Retro Toy Soldiers for sale

I admit it.... I melted all my best toy army men when I was a kid. What an idiot I was! But I must admit, it was really fun. I think I was addicted to melting my plastic army men. It all starts with just one melted soldier and then before you know it you have a giant green puddle of melted plastic on your patio, dad never liked that for some reason.

Now it's time to make up for that mistake. Let the Loyal Robot track down all the toy army men you lost (or melted) as a kid.

Of course, I never did this PERSONALLY, but if I had it might have looked like this:

 

Beware of "Bumblers"

One of the key precepts of the game "Diplomacy" is "Beware of Bumblers!"

If you find that someone just writes down orders wrong, and makes mistakes, at key moments, they may in fact be an indiot.

But they also may be clever enough to be faking it.

Which brings me to this guy.  He "bumbled" the housework, by answering a "phone" (actually a hot iron), putting it to his cheek and ear.

Then he tried to run to the kitchen and hit the edge of the door straight on, further damaging himself.

A small price to pay for getting to say, "I'm off housework!  I'm just no good at it!"

Beware of bumblers, ladies. And, gentlemen, watch a true master at work, and learn.

Nod to Angry Alex.
