I was getting my HVAC replaced last week so I had about 5 guys there installing. So Some of my collection is up on the bookshelves next to the electrical Panel (Where they cut out 3 friggin holes in my ceiling!) The two younger guys, one black guy and one white guy, thought my collection was cool. They shared their memories of some toys they had at some point.
The older guy in charge, who I guess is my age (mid 30s) took a look at it and said, "you're a GIJoe Freak. You must be pretty excited about the Movie coming out." Mind you it was not too condesending in tone. I said yeah, "it's my childhood dream come true." Although I'm not too excited about the movie I know I'll still like it. The point is they all knew about GIJoe. Even though they most likely think "WTF is this grown man doing playing with toys?" I thought about what else I could be spending my money on which would seem more age appropriate, as I wrote him a check for $8,000. I wanted to cry. (No army building my New $20 a day ROC habit.)

Ev'ry now and then unpleasant persons will target me with ridicule for my action figure purchases.
I find a bright-and-sunshiny smile, a coquettish wink, and blowing them a kiss tends to rattle them to the point of stuttering incoherence. Make love, not war. |

SO TRUE!!!! He just wanted to be a hater because his useless wife pry tells him he can't get anything. If she was "cool" she would of gave an input of her opinion. It was def a wife thing not you.

I would have said "Yeah and that bitch is way uglier that the hooker I saw you with last night." And walked away.
