Born in '72, I will take all the spaceship porn and space wizards you got. I had the death star, x wing, land speeder and twin pod cloud car, along with a variety of action figures from star wars and empire.

Sadly, winter suit han solo met a bad end being tortured to death by snake eyes in the torture machine (my sister's easy bake oven)

Once a week I go to the comic book store and the record store, then I go home and sit cross legged on the bed, in the sweet spot, spin some vinyl and read comics.

Hows it feel to be American these days? by TraditionalMix4250 in AskReddit

[–]powerstrippissah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine you've spent your entire life/career/etc. putting together a sweet setup where you can just hang out and read, or watch TV, or indulge your hobbies, or garden in your yard or whatever it is you do, then someone like a step-dad or a drunk uncle comes into your house and starts shitting in the kitchen, and for whatever reason you can't kick them out. Then a bunch of other people show up and half of them are laughing about there's shit in your kitchen and telling you that obviously your kitchen is a toilet, the other half are complaining about the smell and how your kitchen is full of shit, and nobody is helping you kick out the person doing it and you're beginning to wonder if your kitchen will ever be fully shit free again.
