Maybe I'm taking the whole thing too seriously, the stories from Mike S and Mark R depressed the hell out of me. Truth is, you're young only once. Later in life, you can buy the finest MOC/ NIB/ NOS version of the toy your parents refused to get you but the magic of make-pretend is gone forever.

If there's any justice in the world, those guys will remember the way their parents wrecked their childhoods when it's time for choosing a nursing home.

I just cannot stop laughing at that Dune story.

Also, I remember all sorts of variations on that whole "trick another kid into cursing" thing that figured into Justin's story:

"Say 'Sun Shine City' over and over again real fast."
"Say 'britches' over and over again real fast."
"Hold your tongue and say 'as'."
"Hold your tongue and say 'mother, father'."
