flames are invited..I have plenty of soft sweet 
marshmallows for everyone..for after I get done 
posting my comment..heck well make smores over my 
smoking corpse. ~_~

here it is in bumper sticker maxims you can apply 
them to RL or you can apply them to this blessed 
hobby:

Bad things happen.
It happens to everyone.Me you, that guy with the 
wart...it happens.(that and death is the great 
equalizer)

*Dibs* is a playground ettiquette that doesnt 
apply to the real world no matter how badly we 
want it to.

He who has the gold makes the rules. and it sucks 
that a LOT of people have a lot more gold...and 
they can take that very important thing you want 
from underneath you without any hesitation.
what you want and what you get are not always in 
synch.( I think theres a rolling stones song here)

If it doesnt feed you, cloth you, love you back 
or house you..its an E-X-T-R-A..other people have 
gotten by with far less. Be thankful for your 
victories..(im sure you have some)and get over 
your losses.

RAPE is something that sneaks up on you and 
intentionally hurts you without your knowledge or 
will..it does not apply to cel collecting.EVER.
(any questions about this email me and Ill share 
A pretty *nice** story about what actual rape 
feels like) If you think that losing a cel is the 
worst thing that can happen in your life..than 
you are doing really really well...

SO QUIT WHINING DAMMIT..post some nice cels you 
HAVE won and Ill congratualte you(id love to see 
them)..but im sure as heck not gonna hold your 
head while you vomit up this childish "it should 
have been mine but for other collectors who are 
holding me back" rant.

Pale, angry and shaking.
