I have seen a few comments the last few days, bemoaning the fact that some people play with their toys differently than they do.

They ask "Why?"

The proper answer is of course "Why not?"

The notion that people have to justify their interests in a silly hobby disturbs me. But, I'll get over it. Will the bemoaners?

Of course, the REAL answer is "Because they want to." Why is that your problem?

To what?

"Why? 'Cause y has a long tail."

Yeah, I thought it was stupid when the stupid 7 year old neighbor said it to me when I was 10.

I always thought this reason was a hoot:

"Blue, because peanut butter can't climb trees."

Who's on first?

uruk hai11 Dec 2012 11:01 p.m. PST

In the varied branches of our hobby I would hazard a guess not too many people do things the same as others. Embrace it, be enriched by it, enjoy.

sneakgun11 Dec 2012 11:34 p.m. PST

One Ring to bind them….

What's on second….

Meiczyslaw11 Dec 2012 11:42 p.m. PST

Who's on first?

Correct. Why's in left.

Sparker12 Dec 2012 12:35 a.m. PST

I don't really think theres really a 'problem' here at all…

'Storm in a teacup' don't even begin to describe how little of a problem there is…can you have a storm in an eggcup?

Keraunos12 Dec 2012 2:49 a.m. PST

and I thought this was a thread encouraging people to stop asking questions on a forum that take a book to answer.

we could do with one of those.

Who died and left you in charge?

If you don't ask why then you'll never find out why their way is actually better than your own.

I have no problem with why – fits in well with what, where when and how – I only have a problem with "you're doing it wrong".

Michael Hatch12 Dec 2012 3:40 a.m. PST

Because……

marcus arilius12 Dec 2012 4:24 a.m. PST

ok

PapaSync12 Dec 2012 4:43 a.m. PST

Shouldn't this go under Utter Drivel?

Chocolate Fezian12 Dec 2012 6:11 a.m. PST

You should never stop asking why
Why not is a valid answer (sometimes)

Even Utter Drivel has standards to uphold.

I think the OP is on third base.

Why, do you ask? Hah! Who was born where and how was he called by whom?

THAT is the question!

COL Scott0again13 Dec 2012 3:31 a.m. PST

The OFM is never in left field….now right field on the other hand.
