Troop Builders Anonymous

Troop building is a terrible sickness that will take over your life. I've heard these things referred to as plastic crack many times, but I believe that is a misrepresentation (I don't think too many dealers accept credit cards). For that reason I believe these Joes are a far more serious problem than drug addiction. Troop building for me started out simple, 3 of each trooper, then it was 6 but only on the weekends. Before I knew it I was leaving work early to look for troopers, buying them on ebay, anything I could do to get my hands on them. The red logos were my trooper of choice, but I found myself settling for the cheaper easier to find silver. I started hiding them all around the house, lying to my friends and family. Staying out all night hunting for them. I kept telling myself "just one more and we'll stop". I use to do a little but a little would'nt kill her, so a little got more and more...
My name is Fridge, and I'm a Troop Builder :rolleyes:

Damn man thats a hillarious read! Thank goodness I can control myself from the plastic crack, well sort of. Whenever I have the urge to take off and go to the stores, knowing that there isn't any on the pegs I go look at my little army of cobra troopers. An army of three! I feel better after I look at them for some strange reason...

-picks up a trooper and smells the the top of the bald head-

-mmmm feel better now-

LOL!
