Clearing the shelves... run zurb run!!!

[Colossus]

Just got finished clearing some shelf space for my incoming LotR busts. Coming to realize it is time for another display case myself lol. Well anxios cant wait for stuff to start to arrive. Just got a morgul lord statue on the way too woot!

But........................................

My fiancee wants to shoot me though, she says I am spending to much. I showed her the Zurb guide to collecting though chapter 1 "Thou cant never spend too much on a statue or too little so long as you get it!" and chapter 4: " thou shal postpone any prior engagements ie. weddings, graduations, bar mitzvah, etc etc etc... if there is a chance to further the collection.". And chapter 13 "If thou are about to go bankrupt buy as many statues on credit as possible and hide them!".

Soon as I told her all that she went straight to my gun cabinet and was out the door saying something about getting that damn zurb!!! I dunno man I tried to stop her for ya but she was crazy.

Good thing is though as she left I remembered chapter 19, the final chapter "Sell thy friends out if there is a chance to save your collection."

Zurb, the scourge of wives everywhere. You poor bastidge. Your a marked man in what, at least 2 states now, maybe more. Keep going like this and you'll have to go underground.
Colossus, you are going to love the ML. It's just too cool! Wait until you get sight of that mace.

[Tattoo-X]

I'm starting to feel left out. I may have to get a LotR bust soon.

[Comicboy]

You can't get just one... If you get one they will lay you out and call their buddies.

Listen to him TattooX, he's not kidding....it's when they kick you in the ribs it hurts the most. Then they force you to bid on or order their friends and the cycle continues.

Colossus- Damn that was funny. I've already sent my apologies to Zurb. I think I see the torches now....

[Tattoo-X]

Gawd, my wife is going to be pissed. I've been using her account, and just auctioned watched a bunch of LotR busts. I'm going to get an ear full in the morning.
But I'm cutting back on Marvel things, so there's no way I'll get very many. I'm not that interested in them, or I would have had some by now.
I'd like to get Lord Elrond and place him next to my Agent Smith bust.
I'll use the excuse with Gimli that we both like the character and the actor. ;)
Wish me luck. :)

Heheheh...see what I mean?? And the cycle continues.... :eplus2:

Now you guys stop that. :stick:

[Zurbaran1]

Colossus, LOL

:eek: :eek:

But sheesh, with friends like these who needs enemies!!!!

You guys are all Doomed. Doomed. Doomed I say!!!!

Soon I shall be done!!! And then I will sit back and watch as you all fall deeper and deeper into the hole.

Hell, I'm used to being chased by women :eplus2:
Just don't really care much when they're carrying shotguns or other weapons

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!

I just crawled into bed and whispered to my wife that I was finally tired enough to go to sleep. That I drank a wine cooler, and the usual sex would help too. Just got the usual sleepy return kiss. Then I mentioned that I'm getting some LotR items, and up pops her head, eyes all wide. Then shaking her fist in my face. I just can't stop laughing. I told you guys. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Selective hearing is a wonderful female trait.... :laugh:

[Danno]

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is too funny, but I'm tellin' ya.....use the technique! Keep bugging them until they are happy to see you own it, so they don't have to listen to you say "gee...that is awesome ain't it honey" during the middle of their favorite shows.

Is this before or after she tell you to, "Shut the F*ck up!" ;D

I think Danno is on to something here. You should patent this method, put it into a little booklet with some pictures of you in action and then sell it on late night TV or ebay for $10. "Get it Past Your Wife the Danno Way" or "Danno for Geek Dummies."

[RickDTM]

I want to read more of the "Zurb's Guide to Collecting"!! :D

[Danno]

Two in fact. One on giving and the other on receiving. I'm much more of an expert on the latter though :laugh:

Oh man...aren't we all!! The Eye is ever watchful....

[silverageguy]

Zurb,
How are you coming on getting your office ready for shelving?
You take such fantastic photos of the items you receive, it's about time to get your collection out of the boxes and onto some shelves.

Rather than a "Guide" I do think it is time for you to write a Mission Statement and here's a suggestion of where you might start:

"I must have everything Sideshow LOTR."

[Zurbaran1]

Won't start on the office till I have a handle on the Quest. But that should be soon. I want these babies out of the boxes more than anyone.

Bigben its too late. I thought I would just look, wrong..... 2 weeks later i got 11 busts and a fullsize coming in. Only suggestion if you wanna stop now is grab a hammer and smash your cable modem, and loose any friends with internet access.
