I always wondered what that zip on Az’s head was for…
I don’t know how I didn’t notice the button eyes these past few weeks.
Hey Az, welcome to Justin’s & Dragins lol
Do I get a customised D20 and shiny head to kiss for good luck? 😀 Az
OMG!!! I hadn’t noticed it until now!!!
So very true
That brings up a good question – where the #$%& is @warzan , lately? I’d like to get started on that Ste. Nazaire project again if that’s still on the cards. 😀
Quit it @caesar! People are going to realise! 😛 Man you captured my cold dead murderous eyes so well though <3 Much love, Az
Also just realised that I’m not sure I’m comfortable with @warzan being inside me… he should at least have bought me dinner first! Az
Hah …. 😀 …. *still laughing
“oh, sweet Nurgle”
😀
maybe the line should have been : “Oh sweet papa Nurgle … ”
*grin*
Zoinks Scoob! It was old man Warren all along!
And he would have gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for those meddling . . . oh never mind. You know the rest. 😀 😀 😀
at least he didn’t fasten up the back?
