Have you tried downing a whole bottle of gin. I did that in college, I ended up sleeping under the table of a neighboring cottage at a beach in Subic. And to think it was a family outing. I had some beer as well. I don't think I could do that anymore now.
Does anybody here buy some kits and never even build them till 6 months to a year later? I want to know because I've got like 20+ kits and it still growing.

My 1/72 Hasegawa F-14 (Atlantic Fleet Sqdns) and F-15E Strike Eagle which I bought 15 years ago.
I also have a Tamiya Willy's Jeep 1/35 and several Tamiya and Dragon 1/35 figures which I also bought 15 years ago.

...one-legged, cross-eyed hisaw tindera lurking along the kanto of Bicutan wet market.
FLASHBACK: They were actually former comrades in the Epic War of the armor/aircraft modelers versus the Gundamaniacs.
However, in a skirmish against the huge mechas, the tindera's M41E9 Walking Bullcat MBT was being pounded by a MS-69A0 Zagu. Desperate, the hapless tindera got on the horn and yelled for air support using with the "Broken Arrow" codeword.
Arriving over the FLOT in his entirely scratchbuilt OV/A-10Z (MSIP) BroncHog, the Pinoy Armoramaniac -who was high from odors of Tamiya Liquid cement, Mr Mark Softener 500, and ammonia-based window cleaner - could not accurately designate his weapons...instead of hitting the switch to lock the FLIR, he mistakenly clicked the mouse to activate his Friendster account, then squeezed the picke button, unleashng a storm of 30mm shells made out of stretched sprue and 2.75 FFARS fashioned from Evergreen Strips...
...demolishing both enemy Zagu and friendly Walking Bullcat.
Despite that she would have been KIA without the intervention of the friendly airstrike, the tindera (who lost her left leg) swore revenge against the Pinoy Armoramaniac.
She plotted. She schemed. And she put her devious plans in motion by first....

... it reaked of mushrooms from Afghanistan, borne by the prevailing winds of the Indian monsoon as it travelled over the conflicted regions of Asia eventually landing the spores in the Philippines.
The Armoramaniac was about to retreive the 10-ton Trebuchet christened "Lulu Belle" when suddenly, a rabit-toothed dwarf no more than 3-feet in height, armed with a 12-gauge shotgun, and a colored-pink fluffy mace appeared! The dwarf said...

"Pleasant greetings! If you desire this Trebuchet, you must first undergo a challenge."
The Armoramaniac eyed the dwarf and muttered "Challenge, eh? Okay then, let's hear it."
The dwarf grinned a rabbitric grin and raised the shotgun - a USAS-12 in painted bright turquoise. "You must either face me in a duel right now...or you are to undergo a quest to get me an item."
"And what is that item?"
"I have this craving for a certain Filipino delicacy...there are a lot of them available in the country but I only prefer one that is in available in a specific place." The dwarf gave an even bigger rabbitric grin. "I want you to get me hisaw that can be found in the kanto of Bicutan!"
The Armoramaniac weighed his options...a deathmatch between him and this little runt armed to the teeth, or a covert operation in his nemesis' territory.
The dwarf cocked the USAS-12. "So, what is your decision? You have three seconds..."
Even before the dwarf finished his words, the Armoramaniac made up his mind....

... "You're dead domestic meat, rabbit!" howled the Armoramaniac, and in the split second it took for the dwarf to blink the Armoramaniac had removed the chock that held Lulu Belle and sent the 10-ton monstrosity crashing into the dwarf with such thunderous roar it could be heard six feet away.
And then, silence. Deafening silence. The clouds had darkened as the Armoramaniac perused the now lifeless body of the dwarf, arms pointed upward with hands like accusing fingers.
Then, as if on cue, the silence is interrupted by what is now an all too familiar line heard from the radio: "Mga kababayan, ilang araw na lang, eleksyon na. Hayaan ninyo ihayain ko sa inyo ang aking mga layunin sa unang isandaang araw..."
The Armoramaniac shuddered....

... for it was no other than Ef Fiji! Our hero turned and pointed his weapon towards Fiji, but the latter kept on yacking about his non-existent platform which would give him the Gintong Ina Mother of the Year Award because of his motherhood statements.
Fiji was not at all distressed even with a 16-inch gun, a Smerch rocket, and the deadly Energizer-powered pink-honey-bunny-wabbit pointed at his face. After Fiji had talked about his motherly platform, he said:
"I came here to help you AMS-afflicted Filipino Armoramaniac. Let me join your quest to retrieve the precioussssssss from the tindera. Sa pagkat, ako ay hindi lang karaniwang candidate, but I'm also a Panday!"
Our hero, bathed in joyous glee, then accepted Ef Fiji's assistance, and after having repaired Lulu Belle and cooked the dwarf - and ate it too! - they continued on their quest for the new experimental anti-freeze solution XR-12-Alfa which makes one hallucinate like a rat on steriods mixed with vodka and liquified chicken pie to boot.

... "Magkano ang Gunze thinner?"
Like Homer Simpson at the sight of Bart undertaking something mischievous to his pants, Veronica flared with seemingly uncontrollable rage the likes of which have never before been seen. After what seemed like an eternity, Veronica composed herself and responded: "P500. Katulad din ng sinabi ko last week."
Ef Fiji, hands in pocket, moved forward. Slowly. Deliberately. And in his usual fashion placed both hands on the counter, head half nodding, and said in a soft yet husky voice:
"Pang-apat. Mas mababang presyo ng Gunze thinner. Pagod na tayo sa kakaintay ng sale. Alam nating lahat na pag may Gunze thinner, may kaunlaran sa model. Itoy para sa inyo, at para sa airbrush niyo."

... "Oh! Oh! I know! I'll have a strawberry popsicle, a jelly donut and a soda and forget about the thinner and move forward to a new life free of schemes and evil motives."
Mr. Freeze then proceeded to fill himself with what he thought would be absolution. But it was not to be. For the refrigerator only had vanilla ice cream, the jelly donut had sagged into an undesirable lump of marmalade and flour, and the soda was less than convincing. Perhaps a liberal application of ice would have spiced up the drink?
"Ahh! The world has gone against me! The world shall suffer the wrath of my vengeance!" shouted Mr. Freeze. "Well, the modeling world, at least," he scurried to correct himself.
"Well, okay, the Philippine modeling world." Even with all his self-praises he still maintained a twisted perversion for accuracy.
