How do you refer to Museum people when talking to someone NOT from M.M. ?
Is that what goes on in the "other room" at Megomeet? Now I know how Nurse Mego turned Dr. Mego into Dr. Love at the 'meet this year. I wondered...(anybody else know what I'm talking about? I guess you had to be there.)
I usually say "(insert member name here) at The Museum". I always refer to this place as "The Museum". Sounds classy and I'm sure people who overhear me talking think to themselves, "There's a museum in this town?"
I say Mego Museum too. I find that if someone knows what "Mego" means, they generally have heard of the Museum. A lot of times though, people don't even know what "Mego" is at which point I feel there's no point in talking about the Museum. LOL! How DARE they not know what a Mego is! The shame, the shame...
I call you all my buddies.
My wife does refer to you all as my dollie friends.
I'm afraid she will never understand...
Then again what can I expect from somebody who gave away all her barbies at 13..
She does however occasionally get me things that would work well for my dollies.(clothes,parts,materials,figs)
Oh yes as much as she hates it she likes it...Muwahahahaha
Little story;Awhile ago my work buddy and I went to the comic store to get some comics and my guy whips out my new Emce Kirk and says "Hey Tony the retro trek figs are in." My buddy looks at me and says "still playing with dolls eh?"
Comic guy then leans over and tells my buddy "Aw don't feel left out,I picked up that Wayne Gretzky Mcfarlane you wanted."
Booyah!!!...Busted....LOL
I looked at him and simply said..."At least mine is movable,poor old Wayne has to hold his arms in the air forever.Have fun playing with your solid chunk of plastic!!!"
Actually doesn't come up much. But I usually refer to the Museum as "the community" or "the board". Like before I go to Mego Meet and I'm asked about to explain it. I'm say I'm going to pic up pieces for my collection but more than that that it's a get together for the community. When I show off pics of my collection and others. I'll show mine first and then say "if think that's something look at what som eother people in the community have!". For some reason when I use "community" there seems to be an immediate understanding with no further questions. Again though it really doesn't come up much since the majoirty of people I no know have no real interest in the hobby outside my involvement in it.
I started calling this place the "club". I say I joined a Mego Collectors Club on the internet - and I say "someone in the club" or my friend from the club said. or I bought this figure from someone in the Club. On occasion, I say someone on the boards.
Well. . . .when I am talking about you Mikey. . . .It usually starts off with . . . this guy I know who Likes to keep statues down his pants, and has the occasional Toilet Accident. . . .OK. . . .Not so occasional. . . .anyway. . . . he said. . . . .
