Sort of. It's selling your first boat. Because you've figured out how things work and what you want/need, and can now get the one you really wanted.

A guy at my work has bought and sold three boats in the past 7 years. We loved it for maybe half a year then bitches and moans until he sells it, swearing off boats for good. Then buys one the next spring.

@Captain Dave Poulin my apologies for leaving you hanging. I got wrapped up in Rebels birthday celebrations and wow, just wow can that boy drink.
Any way for our team Children's Toy we are going to select a toy that we had an absolute blast playing with, plastic army men.
I was a happy little boy when I got this for Christmas

Sounds like an office full of defective numbskulls. I'm shocked.

I want to change my draft pick ... or at least go to Asnito's for the afternoon.

Did your flamethrower guy torch his comrades? That was always a great way to get a new set

That's just a guy who doesn't like boats.
I'm planning to sell mine in a couple years so I can move up to a bigger one that does what I really want. The current one is the tricycle.

He gets small board to fish from, probably doesn’t do the upkeep, let’s it get a little banged up and swear he’ll keep the next one nice.

I still have a shoebox filled with my army guys, both the full sized ones and the minis. The plastic is so old and brittle I would need to use a pair of pillows to lift them.Did your flamethrower guy torch his comrades? That was always a great way to get a new set

I am very aware of Bakelite and how absurdly expensive it is for some hobbies.

Well, no. That's what they called asbestos at the time.

The last two picks were very good. Me likey.
We start the day with @Strawberry Fields on the clock, @Striiker on deck, GKJ on the lido deck, and Bernardo on the lido afterdeck. I think the only one left with make-up picks is Marlboro Man @JojoTheWhale, who is currently in Montana smoking heaters, making bets, eating bison, and corralling dogs.
You know how "I Am SOLO" is amazeballs? They started a second show called "I Am SOLO: Forever Love," where they follow some of the contestants after the show is over and see how they are doing. It's kind of like "Bachelor in Paradise," except for the total lack of skanks. About 12 episodes in, they decided that instead of following individual alumni, they would rent a guesthouse and gets groups of them from different seasons together and see what happens. It's like "I Am SOLO: All-Star Edition," and it f***ing rules. The biggest problem I have right now is that I'm caught up, so I have to wait a week for these. The waiting is the hardest part, innit.

In my research it seems my preference would for my team tree to be a Wisteria tree.
Not hard to see why this would appeal to me.

"As with so many engaging draft categories, the owners of the Halifax Galleons wrestled with the long list of wonderful movie quotes. The one we finally selected is contained in a short but moving scene in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
Incredibly, this scene does not appear in any of the LOTR books; only a fraction is included as a waking dream of Frodo's while in the Prancing Pony in The Fellowship of the Ring. This marvellously written scene shows Gandalf's calm humanity in the face of the near hopelessness of their situation, while the orc hoard overruns Gondor. The small snippet we highlight below doesn't give the full majesty of Gandalf's vision of death and afterlife.
Team Movie Quote: "Death is just another path, one that we all must take." (Gandalf) - The Lord of the Rings: the Return of the King
I will await word as to whether @Hollywood Cannon is available to make his pair of selections.

"The owners of the Halifax Galleons are deeply invested in scientific processes and advancements for the well-being of all. We are having trouble equating that with videos of whispering people or unwrapping boxes very slowly. Thus, we are pleased to select as our Team ASMR Artist as a leading ASMR researcher, lecturer, and author of the book Brain Tingles, Professor Craig Richard.
"Professor Richard is a Professor of Biopharmaceutical Sciences at Shenandoah University, School of Pharmacy, in Winchester, Virginia. He has a PhD in Physiology and Cell Biology from Albany Medical College. He first became interested in ASMR in 2013. Lest anyone accuse us of sidestepping the criteria for this category, Professor Richard is also an ASMR content creator and consultant/advisor. He described his first ASMR experience as such:
"We will now sleep better also after having taken care of this peculiar category."
To @Hollywood Cannon, whom we all hold up in solidarity and community support during this difficult time."

“For me, it feels very similar to the deep relaxing feeling of getting a massage. My brain feels immediately fuzzy, my muscles become fully relaxed, and my body almost feels like it is gently humming in a deeply soothing way. I want to put my head down and enjoy the moment with my eyes closed. Listening to ASMR triggers often helps me to fall asleep.”
