I'm appearing here all week.....

I'd never painted a camel before until recently.

Using Caesar figures, I began with a 12 camel unit of Shasu nomads for my Bronze Age forces. Immediately I went to the Mahdist armies started a few years ago & put on hold. Using several great HaT sets, I added a 10 camel unit of Taaishi, a further 10 camel unit of Beja before turning to the Egyptians. I'm looking at 8 camels for the Egyptian camel Corps. 8 more camels to paint.....

I was beginning to find painting camels to be tedious before I realised I was over the hump.

Love that movie, especially the takeoff on old movie cliches.

So do I. For some reason the commercial is usually deleted on TV broadcasts. BTW: Can you remember the whole spiel?

According to what I have seen of the archaeological record I don't think the camel was domesticated back in the bronze age. The first people I know of to ride camels were the Aramaeans who overran the Middle East back in the 10th century B.C..

Re: I'm appearing here all week.....

I'm disappointed my joke in the OP has met with no response. I'd try another "camel joke" but I'm dry.

However, if this is how my humour is treated on the forum I may have to desert you.

I would say that was Just Deserts, you can lead a camel to water but you cant make it drink

I'd rather have just dessert, thank you very much. No soup or salad or main course needed.

And I always thought the saying was, "You can lead a camel to water, but you can't stop it drinking just about anything that is in liquid form." Even some desserts.

The correct quotation is the following:

"A Camel can take you to water but a Pencil must be led (lead)"

Best regards,

It could also be "A camel can take you to water, but it might not leave you any."

Face it, Paint Dog, these jokes are going on by themselves. And definitely your posts are appreciated!

I've seen that kind of camel before; it usually travels in packs....

What's more dangerous than a locked room full of angry Narns?

One angry Narn, with the key!

Old 'Babylon 5' joke, got nothing to do with camels but I liked it.
