Funny GB's
Posted by jwb on Tuesday, April 11, 2006 1:05 PM
I was looking through the variety of GBs over on the GB thread. It's amazing the variety- age, period, region, that I saw. So I wonder what is the most bizzare group build you can think of?

My entry-

The "married with 2 kids/likes Spam for breakfast/watches the Stooges/secretly uses wife's wooden spoons as back scratchers" group build.

LOL

Wonder what the kit criteria would be?

Only on Tuesday.

And archangel571, she knows. Thus the large supply of cheap wooden spoons. LOL

 Spam, scrambled eggs with jalopeano and ketchup on white toast,  a warm beer and a cup a coffee to wash it all down.  The breakfast of champions.

No, no, no, you've got it wrong. First you dice the Spam, dice an onion, dice the Jalapenos, scramble your eggs with the above in them, then you put the mixture in a large flour tortilla, cover it with shredded cheese, a little sour cream and then drown it in Pace Picante Sauce-Extra Hot. Have a shot of Tequila to go with it and a cup of coffee. Thats the breakfast of champions. Are you sure you're not a yankee?

Always use the wooden spoon below the belt line and the metal spatula above the belt line. Never use kitchen utensils to scratch with when you have company, and refrain from all scratching (as hard as it may be) when the preacher comes to visit.

I'm from Montana, which when I went down South, was thought to be someplace in or around Canada.

Ate Spam cold, with peanut butter for 20 years until I married into a family of Cajuns.  Now I eat spam mixed with all sorts of colorful, spicey stuff that would make a six day old dead skunk taste great.

Amen to using a wooden spoon below the belt line.  Used a metal one once, and only once, that metal gets kinda cold.

However, when around Cajuns, those wooden spoons have a nasty tendancy to collect pepper residue on them, which when applied to sensitive areas of the lower body, will creat some real discomfort much greater than the itch that was intended to be scratched.

Added to the rules for the GB. No Cajun wooden spoons will be allowed for below the belt use.

Another idea for a funny group build:

"I filled this model with brown gravy and now it's covered in ants so I gave it to my Aunt Louise".

My apologies to FSM for cluttering their wonderful forum with non-sense. ;-)

Spam is still sold?  And even worse still consumed?

Yeaaaaaah buddy! :-)

Had some last week. Fried up, it's great for breakfast. Good on sandwiches, too.

The doc says I shouldn't eat it much though, because of the high sodium. So I only indulge every few months.

That got me thinking. . .we have the young guns GB's so that which you propose is not too far fetched.
I was thinking of participating in the "gotta loose 20 pounds and sodium restricted diet" GB. Maybe if there is time I could see about the "That ain't hot salsa eaters" , or "Guys who's wives tell them there are 'gross' (for just being guys)" GB's
BTW, I have been in the deep south and I believe it starts right around Toledo Ohio. . .

Yeah, when you think about it, the purpose of a group build (or one of them) seems to just find some commonality and have fun. So I guess any idea- even if off-kilter- could be fun.

Maybe a "We don't need no stinking badges" GB? LOL

Hehehehe...... maybe a GB for really large dimension builds..... the "Run! It's coming this way!" GB.

Speaking of losing weight & health, my doc told me I should cut out fried foods and reduce my stress. I asked "Can I just cut out a whole lot of stress?" Smile [:)]

Sounds like we need a "Healthy Habits While Building Models" GB, where you cannot do the following while you build your model:

Cannot: drink alcoholic beverages, sodas, or any beverage containing caffine and surgar.
Eat anything that contains surgar, sodium (salt), carbs, calories, or had the "less than 1% of the FDA recomendations" on the label.  Sorry, but NO SPAM ALLOWED.
Smoke or chew tobacco.
Sit for peroids longer than two hours without getting up to stretch and do excersise.

You Can: drink bottled water.
Eat celery sticks, pine nuts, canned tuna, or apple slices.
Chew on a toothpick.
Walk on a treadmill.
Put in a "Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders Workout Video" in the DVD player in lue of the old "Victory at Sea" DVD.

Any takers?

Let us know how you do Scott.
I go to the bench to escape the rules of the world!
I may concede a little and be part of the "Don't eat the nacho's, I used putty instead of cheese" GB but that is as far as I go!

OK- if I put the "Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders Workout Video" on, there ain't gonna be any building, painting, sanding or gluing being done.

And my system rejects celery stick and pine nuts, unless there is a bacon chaser. LOL

Don't forget the cheese. . .celery stick with cheese and bacon wrapped around it. . .
Which brings me to my next point.
In all the reviews FSM has how many hours it took to complete a build, why not use beers?
"Man this thing was a bear,took me a six pack to just read the instructions. Got so fed up it took another to calm me down.
All in all this was easily a double 2-4. Recommended to only modelers with lots of drinking experience."
Ahh the truth wins out.
