And dealing with me.

Don't forget the rock music and D&D.

He certainly doesn't have the time to be employed full-time what with all the war-stoking, dinosaur fossil burying, pornographing and etc

Look, I'm TRYING, okay?

The devil is a part-timer!

I always took it to be a catch-all term for "person or thing of the same name" regardless of which came first.

So technically it could be either way and not be wrong, but it is more apt to be Kalidor's example.

one that has the same name as another; especially : one who is named after another or for whom another is named

I think the official meaning is that a namesake is the person or thing that is named after something else. So the USS Kalidor would be Kalidor's namesake

I thought it was either?

It is very irritating that no one seems to agree on whether the word "namesake" refers to the thing that came first or the thing that came second.

I'd like it, but I really don't have the cash or the justification.

Anyone still need a Chaos on Velocitron set? Found one at TRU today...

He REALLY likes blowing stuff up.

G1 Scattershot's 3rd mode gimmick?

Nothing can be more awkward than the crotch rubsigns.

well, they had to go somewhere.

TR Quake's shoulder symbols are very awkward looking

..er myself.

Couldn't say it bett.....

You just don't appreciate the speed of a solid state drive until you have to use an old laptop with an old spinning drive

If there's at least one, you can army-build.

Are there even enough toys of him to collect?

A nerd.

Speaking of, what do you call someone who collects toys of the Marvel character The Collector?

What about people who collect the "Die Hard" movies?

A lot of the die hard collectors don't need to be louder...

@Nevermore Benbot means "amped" as in excited. I believe the term is shorthand for (a sound) amplifier.

Or is "shorthand" a synonym for "amputated"?

Is "amped" shorthand for "amputated"?

I am amped! But I also have standards.

I consider Thew to basically be the model toy collector. We should all aim to be so amped about the thing we collect.

And some people are just whiny jerks who like to complain about stuff and don't realise that, so will invent irrational grievances to fuel that need.

A lot of toy collectors don't seem to get that the things the collect are toys.and have unrealistic expectations of what's doable in a modern retail environment. You're not going to get a $100 figure's worth of parts and paint for $20 or less and gimmicks are needed tomake the toys actually, you know, fun.

Not necessarily. With the right condiments, they can taste surprisingly nice.

I think most toy collectors are bitter in some form.

...or maybe I'm the bitter one?!  Oh no.

And I don't even mean that everyone should love it all. But it does seem to bring the angrier ones in from the lurking.

It's these reveals that always remind me how exceptionally bitter a large portion of toy collectors are on other forums.

SDCC toy reveals make adults happy by telling them what they can get eventually. Kids don't care what they can get eventually, you make them happy by getting them whatever's available now.

They exist, they just don't show them at SDCC because they assume that the adult fanbase doesn't care about them.

On SDCC stuff...I'm disappointed, but not surprised, at the lack of the actual KIDS toys among all the toys for us old men

SSA response? "How would we know to un enroll you if you don't tell us?"

I'm supposed to un-enrolled in Medicare at the end of the month (36 months post-transplant), but I'm getting a bill for next quarter's coverage.

I would LOVE to have ONE THING done correctly and promptly by the Social Security Administration
