Ah, marriage. :lol

J/K, man. :monkey5

My wife actually enjoys her fair share of ****tails... but she's pregnant right now... so no drinking. I had a beer last night in front of her and she said like five times, "Boy that looks good!"

EDIT: I love how it edited ****tails!

I think I will leave these to the wife in the divorce (if I can even find them at this point). :lol

Now I think it would be fair to say anyone taking a girl home and strapping one of these bad boys on, would have no chance of getting laid. Mind you if you were the kinda guy who'd wear a C3P0 condom, it might not be a girl in the bed with you:lol

They really need to do something about the words that are censored on this forum. I couldn't even post the word r-e-p-u-t-a-b-l-e in a topic the other day because it censored out the p-u-t-a portion of the word. What the hell is p-u-t-a anyway? :rolleyes:

Today, whaddaya mean today? I put some booze in a humidifier before I go to bed at night. When I wake up in the morning the whole room's drunkdefied. I got up to go to the bathroom this mornin', only fell down twice.
 
OMG... those condoms are one of the funniest things I have ever seen. People say Star Wars fans would buy a piece of dog doo doo if it has the words Star Wars on it... after looking at those condoms those people might be right. :D

I would buy then not because they are SW completely but becasue they are just way to funny not to buy. Assuming they are fairly cheap.

They are on ebay now... here is part of the description. You are right.. these may be too funny not to buy.

THE CONDOMS HAVE BEEN STORED CAREFULLY AWAY FROM STRONG SUNLIGHT IN A PET FREE & SMOKE FREE HOME. THEY DO HAVE A SELL BY DATE ON THE BACK OF 2007, BUT I STRONGLY ADVISE ANYONE BUYING THEM THAT NOT TO USE THEM. YOU CAN HAVE AS MUCH FUN SHOWING THEM OF TO ANYONE WHO HAS A GOOD SENCE OF HUMOUR. THESE WERE ONLY AVAILIBLE IN JAPAN SOME YEARS AGO AND ARE OF COURSE EXTREMELY COLLECTABLE & THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH THEM.

Bleh!

Most of my negative reaction to these photos come down to a question of aesthetics. I don't like the "my house is a toystore" look mainly because a bunch of in-package toys is usually going to look like a mess if displayed together because the colors and styles of the packaging (if not its contents) don't compliment each other at all. It's just like decorating the same room with Victorian antiques and furniture from Ikea or mixing paisley with plaid... it just doesn't GO together. It's too busy.

Similarly, I chafe a bit about displaying figures of different scales together unlkess there's some thematic link; a bunch of Darth Mauls or endoskeletons.

Decorating using artistic contrast can be done, but it's really difficult. Maybe someone should write a book on interior design for collectors.

And I'm not sure why anyone would choose to sleep in a twin bed unless they share a room with a subling or are in a dormitory. It's just not comfortable for sleeping, much less for sex.
 
I think a lot of us have the right to critique this guy's obsession because we've been there before.

We have understanding and empathize, but we can also tease, because we are also teasing ourselves about where we've been (or still are).

My collection was never quite so huge, but I had carded figures on the wall and shelves of dolls in my bedroom.

Eventually I decided enough of that and took it all down and limited my collection.

I still have more than I can display in a "classy" way. But its more focused and minimalist than it used to be. Thats the way I personally like it.

This guy's collection reminds me of a Jackson Polluck painting. Color just splattered all over. I'm not a fan, but he might be.

He might like the cluttered look. Not just because he can house lots of stuff, but he might like the style.

On the other side of the coin, I don't like the glass shelves and doors that some people keep their collection behind.

It looks classy and clean, but its not accessible or fun.

I want my collection to be organized and clean, but also fun and interactive.
 
Man,


I would go crazy in all that clutter....horrible. I feel sorry for him.

Now, I don't begrudge this fellow for his passion AT ALL. He's a dedicated collector and that's his right. But, whoa:

Seriously, after looking at all of those pics I couldn't help but start questioning this hobby of ours.

I love collecting and have my fair share of collectables,but that's just plain scary!:horror
 
Wow...since this was necroposted (thank you by the way because either I didn't see it the first time or completely forgot about it....) I have to laugh reading this as one of the first comments on the RPF about him:
