    I'm two for three on your goal. Though I have no interest in g2 sideswipe. But love Delta Magnus and Liger. I prefer neat scotch though...

    I'm super jealous of your scotch. The last time I had scotch, I got a bottle of Glenfiddich as a gift for myself on my 25th birthday, and a good amount of it ended up wretched upon the gift from my family, CW Menasor. It wasn't the liquor that did me in, it was Dead End encouraging my nihilistic over-consumption to drown out my passing of another weary year of life in this mostly empty, entropic universe with the whole bottle of booze, a whole Digiorno's, and far too many bowls of some really potent (legal) herb that when mixed with the booze made the room feel like it was spinning. I woke to find poor Menasor on the floor, looking about as hungover as I, partially covered in vomit, poor lad. Ah, transformers and self-destructive consumption, these are the things I am about.

    That hits close to home. Substitute glenfiddich for a twenty five year bottle of Talisker and some green. And Menasor for front yard bush/sleeping spot... That was my 25th.

    I think 25 is the year I realized "Oh, shit, I'm an adult," and also that booze hurts now.

    Nice collection! That makes my 30-odd bottles of single malt seem paltry by comparison! I'll have to dig them all out for a photo...

    Seeing from your choices, you may want to know that I heard from a little birdie at a trade show that there's another Balvenie peated cask in the works. I got to try a sip....quite delicious!

    Oh God yes....I know that too well dont I?

    I have never bought anything while been drunk and after the thrid time I vomited I learned to stop just a single glass before I hit the vomit alert zone but I gave my Stomach a case of Acid Influx at the tender age of 23.

    Anyways there is something magical having your old G1 PowerMaster Optimus looking at you while downing a glass of Scotch and listening to those 80s love songs from a vinil aint there?

    ...best part about it is receiving a litany of packages for weeks afterward, always fun surprises to anticipate when the UPS guy drops by the office; worst part about it is double and triple-checking that you entered your billing and shipping addresses correctly, but still getting them wrong...

    ...it took three orders to sort out how deeply i'd managed to embed a jumbled-up mixture of prior addresses into tfsource's database; despite new purchase confirmations showing my correct billing and shipping addresses on new orders, their computers somehow kept sending my packages to an address/street/city/zip combination that doesn't even exist...thankfully, the UPS folks working their local sorting facilities on those days recognised my name from all the other packages i'd been receiving, so they overrode the undeliverable-rejections and managed to track me down at my correct current address instead: that's impressive customer service!..

    I usually agree. I bought the Cloud 9 Quakeblast from bababobo and I really love the figure. The only downside is I ordered two of them, that's the drunk part. Oh well, twice the Quake double the Blast.

    Never bought toys when I was really drunk...which has only really happened twice in my life. And I'm not buying toys when I'm tippsy either....so I'm not really certain how I would handle something like this.

    i dont think i've ever spontaniously drunk bought a toy, usually it's a figure i've been thinking about getting for a while. The booze just helps me pull the trigger and never look back.
    Except for the time i bought a sword. That was stupid.
