Fall just around the corner.

Ah, autumn is near...my favourite season. As a kid, fall always excited me because of the new school year, Halloween, etc. Even as an adult, it continues to appeal to me. I like the weather, the changing colours and dropping of leaves. As a teacher, I still get excited for the new school year, but five months in I look forward to the end of June.
I Just got back from Germany with loads of boardgames. I had taken a few months off from collecting handheld video games. I'm gong to pick it up again.
I'm going to concentrate on one or two "big" games (ones that fetch a bit on ebay ) and a few bargains, each month.
LEDs and VFDs here I come!

Hi LEDFreak,I'm absolutely in that same mood.It has that little melanconic taste that makes me the favourite season. As you said the colours,the smells,even the whather and the days that gets shorter but are still warm enough to be enjoied.If I don't recall wrong even Dan is a BIG board games collectors as he has a thousand plus of them!! Shocked

As for the led and vfds let me know your eBay name so not to harrase you on some of the games that you might be wanting,(fair game on those that I want Wink

)

Tank girl? That'd be cool... I'd probably like that more than Peach. Mr. Green

She's with y-bot from the DP forums... Is that Toby? I get the real and screen names of everyone confused/forgotten a lot. Rolling Eyes

I think her name is Jeanne or something along those lines...

Rick Weis sounds familiar... And I've met so many 'Johns' it's hard to keep them straight... If they've been to CGE, I've probably run into them before at the least...

Well, the first thing I thought of was a reference to the movie Tank Girl based on a comic book of the same name...
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114614/

But, since that's a kind of obscure mid-90's movie, the term might mean something completely different to other people... Rolling Eyes
