When are you going to stop buying model kits?

The Kits I'm buying "are" my kids inheiritance.

Hey J-Hulk has the idea!
When kits are given out free...then we can stop buying them. Until then, as my wife seems to do, 'shop till you drop'!

I will stop when I realize that it is not procrastination that causes my pile to increase, but inability.

NEVER!!!

I'll stop buying kits when they start giving them to me for free.



Helluva dissertation on hell thermodynamics there, Courtney!

I think you're right, Tim.Well that depends on which Hell. The one in Michigan, Norway or the Caymans. I'm pretty sure the first two freeze. Here's a favorite joke you reminded me of. It proves Hell will never freeze.

The following is an actual question given on University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues via the Internet, which is of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs
heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law, (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need
to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving.

I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it
will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are
entering Hell, lets look at the different religions that exist in the world
today.
Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.
Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do
not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to
Hell.
With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in
Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature
and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand
proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.
2. Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Teresa Banyan during my Freshman year that "...it will be a cold day in Hell before I give
you my number" and take into account the fact that I still have not
succeeded in acquiring her number, then 2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze.
The student received the only "A."

I dunno about that, therriman...

I've been watching the news/weather, and last I knew Hell hadn't froze over yet. So I keep buying.

Stop buying kits? Only when:

1. Im so filthy rich I can buy the real thing. Or,

2. Im so filthy rich I put up my own scale model company. Or,

3. Im so filthy rich I have a pool of scientists who invent a shrink ray.

Then, maybe, Ill stop buying completely... for about a week.

I stop buying kits when the money runs out. (seems to happen a little too often nowadays)

I'll probably stop buying kits when i've gone blind or pushing up daisies (which ever one hits first)... then again, I'll just have some poor grandchild read me the instructions to my latest kit when i loose my eyesight...

Nobody like a quiter, quiter's are losers!!

When I'm dead and can't buy anymore, then I'll be a quiter.

Eric

I'll stop buying when they take my VISA card from my cold, dead hands.

After I die, if I have any, my kids, with luck, will spend their inheiritence on kits. When the money runs out I'll stop buying kits

When they don't make them anymore (and then I'll hunt around at garage sales)

Buying kits is a little like drinking :
One is too many, and a thousand is not enough.

Or (to paraphrase W.C. Fields),
"Don't say you can't stop buying kits. Its easy. I've done it a thousand times."

I Will stop buying kits untill most of the ones I have are built.....


But the Atermarket stuff is another story!!!!!

I'm afraid that even a few weeks after I've been planted there will be new kits showing up at the house. I look at it as something to remember me by.

I'll keep buying them until they plant me! The golden rule of the collector is, way too many is not nearly enough!
