Nicole, this group is much richer for your presence.  I am glad you have decided to stay.  Talking about Coffin Joe all the time is no worse than talking constantly about AHIs, 4E or Hawthorne Village.  It is all welcome here.  It is because I say so.

Hawthorne Village.  :D No offense, but what is it about Hawthorne Village that keeps people talking so much? I've never quite understood that. Better yet, what keeps them buying the stuff? Oh yeah .. it's called a subscription plan.  ;)

There are a lot of folks here who aren't monster toy collectors.  I enjoy reading your posts Nicole, and am glad you are going to stay here.

    Confidentially speaking, my biggest collection is dust--it gently coats the place beneath. But pride of place goes to all the various & assorted friends I've collected since joining the ranks of the UMA--for the most part they make me larff(the remaining part we shan't discuss).
   As some feller named Shakespeare once said "God give wisdom to those that have it; and those that be Fools, let them use their talents." or, as my Uncle Jim used to say "Remember, no matter where you go--you'll always be there."

   Glad you decided to stay, Nicole.

Dear Meek,
I tend to live my life according to that great philosopher and wise sage, William Claude Dukenfield, who gave me easy-to-follow directions:
"Never mind where I told you to stand- You stand where I tell you!"
Things tend to work out as long as I don't deviate too far from this principle.
Best,
Richard

Hawthorne Village- sounds like the place to be!...

"Hawthorne Village has been the best selling community in the Greater Toronto Area for the last 5 years.  Over 6500 families already call Hawthorne Village home."

"The homes are not lined up single file down the street, rather their placement is staggered on the lots to create a more interesting streetscape"

Ygor to the Monster:
"We... go pillage the interesting and staggered streetscape, eh? "

(this in no way reflects badly on our fine Canadian neighbors to the north~ who I live so close to that they can reach across the boarder and beat me with a large stick)

Best,
Richard

Yes a subscription plan and a compulsive buying disorder.

... So, you won't find a single file, down their streets... probably, all, baked, in cakes, & delivered to the Hawthorn Village Gaol! :D
... As far as staggering goes, mayhap, they built them, that way, as a convenient selling-point, to attract ye local bar crowd. Sort of like the conceptual Pavlovian bell-ringing, as found in product placement: i.e., "easy open tops" & "light beer"... ;)

And if they ever wanted to start their own group around it, they could call themselves the Hawthorne Village People.

Oh, wait...
