my " major award "

Posted by shapooky on Saturday, November 4, 2006 9:21 AM

i was surprised to find my name on the list of people who had won FSM's monthly sweepstakes. when i got a hold of the prize lady ( now there's a job ) at kalmbach , i found out that i won a year's subscription to FSM and a stug 3 from tamiya. imagine my surprise though when the package arrived and instead of the 1/35th scale model was the 1/48th version. i'm not ungrateful ( it's a good kit ) but i kept thinking of A Christmas Story when ralphie's dad got the leg lamp. however, with all the cats we have, i don't think i'll put it in the front window.

thank's for offering to take it off my hands, but apparently, my son feels he should relieve me of the burden. ( that's my boy! )
