I used to keep it "in the closet", then said screw it. I put some on my Locker in Baghdad, and not one person said anything. I wasted a lot of time thinking of witty responses, too....
I don't travel without my 82 Flash or my Slave Girl Leia.... This probably belongs in the "why you are a nerd" thread.... Last edited by chief_1; 03-25-2009 at 09:36 PM.. |

Mostly by family members when I was @ 14-18. They said I should grow up. No one else though. It did kind of shock my wife. We started dating in high school in 94 and she came over to my friends house that I practically lived with. She saw the Joes and Star wars figures and D&D stuff laying around everywhere. Just imagine a 2 story house with 3 teenage boys and no adult supervision. She did not mind it just caught her off guard due to the crowd I was a part of ( long hair, tattoos,bands, we all drove hot rods). I told her that was why it was so easy to not have to hide it, we didn't care what anyone thought of us. Even those friends who were more grown up back then would eventually end up playing with the toys left around the house.
Now at 33, married 10 years, 1- 6 year old boy, a career and a nice spread; no one gives me crap. My wife sees it as less destructive than my old habits and it keeps me home spending quality time with our son. That and really, who would give a guy thats 6ft, 210, covered in tattoos grief over toys....besides my son. |

Naw, my peeps usually give me the "You Buggin" look. I do Hip Hop music so it don't fit my steel-o. My daughter and son thinks its cool. My son is 4, and he knows when daddy gets a new toy, he gets one. My daughter, 13, just wants a pair of kicks everytime I get my fix. Mostly I get looks and "under the breath" mumbles. No sweat off my nuggets.

I don't really know. I have no shame in being an action figure collector.
I talk about it pretty openly. Other people do things that I have no interest in like have children, having their car detailed every hour, or playing World of Warcraft for so long that you forget to eat and drop dead. I say let them make fun of me. I encourage it. I'll just make fun of them as well. I hold no malice, but I don't hold my tung. |

Well, I was at walmart yesterday and was looking at the Joes when these 3 thugs walked by and started snickering. I asked them what's up and they started with the "adult playing with toys" angle.
I went off on them, threatened to beat their asses and that's when their mom came around and scolded me for picking on 6 year olds. |
