It's gets us in trouble sometimes. Like this example that you will appreciate. We spell your "catalog" as catalogue. Which meant that my instant stalking on eBay for years was completely ineffectual because of a simple, superior spelling.

But yes, it was an awesome time that I just didn't even know how to process until it was all said and done. You're always welcome in St. Pete, my man!<br /><br />@Jack: Thanks for the Ultraman model kit!!

My hobby and sleeping have been eternally battling for my Friday nights and lately sleeping's been losing.<br /><br />Yeah, Capt. R I hear you about feeling alienated. I ain't gonna lie and say one day you'll find like minded individuals who will appreciate you and share your interests and love for whatever combination of plastic, paint and/or electricity consumes your spare time. But I've learned your chances do get better the longer you keep looking.<br /><br />Blogging I see as the great humiliator-it teaches us humility by introducing us to its twin sisters obscurity and love. It drops us off at obscurity's house and leaves us there for a while. We think we'll find fame inside but it ends up being kind of lonely and dark. And just when I feel like leaving I always find that I love doing it too much, this talking to myself in the dark. I've always been a loner and a weirdo, though, so maybe that's just me.<br /><br />Thanks for the link, Myles. I have some thoughts about the show to put over on your article and will be doing so soon.Evil King Macrocranioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01693211146604544544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37301459.post-45603881338053198902010-11-22T11:01:47.845-08:002010-11-22T11:01:47.845-08:00Nice follow-up podcast!

Hope you're caught up on sleep by now. ;)<br /><br />I linked your podcast on the RJ website too. <br /><br />I often have discussions about collecting and keeping your collection hidden versus sharing. I just can't understand the gratification that could be had with having a collection but keeping it hidden from the world. Just my 2 cents.Kingboy Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37301459.post-61902890020463712662010-11-20T21:49:13.397-08:002010-11-20T21:49:13.397-08:00Showing off a collection is a funny thing though. ...Showing off a collection is a funny thing though. More people will MOCK you for having a collection of neat stuff than won't.<br /><br />And its worse on me since I collect a bit of this, that, and the other as opposed to being a superfan of any one thing.<br /><br />Hell, the self loathing of being a geek and having a collection has had me sell or put quite a bit of mine in storage tubs of things I will also sell and when people do seem interested in my stuff I get embarrassed over it.<br /><br />I do go the blog thing, though both of mine are sort of barely followed, visited, or commented on so it generally feels like I am talking to myself most of the time, and I feel like a whore whenever I link it...<br /><br />Its cool to see there are folks out there socializing and having meetups and such though.Captain Rufushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00296697477771399357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37301459.post-9106467209120955622010-11-20T14:07:56.185-08:002010-11-20T14:07:56.185-08:00I reiterate that, should you ever find yourself in...I reiterate that, should you ever find yourself in orlando, my home and collection are open to you. <br /><br />Don't sell yourself short on your own creative enterprise. Your exhaustive research makes you something of a scholar in the roboplastic world. Your hyperbolic preambles are well-crafted, amusing hooks that draw us into the world of the robot historian. If I still lived in south florida, I would be pushing you to collaborate with me on video podcasts about toy robots, with creatures and costumes. You, a slave to demented, information-hungry beings, would be a prisoner-historian, forced to sift through all roboplastic data on this earth, cataloging your segment of earth knowledge, one of many such prisoners on one of many such worlds. You would be the marquis de sade of roboplasticos.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15755470924095119486noreply@blogger.com
