Here’s most of my toys, displayed in consolidated form. It’s still not quite allll of them. I’m sitting on a very large (but partially empty) bin as I take this picture, plus there’s still one or two or twenty here and there in some storage bins elsewhere. It’s inevitable. And this afternoon I carried over Fortress Maximus all by himself, since he’s not really the kind of guy you put in a bin.
But see those four green bins on the far right? Those contained all the Transformers I owned while I was in college. I have accumulated a lot of stuff. And it’s kind of overwhelming. I may try to ditch a bunch of them.
(And finally, sorry, no TNI strip this week. While we’re loading all these bins and things and driving to our new place several times a day, I’m running a bit of a fever and have just the most terrible sore throat, while operating mostly in 90-degree weather. Something had to give.)




NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Then what will the lovely people over at TSI have to bitch, deride, not get why “it’s not funny”, and complain about?
And most importantly, think of poor Demoncat. Now he/she has no jokes that he/she has to explain and yet slightly miss the point, but not too much off the mark? Think of the poor Demoncat.
I’m more concerned about a() vs. a(), where a() is a function returning a random combination of “gorn,” “spock,” “eyes,” and “shadow.” Without a new Shortpacked!, what will his myriad identities have to talk about?
Demoncat will soldier on. He does it on io9 too.
Something had to give
Your mom?
His mom doesn’t give, she sells.
Someone has to say “for a nickel”
Have a big toy collection myself, and I dread the day when I’ll have to move them all, especaially my vintage Voltron deluxes which are fragile as hell now. Packing and wrapping them to keep them from breaking on the journey will be a LOT of work.
I know how much of a challenge to move when you collect toys. I helped my brother move his collection stuff and had to be extra gentle with stuff.
Hope you get better.
I have no idea what’s full of Hot Shot in this picture, is it maybe the soiled rag on the floor???
That rag may be soiled by a Hot Shot, ut I heave a feeling it’s not the Transformer.
That is a lot of toys!
Oh, wait. When we moved in September, we had twelve boxes of CDs, twenty boxes of DVDs, and EIGHTY-SIX boxes of books. *sigh*
Every time I move, just burning down the house and starting over looks better…

Weird idea: NASCAR Transformer Autobot sponsored by Hot Shot brand insecticide. As if you don’t have enough to repaint.
is half a blender in one of those bins?
I’ve got a fever and sore throat too, and with the heat index in Chicago at 100, I’ve got little choice but to go to work and sit in the nice air conditioning there, spreading my plague…
I got some big uns too, but I dread the day I have to figure out how to move the old Balrog…
Hope you feel better soon. I always got sick after moving as well.
