No shame in that if that's your thing, so why try and turn it into something it isn't?
After 20 years of toy forums where the same fucking things have been asked, discussed, dissected, bisected, rationalized, raged over, gushed over, petitioned and complained about ad nauseum, the real answer is ultimately always the same.
Besides, the guy's question was disingenuous. What he was really saying in a veiled way was, "How can you like this shit? I don't like it, so how can you?"
Ok, again I can get that. Some shit does get old quick. Personally I try not to bitch to much but it does happen time to time. I have been doing this for a hell of a long time and I have learned tomorrow is another day, but there is always days where you just get irked. The target sell out irked me that day. The way I equate it though is like going to have a bowl of cereal only to realize you're low on milk then you run out to Target to grab a gallon and they are out, now you really got a craving for some cereal so you now you're going to have to make another stop, instantly irked. But you either go looking for more milk or you eat pop tarts instead. I since just said fuck it I get or I don't but I damn well won't be grabbing them from a scalper so pop tarts it is.
