香港垃圾會東北前期撥款交足戲

6/27/2014香港垃圾會通過新界東北發展前期工程撥款。

這一場戲各方面都交足戲。之前好似大纜都搞唔埋,又衝擊又拉布,吳亮星扮手騰腳震,黃毓民扮大花面,其它泛民就扮梅香二幫。在外邊的傻仔觀眾入左鏡做臨記幫人抬轎都唔知。

齣戲演到第三幕,各幕後老細叫夠鐘見好即收,留番口碑同叫座力待談收地賠償再玩過。

第三幕劇本寫得好。首先粗口教主發難結果當然就是想主席趕他出場。之後就讓各泛民議員表演向幕後金主交代,到最後要表決時,全體泛民特意離場抗議,讓剩下的建制派以大比數通過議案。這一場戲各方面非常合拍大家落力演出。人人都可以向幕後金主有交代。唯一蝕底收不到戲金的出長毛。他這四星期的皇家飯食得貴左少少。

其實如果泛民真正想拉布至少可以玩多幾日,但收到order要收工,無法啦。不過集體離場抗議等政府議案可以通過 這條橋已經用得太多,觀眾眼睛是雪亮的,再用就會穿崩。下次應該玩逐個抬走這一招。

整齣戲演出最差的是主席吳亮星 。口窒窒,手震震。以前跑馬地有個故事,有一場幕後內定一個新牌仔騎師爆冷,同場由大師傅的大熱馬揹飛,開跑後新牌仔隻馬推極都唔去,後面的大師傅們要拉馬拉到幾乎停。突然新牌仔聽到後面蹄聲大作,眼尾見到大師傅的馬如飛殺上,新牌仔心急之下竟然連馬鞭皆跌落,心想這次慘了,累幕後輸大錢,自己不知會怎個死法。跟著聽見旁邊大師傅鞭如雨下。新牌仔心想這次死了!但怪事發生了!新牌仔的馬突然有如神助大步衝前竟然奪冠。原來大師傅打的是新牌仔隻馬。

星哥就如這個新牌仔,雖最後套戲都叫做演出成功,但就要各泛民出手幫到出面,下次再有大龍鳳,應該換入卿姐壓場。

Box art of Charles Kibler, George Parrish Jr.

From the hay day of Avalon Hill, one of its best box arts, Turning Point : Stalingrad.
The empty eyes, the weary face of a German soldier amid the rubble of Stalingrad under a crimson sky is story telling . Seldom is the individual face expression being put on wargame box art. This is a rare box art showing the face expression of an unknown participant of the battle.
 Around more or less the same time another game from AH,  Russian Front.
The box art captured the expectation of victory on the face of the soldier campaigning alongside a panzer column on the endless steppes of Russia. Veteran wargamers may find the two Stukas quite familiar, they appeared in AH's Third Reich Box Art.
The artists of the box art:
Turning Point : Stalingrad - Charles Kibler, George Parrish Jr.
Russian Front - Charles Kibler, George Parrish Jr., Neil Zimmerer

Avalon Hill was acquired by Hasbro. Many of these excellent games were out of print.
