The collected works of ScottyB

Stumbled upon this little (or rather large) piece of collectible this evening.

Awesome..

Some research later, I found out that only 250 were produced and all were sold. Shame. Though to be brutally honest, I can think of much more worthwhile ways to spend $400 odd. However, knowing me and my impulse buying on items like this, it would have ended up in the post on the way to me, with my bank balance taking an unnecessary dent. I guess its for the best that the stock had gone.

Or so one would think… the related items told a very different and an even more awesome prospect…

*sigh*

Too much to collect, not enough money to discard.

On a slightly more realistic note, I found out that the Superhero Squad collection I have recently purchased has (or is soon to be) expanded.. I have all of Marvel set 1 and Spiderman set 1. According to THIS SITE there is a SET 2 already out, and a third and fourth set in the pipeline for April and May! Thankfully they are little novelty items and affordable ones at that… I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for these little gems to appear in the shops. Starting my own little Marvel force here I am..

Roll on next month when I have an extra room to expand into and there’s somewhere to display all of this stuff!

Heeeey! Shoosh! Shhhhh… SHOOSH!

Usually the lead out of the majority of my sarcastically constructed sentences during phone conversations. Or any sentence for that matter. And a large percentage of comments in real life. The latter is less only because there is the added risk of physical repercussions.

The ability to be sarcastic over the phone will - eventually - prompt the ’shoosh’ response. Those that do not see eye-to-eye with sarcasm, or do not fully understand the true extent of its superiority to regular methods of conversation, will frequently be forced to fire a cold, cutting ’shoosh’ at the offender.

Serial offenders of sarcasm however, are conditioned to this response. They may even at times receive a ‘Shut it Scotty!’ or worse.. the dreaded ‘flipping-the-bird’ emoticon. These retorts are quickly brushed aside and the return to regular sarcastic programming is always imminent.

Confidence recharged, a barrage of sarcasm is always waiting just around the corner for its unsuspecting victim.

While the ‘Shoosh’ or the ‘Shut it Scotty’ are short-term solutions to this rapidly spreading problem, in the end, sarcasm will always win.

Sarcasm is a timeless classic, the craziest perspective and the the most muppet of the standpoints one can take.

With such a list of accolades, how could anyone be confused or offended by any of the forms and guises sarcasm comes in?

On a completely unrelated note; up until today, I never realised it was possible to be sexy just blowing out candles.
