 Dear Ceasar, how can I impress chicks with my toys...
I don't have any problems impressing them with my cars, clothes and money, but when I take them home to see my pride and joy collection, they seem uninterested. how can I make them see the plastic sexiness that they are?

oh my Lamour, your problem is one that has plagued the toy nerd for centuires....you do however seem to be on the right track...If I can misqoute him, wasn't it Scarface who said, "first you get the money, then you get the power, then you get the vinyl, then you get the womens....", something like that. Anyways the best advice I can give is to keep doing what you are doing, except when you bring them over to your spot...completeley ignore them and spend your time rearranging your toys...if she feels left out, have her make you a sandwich and compliment her features with some verbal bombs like "you have beautiful hair, it smells like fresh vinyl" or "thats a nice ______ blouse, thats the same color as my _________ skullbrain." If all goes according to plan, you should be throwing on side 2 of Led Zeppelin IV in no time.....that or Jim Browski by the Jungle Bros. always works for me....Hope this helps

 Toys
Ha -- I just ran into a problem where things were pretty hot 'n' heavy with this chick...then she came over and saw the shit I had and booked. So long to that one and no remorse, really.
Seeing "40 year old virgin" did have some lingering effects, although I have to say that I'd fall more into the category of the tattooed friend than anyone...still...it's hard to explain to someone why you pick the shit up, especially en mass.
For me, I'm pretty honest about it -- it's not the collecting standpoint but I just dig the wacked out design, colors and characters. Is there any difference of you paying $300 for a well sculpted vinyl figure as compared to $300 for an actual statue? Or photograph? Christ, people pay that much just for a meal out!
Look at it this way -- you're not buying trash like Hummels or creepy religious statues. Plus vinyl = hip. And you can have the girls sniff the vinyl, get high and then get down

That usually does the trick..... I love when I say to someone who is skeptical, "i can sell these three toys and pay my rent AND your rent for ther next 3 months",
Then I help them peel their jaw off the floor.....

See, I would think the immediate response would be: "You mean you coulda bought a Corvette but got these instead?"

I told the missus how much these figs cost, which she didn't believe. So I showed her some auctions and according to her we're idiots for paying that much. Oh and SB feels 'cheap' to her. pfft. sometimes I wonder how we're still together.

 out the door
well...it was the next day, so at least we got it on  so that kinda made it not so bad. There were some comments made, though, that had me sayin "kiss my Greek Ass", but hell, she played up bein' "underground" but that's all it was. Too normal looking back on it.
Now this new gal I'm seeing was more than cool with the toys AND brought me a comic book on our first date! I cooked dinner, she gave me a book about Deadman. Now that's how you start a good relationship!

My fiance loves all the toys. She has her favorites above her desk in our office/toy room. She doesn't seem too shocked at the prices (at least not anymore) as long as I pay my share of the bills & stuff. Plus - she's SUPER fuckin' hot and a fantastic drummer (she plays drums in my band).
neener neener!

My girly okay'd SDCC as part of our vacation! She also booked and paid for it for my birthday and I get to pick out a couple of toys to boot.
Without any of that I'm a lucky dog

hmmm... point taken. Tho I was tempted to buy this 10-inch glow in the dark Jesus statue at this gas station a couple of towns over. Bright green, too.
Still giggle 'bout that one a bit.
