Everyone knows that grown men collecting action figures is nerdy. Buying two of each action figure, one to keep on a card, and one to keep on your shelf, is even nerdier. Troop building is way fucking nerdy too. Nobody here would be proud to tell their girlfriend/mom/wife/ect. that they went to Target when they opened to clean out their G.I. Joe action figures, they would be kind of ashamed, I'm sure. It's ok to be a little nerdy now and then, but 2 of each figure and troop building is gay. I'm just here to point out to you that your nerdiness is preventing the Joe team from getting new recruits.
I tell my wife. She laughs with good nature about it. Know why? Well, for one, she knows I'm not gay. (rimshot). But, for another, she also knows it makes me happy, and that's the point of a hobby, right?
BTW, I am as nerdy as they come. I play D&D. I read all kinds of genre fiction. I went to see
Iron Man
tonight and delighted in it. I will go to Free Comic Book Day tomorrow and love it. I have toys all over my apartment. Yes, I am a
nerd
. You may have noticed I am comfortable with that. Nor do I live in my mom's basement, work at a fast food restaurant, or any other nonsense. Guess what? Nerds are everywhere. Nerds won. Nerds are running the world because nerds invented computers. Deal.
