Nepotism!
I make way to much for what I do, then spend it all on plastic, metal, and resin crack.
And it seems like by the end of summer, I will have 7-8 armies of 5 tabletop games.

They don't mate your right, with my expert spanking hands I can toss one into a frenzy inside ten seconds, and tramps are apparently patient and selfless lovers who like to take their time reaching a climax.

 With the price hikes I wonder how long before prostitution or bank robbery become the means through which new armies are obtained.

No, it's a way of saying i'm on the dole
Basically it's a weekly amount paid bi-monthly to support you when you're trying to find work. The criteria for getting it is so simplistic that it allows hundreds of people to simply do nothing more than wander into the Job Centre twice a month, say they've been looking for jobs and applying to places, and walk out with £210 per month for sitting in their council estate flats with their rotweilers and abusing the barely 18 year-old mother of their 3 kids-with-another-on-the-way.
Yes, that paragraph was a huuuuge generalisation, but it's what one generally thinks of when hearing about people abusing unemployment benefits.

Oh, first thing I thought was that you were getting funding for your hobby from a fruit canning company. And then I thought that Donations Originating from Labouring Employees was a funny name for a fruit processing company.
Your explanation is a lot better though.

Ah, I get you...so sort of like welfare or unemployment benefits here in the States then.
