First up, a shout out for Bringer of Victory. Nikephoros has been channeling his inner "Larry the Cable Guy" and gittin r' done on a series about getting into Warhammer Fantasy on the cheap. Here are the links, but please (pleaseplease) come back here and read the rest of this post.
Now back to the HoP. Today's little money saving gem may not be as awesome as only needing to spend 300 bucks on a fantasy army, but it is pretty nifty.
Right, so if you're like me, you have a big boy job where you really can't go into work with a bunch of paint on your hands and still expect to be treated like an adult.

| At some point you may be required to shake hands with someone. |
Which can be a problem if you're, say, trying to prime a bunch of your models. Sooner or later, your had is gonna end up in the line of fire. And when that happens, you've gotta like, wash your WHOLE hand. BOOOOO. Especially problematic if, say... you're using a spray can right before you hop in your car for the daily commute.
Personally, I like to solve problems BEFORE they happen. So maybe we can use some rubber gloves?
FUCK NO! jeez. Gloves cost money, man. It's like you don't even know what series this is all about. Lets do this for free.
Note: if anyone works at a place where they can get free, real rubber gloves, please don't tell us about it in the comments. I'm happy for you and stuff, but I don't care. At all. But feel free to say that this post is boss and cool.
Right, so we have a glove conundrum. What to do, what to do... If only there were some kind of free, readily available and completely disposable alternative that you probably already have lying around the house....
Just follow these simple steps and you'll be protecting your hands in no time!
1) But your hand in the bag.
2) Gather the loose bits together
3) Wrap the loose bits around your wrist and then tuck the ends in tight
4) Grab the thing you need to paint
5) Spray paint all up on that bitch/those bitches
Note: there is all kinds of paint on your bag/glove but none on your hand You can totally go nuts with it. No consequences!
6) remove the bag, and then admire how paint free your hand is.
It's super awesome! I mean, at some point, you almost have to buy groceries, so you'll have some of these laying around. If not, you can always grab waaaaay more than you need next time your out of Count Chocula. Plus, you can throw the bags away without feeling bad about it - you got two uses out of the thing! that's one more than normal!!
Note: If you're one of those people who uses those nifty tote bags in order to avoid using plastic, then good on you. But don't tell us about it in the comments. Again, I don't care.

So when i was prepping for this post, Dethtron thought up another great use for plastic bag gloves. And then I thought up even more! See if you can guess which one was Dethtron's while you enjoy this extra bit of info that takes this post from Gaming on a Budget to LIFE on a budget.
1) You can use your bag glove to pet a cat.
Super useful for people who are allergic... or like slightly tormenting animals that wake them up at all hours.
2) You can use your bag glove to maybe terrorize a different cat.
Maybe one that used to be a stray and isn't as cool about things as you'd like but goddammit you're gonna take a picture anyways.
3) You can use your bag glove to pick up cat poop.
For reasons that escape me. I mean it could be helpful someday. THIS WAS DETHTRON'S IDEA!
4) You can use a different bag glove to handle raw chicken.
Like, seriously, man... chicken is delicious but it is the absolute worst meat to touch.. And I can't stress enough how important it is that you don't re-use the cat poop bag for this.
5) And, finally, the old classic - Auto-erotic Asphyxiation!
I know it's not technically glove related, and I have to say that this isn't my scene personally, but hey man if it is.... just be careful.
