If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then you are a
peladofigphobiac.  You may wonder, what is a {peladofigphobiac}?  Observe...

[peladophobia]- fear of bald people¬
[fig]- contraction of the term minifigure for the AFOL, a yummy treat to the
muggles

[peladofigphobia]- fear (or loathing) of minifigs with an exposed stud on
thier head.

My name is <http://www.lugnet.com/~94 Felix Greco>, and I'm a
peladofigphobiac.


I used to and I still do if its a yellow fig head (or #shudder# pink head)
However when the fig is clearly wearing headcoverings due to the printing such
as this little fellah  <img <http://www.bricklink.com/PL/3626bpb241.jpg>>
then its all ok

Eek, but then you can see {inside} his head to where his brains should
be! While bald solid-studded minifig heads are bad enough, those poor
souls who lost their brains through the holes in the tops of their heads
are pitiable.
