD

Very dark! Ok, Yoda, get yourself an other toast.
Meanwhile I have this[^], which also got a little too dark. The final coat of thinned black paint was supposed to emphasize the panel lines, not to tone down the entire model. Still, at least in bright sunlight it looks awesome,
The whole idea was to learn about some painting techniques for another model, and learn something I did. Unfortunately I must now build yet another model to hopefully get it right. Poor me.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Looks very good to me, well done!

Thanks. I would call it a lucky accident. This was a rehersal for a slightly bigger model that I don't want to mess up. When I go to the airfield, there will be a lot of bigger and far more expensive models, so I want it to look better than the others and actually have built it myself.
