I have lost my ability to walk past toys without checking them out in a near scientific fashion.

Okay, this id driving me crazy. Somehow I love my GSX Colossus's foot. Not the boot but the foot. It was a real GSX and not the Target one, so I'm fairly upset. Any one have a spare foot they want to trade for a hand? :/

Oh wow. And my 4 pack Magneto is missing too. Friends! Keep your minimates from me! I'm a terror!

The ONLY Minimate piece I have EVER lost (and am still extremely upset about) is Carnage's small hand. I've lost others too, but after a frantic search lasting for nearly two days I always wind up finding them. Carnage's hand though, has been gone for two years.

Also, for the heck of it:

fetish [FACERE <L. "to make"]

n: An object believed to possess magical power.

^^Is that right?

Not sure where you pulled that description from Alph but it's not quiet complete it's a 'specialised' explaination...

fetish (RELIGIOUS OBJECT) noun [C] SPECIALIZED

an object which is worshipped in some societies because it is believed to possess a spirit or special magical powers

It's the worshipped part that probably ties it to the usually accepted ( see below) use of the word.

fetish (INTEREST) noun [C]

1 a sexual interest in an object or a part of the body other than the sexual organs:

2 an activity or object which you are so interested in that you spend an unreasonable amount of time thinking about it or doing it

Main Entry: fe·tish

Variant(s): also fe·tich /'fe-tish also 'fE-/

Function: noun

Etymology: French & Portuguese; French fétiche, from Portuguese feitiço, from feitiço artificial, false, from Latin facticius factitious

1 a : an object (as a small stone carving of an animal) believed to have magical power to protect or aid its owner; broadly : a material object regarded with superstitious or extravagant trust or reverence b : an object of irrational reverence or obsessive devotion : PREPOSSESSION c : an object or bodily part whose real or fantasied presence is psychologically necessary for sexual gratification and that is an object of fixation to the extent that it may interfere with complete sexual expression

2 : a rite or cult of fetish worshipers

3 : FIXATION

I've never seen it used as magical object.

I believe my definition was speaking of a good luck charm, such as a rabbit's foot, etc. I actually didn't pull it from anywhere; that's jsut what I remembered from the dictionary definition, hence the erroneous description. Interesting, though; I've just learned more about what a fetish is then I ever wanted to know. :unsure:

It seems that you always find these things when you're not looking for them. :lol:
