When we were finished packing up his 'collection' we had a Trailblazer and a pickup truck filled with boxes of porn. And then, we had to make a second trip for the rest of his porn.
And people think we as collectors are somehow maladjusted......
WTF? Jeez, why to primitive males waste their time on such filth? I mean, seriously, that's freakin retarded. Can he 'use' all that porn at the same time?
I know, right? I highly doubt that he can utilize all of it at all, really. I also find it hard to believe that all of it could actually be different. This pal of mine also was diagnosed with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.....a shiney quarter to the first who can guess why! Now, I've given this matter a good amount of thought because I'm like that I guess, but this friend of mine tries to laugh at me because i collect action figures, claiming that his collection' is at least acceptable because at least it's 'manly'. Now I know we usually get into the repainted figure topic around here, and in truth a repaint is only valuable in the eyes of the person who buys it becuase it is, excepting the paint job, a figure that already might exist in ones' collection. But I still can see no way that one would have two and a half truck loads of porn and not admit that so many of them are essentially identical. Plus, there's no ethical problems with actgion figures really.
Just for clarity's sake I guess, let me just say that I am a reasonably well adjusted, heterosexual male with a college degree and a good job. I have a vast action figure collection encompassing a number of different arenas in addition to Transformers. I've gotta say, I appreciate women and sex and all that, but I have this problem with it being exploited, for lack of better descriptions I guess. Plus, I just plain ol' f****n' don't see how all that porn and my action figures both count as 'collections', and how I am somehow inferior because my #1 hobby isn't masturbating.
