I got into a conversation with my wife just the other day on my collection. I went into Target and saw a buttload of Joes that I already had but I coulda picked up one or 2 more. I passed on them and walked out the door.
Got into the car and wife said "didn't find anything?" I told her yeah.. I coulda bought a few figs but passed because I already had a squad of them. "SQUAD?" she said! I said yeah.. 5 of the same troops. She totally wigged on me. I told her to calm down because I wasn't like some folks who make 6 figures a year and don't have a wife or children. Then she asked "When is enough gonna be enough?" I didn't answer that question and changed the subject.
But my fellow Tankers: "WHEN IS ENOUGH GOING TO BE ENOUGH?" I mean what are we gonna do with all these collectibles in the future besides stare at them and eventually sell them or they will become GARAGE SALE material when we are dead and gone? No... I refuse to stop collecting, but are we ever gonna come to an end of this? Are we gonna be on the Tank and Ebay when we are 70 and still complaining about Joes and other things we can't find. Damn.. shoulda started a new thread!
