When I was a kid I thought there was some connection to the song, too. cash crab posted:The second one is that until I was about twenty-four, I pronounced the name of that restaurant as "Chick-a-Fila" because I apparently cannot read.

Guy makes my stupid hobbies look downright sensible. Thank you, crazy guy. Edit: you can't really call what he does a "hobby" though. It's more like... hoarding than aything else, I suppose. Trabant has a new favorite as of 07:49 on Sep 16, 2018 |

In five to ten years, these people will be bankrupted, and I will feel a slight tingle of joy. Yeah they're not even good toys You just stick them on your shelf next to a sign saying "Remember this movie?"

bony tony posted:In five to ten years, these people will be bankrupted, and I will feel a slight tingle of joy. I've got friends who lose their poo poo over whatever FuncoPops come out. They're always posting thier latest purchases on Facebook. When I finally had a chance to see what they looked like up close at the store, all I could think is 'This is what everyone's going apeshit for?'. I remember the crazes over Cabbage Patch dolls and Beanie Babies and at least with those, they were still toys a child could play with. FuncoPops are just dust catchers. I'm not sure if I moved past nerd culture or nerd culture's moved past me, but I'm just not getting the point of the rampant consumerism with it.

 I remember I had a couple of Beanie Babies. I'm almost certain I had a Daffy Duck Beanie Baby. Did they make official tie-in ones or would it just have been a similar thing?

Keeping up with the Jones’s for the nerd culture crowd. I own more than one FunkoPop but 75% of those were gifts because to me that’s where those figures fit in: don’t know what to buy a coworker/distant relative/gaming group member for a birthday/holiday? “Oh hey, I know this person likes Show, this is a fun thing to get and in my budget.” The collecting though....I think in part it carried over from the original vinyl toy hobby where runs of items were genuinely limited to some extent. Part of it though is good old fashioned completist attitude also shared by nerdy folks.

I have one (Ronan the Accuser) and at least you can tell who it is supposed to be. He's got the hammer and everything. A lot of them are some white dude in a shirt and you're supposed to just know? Is it someone from Supernatural, Vampire Diaries, Riverdale? WHO KNOWS?!

McDonald's had beanie babies in happy meals. It was not uncommon during the craze so see bags of food thrown out of windows on the side of the road. If I had a pic it could be Aug, and capitalism.jpg.

It's a good thing your child's teachers aren't mandatory reporters and don't legally have to tell CPS when you pull this poo poo! Have you tried telling your kid not to do that, or taking away privileges, or a host of other techniques that don't involve bitching on facebook?

My TL at work has Castiel on her desk, but not in his iconic trench coat look- he's in some random outfit that was in a single episode. The only way you could tell it's someone from Supernatural without asking is the knowledge that she is obsessed with Supernatural.
