I Have A Dilemma

This is sooooo typical...

 

I have two equally compelling things that happen at the same time. And yes, I could do both, but it would mean delayed gratification and I'm just not into that. So I'm the donkey stuck between two piles of food.

 

One the one hand, I've been invited to the LEGO "Toy Fair" preview in New York next month. They'll have events and information and a preview of the 2007 lineup (some of which has leaked already). It's an invitation-only party that I've been invited to for years and have never been able to go before. This time, though, airfare is cheap and Bionicle Rex and I are tentatively planning on hanging out for that weekend. Mmmm, winter in New York - fun.

 

On the other hand, the Toy Fair preview party is the exact same night as the long-anticipated debut of Season 4 of Kim Possible. Four brand new episodes. Two hours of animated fun. Yes, I have Tivo, but as I said (and to quote Inigo Montoya), "I hate waiting."

*sigh* I suppose I'll end up going to NY for Toy Fair and Tivo'ing KP. Can't have everything, I guess.

Well, wouldn't LEGO outweigh anything? (except, maybe your wife (Denmark))

 

Well, you could give me that invitation.

 

Ok, seriously, go see the new sets (because they look awesome) and watch KP later.

 

On the topic of conflicts, who's going to run April Fool's Day if you're at BF PDX?

Yeah, TiVo is the way to go, you've been waiting for x months for the new KP season, you can wait a couple more days. Well, that's what I would do in this situation.

KP isn't worth it. The miracle that is TiVo will save you the trouble of deciding anyways. And patience is a virtue!

KP isn't worth it.

Bite yer tongue!

 

:P

 

*watches stuck-out tongue get bitten)

 

But really Binky... KP can be Tivoed... Toy Fair can't :)

 

I'd say what you're going to end up doing... you already decided to do :P

It's like the time where I skipped out on a Dungeons and Dragons game for a Star Trek marathon. I think that has to be the definition of geekdom.

 

Be aware that whatever you end up doing, I'll be doing the other thing the entire time. If you're at the party, I'll be at home watching Kim Possible saying very loudly every so often "Wow! Bink isn't here to watch this!" and if you stay home to watch Kim Possible, I'll go to the Toy Fair preview party in a really fancy suit!

 

Hmmm . . .

I shall start planning to smuggle myself into the Toy Fair today! I think I'll use suitcases, stolen badges, a bunch of really dubious stuffed animals that I sewed myself and potted plants!

 

Which is why you should probably go for the Toy Fair, since even though I'm an overeager teenage rebel who'd be quite happy to spend a night in jail for something awesome like sneaking into Toy Fair or something (all while screaming "Help! Help! I'm being repressed! Come see the violence inherent in the system!"), I think that you old squares aren't quite as excited about the prospect of me getting at the very least kicked out by the convention security as I am right now.

 

C'mon man! Kim Possible is worth it!

Bink, consider yourself lucky.

 

I'm a Canadian, we don't get KP Season 4 for a few months. Blasted Family Channel... grumblegrumble

 

Hey, you've never been to ToyFair and you can TiVo KP. Plus, you can't TiVo ToyFair.

Go to toyfair and look at the pretty Bionicle '06 and then watch Kim. ;)

 

And I would agree with Gman, had I not read the above post stating that such a crime results in a crippled tongue. :P

You know, Binky, one of the things about you that make you such a fascinating BZP Admin is how you are a grown-up, married man and you're into LEGO and Kim Possible all at the same time. :P
