I have so many other things to be embarrassed about, my hobbies are hardly worth the worry-effort.

When the cashier at Toys R Us looks over my stack of GI Joes and asks me if I need a gift receipt; I straighten my back, hold my head up high, look her in the eye and proudly declare "No, that's alright.  I'm fine."

I gave up the music thing years ago.

We still talk about recording new music but now that we all have kids it's a bit hard.

Quote from: "THE Mike?"
I have never once been ashamed or scared to admit that I collect, and like toys.

If you feel the need to hide it, then you're in the wrong hobby.

I don't really feel the need to hide it, and like I said, the girl did nothing to make me uncomfortable, but I just wish Hasbro had sent them in plain boxes :)  Kinda like if I had gotten a box delivered to the office with HUSTLER stamped all over it, well, you know, I really don't care what you think, but uh, yeah.  I'm gonna go now.

And Ian/Recon, your post was spot-on.  If I had all my toys still in their boxes, I'd be a VERY rich man.  But then I wouldn't have had anywhere near as much fun.  When I have kids, we're opening everything.  But kiddo, if you touch the SkyStriker, I'll have your rear end  ;D
