Games Cheese Shop

One of the more bizarre ideas we had when trying to come up with a name for this forum was Games Cheese Shop, partly an ironic stab at cheesy GW has become lately and also a reference to the Monty Python 'Cheese Shop' sketch. But what would happen if a GW store really was like that ...

[a small Games Workshop store some where]
[the staff member stands alone in the shop behind the till]
[a customer walks in]

Customer: I was sitting at home reading R A Salvatore's The Crystal Shard, book one of the Ice Wind Dale Trilogy, when I decided I'd like to purchase some scale figurines for wargaming and tabletop roleplaying games.

Staff: Come again?

Customer (in a stupid voice): I want to buy some miniatures!

Staff: oh right ... I thought your where complaining about the fact I've been playing the same middle-of-the-road-rock compilation album over and over for the last 3 weeks

Customer: No .... I can put up with that for now

Staff: yes I love Blink 128

Customer: ... er ... yes ... I came here to buy some miniatures

Staff: Well you've come to the right place this is the best miniatures shop in the district

Customer: really?

Staff: yes

Customer: Well I'd like to buy some Drow since I've been reading  R A Salvatore

Staff: Sorry we don't do Drow

Customer: ok then ... Dark Elves will do

Staff: Ah well, Dark Elves have been on order for two weeks, I was expecting them this morning

Customer: How about High Elves?

Staff: Sold out I'm afraid

Customer: Wood Elves?

Staff: No

Customer: not my day is it ... do you have any Dwarfs?

Staff: won't be in until Tuesday

Customer: Hmm ok ... Halflings?

Staff: no

Customer: (sigh) Gnomes?

Staff: no

Customer: Goblins?

Staff: no

Customer: Orcs?

Staff: Orcs or Orkz?

Customer: eh?

Staff: Fantasy or 40K?

Customer: Fantasy please

Staff: sorry I don't appear to have any Fantasy Orcs sir

Customer: ok I'll buy some 40K Orkz then

Staff: don't have any 40K Orkz either

Customer: Hmm I see ... well what about Half Orcs?

Staff: no

Customer: Hobgoblins?

Staff: no

Customer: Ogres?

Staff: no

Customer: Trolls?

Staff: no

Customer: Giants?
Staff: no

Customer: Minotaur?

Staff: no

Customer: Beastmen? Lizard Men? Rat Men?

Staff: ah! we do have some Skaven!

Customer: Ok then, I'll have a few Skaven

Staff: They are bit miscast

Customer: oh I don't mind cleaning them up a bit

Staff: They're a bit more miscast than you can clean up

Customer: really?

Staff: oh yes they are quite miscast

Customer: Can I see them?

Staff [bending down behind the till] oh! they've been sent back to the supplier!

Customer: Skeletons?

Staff: no

Customer: Zombies?

Staff: no

Customer: Necromancers?

Customer: Giant Rat?

Customer: Squats?

Staff: no

Customer: Ok lets keep this simple ... can I have some Space Marines?

Staff: not much call for them around here

Customer: Not much call for them? It's the single most popular army in the world!

Staff: Not here

Customer: and what is the most popular army around here?

Staff: Tau

Customer: Tau?

Staff: Yes number one best seller

Customer: and do you have any?

Staff: [looks around the shop] nnnnnnnn ... nnnnnnnn....no

Customer: not much of a miniatures store is it?

Staff: it's the best in the district

Customer: And what leads you to that conclusion?

Staff: well it's so clean

Customer: Well, it's certainly uncontaminated by miniatures

Staff: you havn't asked me about humans yet ...

Customer: and would it be worth it?

Staff: maybe ...

Customer: SHUT THAT BLOODY BLINK 128 UP!

[the music stops]

Customer: ok I'm game ... do you have any humans?

Staff: ... er .... no

Customer: No, that figures. It was pretty predictable, really. It was an act of purest optimism to pose the question in the first place. Tell me something, do you in fact have any miniatures at all?

Staff: yes

Customer: Now I'm going to ask you that question once more, and if you say 'no' I'm going to shoot you through the head. Now, do you have any miniatures at all?

Staff: no

[The Customer pulls out a gun and shoots the staff member through the head]


Please note this is not a stab at the staff who work in GW stores ... ok thats a lie
