P.S. School's for nerds.

No, I opened Neckbreaker to tighten the big click joint in his chest so when combined as Hercules, he can hold arm poses better.

Did the same for Madblender, but he's really easy to open up.

And when did you ever get the impression we weren't all nerds here?

I think Philosophy can be quite tough, for the reasons you mentioned. The plus side is that it can be re-applied to many other fields. The down side is that nobody cares about a degree in Philosophy (though I do have a friend who teaches ethics at CEGEP, with a Phd in Philly.

Yea I find philosohpy is sooo interconnected with other fields that it really bogs down the "philisophical" aspects of philosophy. In short its like taking math(logic), science(empiricism), history(pressocratics) etc, all in one. I prefer cultural classes myself, i think they point towards the most wisdom(for teaching purposes of course). And yes no one cares about philly degrees, cause technically we arent "useful" for todays progressive culture. (if anything we are quite harmful)

Funny you mention Deleuze im actually taking a class on him right now focused on Nietzche. Kinda makes me feel better about having transformers. Nietzche talks about following your dionysian counter-part. And when looking at my figures, i say to myself, damn you dionysus you have made quite the impact on my wallet

I am actually getting all the stock ready tonight and tomorrow for the Toycon on the 4th. I got so much new shit it's coming out of my eyes (Collections of people bought from TFcon that I save for Montreal Toycon resells).

Also got some shelving to maximize my table space so there will be more stuff. I hope to see you all there and Vain I have your Lady Jaye

Started with a 5.0 earthquake in MTL.

Coast to coast. Canada must have been evil in it's past life or something. Dirty beaver.

Thanks Dan, lookin' forward to seein' y'all there. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't gone to toycon to do so this year. It's pretty rad!

Besides, I'm going, it's a whole day with moi. Win win in my opinion.
