Okay, I realize that those stickers probably never had anything to do with
animals...
BUT STILL! Its the principle!

(I didn't think this forum would attract all the attention it gets I am happy!)
Legos legos legos, I still have all my old legos. I laugh every time my
little brother gives me a Lego catalogue and they have this section called
"Classic Legos," of which I own every set. And damn those erector sets,
with all those metal pieces! I gave mine away several years ago to a
goodwill, hoping that someone somewhere would succeed where I could not.
I don't remember the sticker craze, but I do remember the Garbage Pail
Kids! Those things were awesome! Sick as hell, but awesome.
And Ironboots, be careful what you say, PETA has operatives everywhere and
might try to recruit you after that boisterous outburst of anti-fur

Yeah, chameleon... Old school legos rocked. There were castle dudes and
cool outerspace dudes and city dudes, and it all made sense.
Nowadays they have weird sets. I get confused when I see them on tv
nowadays. But you say they're still selling the good ol' legos? Well, maybe
there's hope yet.
As for the PETA, I'm alright with that... I hear they teach you how to
blend into shadows and travel amongst the treetops... And that could come
in handy sometime...

I had a Duplo Lego Bunny. We still have it. Furry and red. With little
white rope handles so that you could carry it on the go. My sister and I
fought over who's it was, we still do. Now she has given it to her
kids...but they don't play with it too much.

Alright, get this!
My dad ordered new carpet for the entire house, and we had to move
basically everything to the basement. Oh, the amazing things unearthed in
those days or rearranging the house!
First of all, all the clothes my dad wore in his biker days. Imagine, a
white collar worker, shuffling out of his closet leather jackets and boots
well worn and still smelling of the exhaust of his three Harley-Davidsons.
(all of them were sold soon after I was born ) And then
we uncovered a masive collection of vinyls, and of course a record player
to go along with them. By far, the greatest discovery was the collection
of Kate Bush cds that I haven't seen since I was a wee little one.
Kate Bush is goth as fuck, as we used to say in the olden days of shmeng
