Has your hobby made a liar out of you?

[sky_captain]

I don't lie. In fact, it amuses me to see the look on people's faces when I tell them the price of certain things.

Women collect shoes and handbags, so they can sit on it!

 

[Something Sexy]

Au contraire Mr. Devil. I didn't ask what you thought about my situation. I asked whether there was anyone else who had ever fibbed about what they paid for their dollies. Twas you who took it upon yourself to proclaim that I, and anyone else who did so, had a problem.

For the sake of this thread I hereby proclaim this waste of time over. Further comments can be directed to someone who cares. I am off to make some popcorn.

You have a problem. Especially if you are one of the ones who lies to their mothers.

Edit: I checked back. You do lie to your mother you are going to hell and I hope you have to eat cat poop popcorn.

WTF?????????

I once pooped my pants in math class and blamed the smell on the unpopular girl who sat next to me.


True Story

 

[Maglor]

My farts smell like popcorn. I often lie and blame them on the cat.

I turn the "how much does it cost" in to a game with the wife. I don't lie about the price, but she often over estimates and then feels a sense of relief when she finds out the actual price

That just happened to my yesterday.

I just spent the most I ever have on a figure, and was forced to break it to my wife because I needed to pay (through paypal) with our credit card fast, (the bank was closed so I couldn't transfer funds from my business account to my personal account behind the scenes like I sometimes do).

First she said: "is it more than $200?"

"Yes."

"Is it more or less than $500?"

"Less." *whew*

I once punched the girl next to me in math class in the face and blambed it on the devil.

Not a True Story.

No mate, that's not harsh that's straight up honest. But it's not quite like that (I hope). My mother was over for the regular Friday night dinner and I was online about to pay the school fees. She saw the invoice and insisted on paying it, saying that as grandmother she would like to contribute to my daughter's education - so she paid one term's fees (four terms in the year).

Gee, I sound like a real schmuck, but honestly I had the money for the school fees and on top of that I had the money for the figures too. It's just that I didn't want to rub the expense in her face when she came around the following Friday night, so I rounded down the cost somewhat.

Edit* my mum grew up in pretty austere surroundings and for much of her life she had to watch every penny. Bending the truth about the cost of my figures is more about respecting where she came from than disrespecting myself. Those who are sanctimoniously having a derisive laugh at others who are being honest about their petty infringements on the truth are probably unaware of a lot of factors, both cultural and circumstantial, that make fibbing or evasion more appealing in some circumstances than revealing the often exorbitant cost that we pay for many of these figures. Let's face it, as much as we love these figures, some of them are overpriced - we know this but still we buy them.

Thanks for being so honest. You're lucky to have a mom who is so generous, especially since she came from humble beginnings. I see that it was probably guilt that prompted you to begin this thread in the first place!

The irony is that since we kids grew up she's loaded

Hey, forget you buddy! The dog makes my popcorn, and I don't ask questions about how he makes it.

I also have a civet that makes my cofee:

Instead of lying about how much my stuff costs I just tell them how much they've appreciated to.

 

[C0L0SSUS]

I'd love to tell my wife how much my habit costs... sheeeyaa. Seriously, I left behind barhopping, golf trips, Vegas weekends, to settle down. Now, mind you, 11 years later, I NEVER regret marrying the most wonderful woman in the world. But all the dough that used to be spent on debauchery is goin' to my wife, 2 lovely kids, and my growing collection of 1:6 figs. Is the occasional $200 figure so much to ask for? I submit it is not!

[Thrustmaster]

[Something Sexy]

You told her how much it cost right?

 

[Lejuan]

You told her how much it cost right?

I asked her to get a move on with her tax return submission so I could do mine and go out and buy a figure we couldn't afford on our regular budget. She said, "Well, that could take a while... why don't I get it for you for Christmas?".

I then admitted the whole sordid story about how my lust for Hot Toys Bats and she said, "So long as it's not another woman I don't care what you lust after you idiot"

Woo hoo! Bruce Lee DX here we come!

Isn't it cheaper to lie to the chicks but not to your parents?

 

[moviefiend24]

I do tend to tell every one who sees my figures and asks, that they cost about £50-70 less than I actually paid for them. My parents sort of know how much they cost but there not to bothered about them as they think they look pretty cool.
