Lord of the Rings stamps

For all you numismatists out there, New Zealand has released a set of stamps commemorating the Lord of the Rings movies. Drool. (Hey, I used to collect stamps. I think I still have them somewhere. Shut up.)

Update: I meant "philatelists," of course. Well hey, I used to collect coins too. Don't know what happened to my non-valuable coin collection. Oh well.

Now I shall go off and forget more words for things.

I think what you meant to say is that you used to be interested in philately. Not that it's any of my business. Numismatists collect coins.

Argh! I should go back to forgetting words entirely, which I was doing yesterday.

Time was when people were embarassed to suffer from philatelism, but these days we understand the condition much better. It is fully treatable. Just see your doctor, and don't be embarassed about it.

What have you done for me philately?

BarCodeKing,

Just don't going say that around people you don't know well. Homonyms are dangerous things when not spelled out.
