i'm a total whore for the something.... oh wait i've been up all night since hotrodd's birthday and i can't remember shit. the mutant evil and shit. those two horn things turn me into a..... mutant evil whore? i kid you not. hope i don't get arrested..................... EDIT: BTW: hottrod turned 35 yesterday!!!! YEAYYYYY!!!
I don't have any yet, I like some of them more than others and I would like to grab a couple, but I'm scared where it might lead.
35 eh? You kids and your new fangled toys. When I was a kid I was happy with a transparent fully articulated 8" figure with viewable internal organs or machinery and an array of interchangeable limbs and weapon attachments. Just the simple pleasures for me! 60 is the new 40, so by extrapolation, 35 is indeed the new 15. Plus, we all buy toys on here, so we are probably the new 12!
Happy Bday Hottrod. Mine is tomorrow, but I'll be spending it driving from IL to MN to attend a wake tomorrow evening. I do plan to make up for it on Saturday, though.
count you better watch out!!!!!!!!! some of these colors will blow your mind and you will be dreaming about them!!!!!!!!!! so Mutonismyfriend are you saying you are 60?? I hope I am still collecting when I am 60!!!!!!
Thanks guys and happy Birthday Yiminy...Kinda sucks you have/had to go to a wake so make sure you have a beer or 2 to make up for it!!-BTW sorry for your loss
Thanks Hottrod - I'm already back. 800 miles in 2 days plus 4 hours of wake. It was the Dad of one of my best friends so I had to go because I would do anything for my buddy. The wake and the funeral were at his (the Dad's) house - I actually lived there for a while long ago. The deceased was all laid out in the sunroom, which was kind of weird. There was wine and cheese in the next room, valet parking, and about 200 people. I met some interesting people like the head of MN Public Radio and the former police chief of Mpls. Anyway, the guy was 83, and as one lady put it as she drained her glass, "when you live to be that age the funeral should be a celebration of a life well lived".
Yeah I am 60, that's why you find me at all the shows down the front, rocking Nike SB's and Bapesta's and hanging out in da Hood with my homie Ramos. Right Ramos? No, I was just quoting an article I read saying 60 is the new 40. I'm older than Hotrod, but not that much older! My first toy collection piece was bought when I was real small in 1975, and is still one of the best things I own - plus, I kept the box and everything! ANal retentive sadster from an early age I guess.
I had started collecting when i was younger w/the Mazinger and Dragun mini diecasts but then GI Joe came out w/ action figures and it was all over then..Ive got almost every GI first issue toy made but theyre all stuffed in the attic somewhere..Havent seen them in years but heres my very fisrt figure-Dragun..Id went on haitus(hope thats spelled right) and my sister revived my collection bug last year-Ill dig the others out some other time-lol BTW-sorry to jump topic
