Quote from: TheProwler on December 21, 2023, 01:45:57 PMI have a pretty large sports card collection.
I have a nice coin collection.
I have a decent comic book collection.
I have a stamp collection.
My wife has collections of different types of figurines.
They are all nice hobbies.
But they are all low-key type of hobbies.
Not a high enough level of excitement to satisfy most active people.
Which is why I also play music, play hockey, play basketball, hike with my dog, play baseball, and participate in a long list of other fun activities.
Poor Boring Joe.

Quote from: JOE on December 20, 2023, 11:04:35 PMDo ya like Hockey Cards, Zetsu?
If so, tharz an auction in January for an original set of Parkhurst 1951-52 series. That's 105 cards up fer grabs.
They say the estimate is $30,000 and up for the lot.

$30,000/105 = roughly $300 per card on average.
Mind you, that set could go for much higher.
Like $40,000 or $50,000, eh?
Stil, that's a heckuva lot cheaper than a Honus Wagner vintage baseball card which goes for $1 million or so these days. And that's just fer one card not a set.
So hockey cards seem like bargain by comparison.
In the scheme of things $30,000 for the most expensive hockey card aint much.
But i've heard a certain Wayne Gretzky rookie card has gone for $1 million as well
Quote from: Frood on December 20, 2023, 11:00:05 PMI've never dated them either but have mates divorced from them and I've worked with a couple of young Sheila professionals fresh out of Uni.
In my own experience, they were (those two) solely focused on position and reputation... but they were inexperienced as hell and wouldn't listen to practical experiences aka past mishaps that I witnessed in my tenure in a company which changed hands.
They (both engineering grads) were like "we need to do this/these things"...
...I was like, "it was tried. It almost killed twice. It's off the table."
And then they pulled up their "engineering" degrees... (mind you, they were 22 and 24 years old at the time, I was 28)...and told me in no uncertain terms that they were highly trained professionals and I was just a set of hands, therefore we would be be trying to cut 90-130 millimetre thick industrial mining rubber with a hand circular saw...
I didn't bother trading subtle insults back at that point. I just went to the owners and said "you ever seen a carpentry circular launch out of a cut at 70 kilometres per hour and nearly decapitate or halve a person?"
20 minutes later, those young Japanese cunts were so mad, they left.... they went home "sick"...
That's very anti Japanese culture.
But... fuck em.. I tried to be delicate and supportive in the beginning... then the claws and egos came out, and I had to go John Wayne in the Quiet Man.
Bitches never forgave me after that..

Quote from: Herman on December 20, 2023, 09:58:20 PMI remember in the mid eighties, the Japanese PM was Yasuhiro Nakasone. He was war criminal. A commissioned officer in the Imperial Japanese Navy. He was stationed in Indonesia. He was the first naval officer to organize and force local gals into sexual slavery known as comfort women.
Also, as pm in the eighties, he made the comment that the US cannot compete with Japan because of large populations of Blacks and Hispanics. He was a character.

Quote from: Brent on December 20, 2023, 06:49:05 PMThe Japanese right has balls.
Quote from: Herman on December 17, 2023, 09:27:37 PMI like Japanese gals. They are kinky.
Quote from: Brent on December 17, 2023, 02:33:41 PMThey don't last long, but there are more power outages now compared to about twenty years ago.
Quote from: DKG on December 17, 2023, 11:54:45 AMThere is a strong green movement in Japan, but it is pragmatic. Our green movement is controlled by marxists.
