Murphy's Law Of Buying In Bulk

"You can keep purchasing small costlier-per-piece packages of a product till Doomsday, and you will always continue needing a sizable amount/quantity of it per week/month/year. But then just as soon as you plunk down a tidy sum for an economy-priced bulk-quantity of said commodity, your needs and/or lifestyle will immediately change, and so now you will likely never even begin to consume that much volume in your entire lifetime."

For example, you purchase several cases of plain white paraffin candles for your antique chandelier that you love to illuminate every evening, only to then discover that an electric-candle "upgrade" kit is available, and comes with fixtures that look just like the elegant candles and fit perfectly into your chandelier's holders! So now you're stuck with many hundreds of little white-wax tapers that you'll probably never have any use for.
I feel like such a total bulk-buying buffoon --- I had been consuming several expensive plywood-cutting circular-saw blades per year in my household woodworking-tasks, and so eventually I had purchased a bargain-priced fifty-pack of only-minutely-rusty "new old stock" Skilsaw-blades from a private seller on E-Bay. But then I had started using a larger-bladed table-saw for most of my panel-slicing/trimming needs, and so I've only used one or two of the circular-saw blades from the package in the many months since that time! Sounds like a classic case of "Murphy's Law Of Buying In Bulk" to me!!!

Bulk

The term "bulk" is used when someone is trying to gain weight. Most commonly used by gym enjoyers.

Dreamer Bulk

A bulk during which the weightlifter puts on enormous amounts of fat (often achieving over 30% bf) and leaves the fat on for an extended period of time (generally over a year). This is called a "dreamer bulk" because these people are living for a dream (e.g., a vision of an ideal-but-distant future state that non-dreamers cannot perceive and find difficult to understand). This often subjects the dreambulker to derision from non-weightlifters, amateur weightlifters, internet forum addicts, and other people who only understand aesthetics or the pursuit of short-term physical goals. What critics of dreambulkers often overlook is that the extra fat limits muscle catabolism, cushions joints during heavy lifts, and (most importantly) functions like a full-body weight vest that increases both isotonic and isometric exertion throughout the entirety of the bulk. Dreambulkers often make rapid gains in strength, as well as in endurance-against-resistance. Also, when dreambulkers do finally cut back to low body fat levels, they usually retain gains in strength and muscle mass in their lean state that are unparalleled in people who have not done similar bulk-cut routines.

rage bulk

Similar to the conventional definition of a bulk; to increase muscle size and strength through a caloric surplus. But a rage bulk is where one is so sick and tired of being weak and small, they consume any amount of calories necessary to achieve their goal. That is, they force feed large volumes of food out of pure rage in order to put on extreme amounts of mass.

“Wow you must have such a big appetite!” - “No, I simply rage bulk”

Bulking Gas

When one starts their bulking cycle, typically the higher caloric intake (and often, a high fiber intake) leads to greatly increased release of gas, often with potent fragrance.
Rob decided to get back on his bulk around the winter time. As he wolfed down another cup of oats, he felt his belly rumble and churn loudly and strongly. It wouldn’t be long until the Bulking Gas set in he thought grimly.
