We obviously needed a whole thread for gear analogies to this piece of pop culture zeitgeist. In fact, this is what has been missing since this forum's inception.
Please use this thread to come up with gear analogies to gear use/collecting/hoarding/#minimalism. You can use the two Roald Dahl books, the two motion picture adaptations, and if you have fan fiction... please be my guest!
I can start... when you get your new synth VS when you realize you don't understand your new synth.

The amount of gear I already own (the cake), myself bloated and feeling overwhelmed with the possibilities within that gear (Bruce Bogtrotter), that new Korg Wavestate (Ms.T Trunchbull).

The more time I read about gear correlated to enthusiasm for gear.

My resolute desire to own less (Bond), the fine engineers at Korg (hard hats), the Korg Wavestate (Ernst Blofeld). Future me is Hans, looking back with judgemental hindsight.
*Screenplay was by Roald Dahl and this is a strictly Roald Dahl based thread.
