Erm - The author of this post.

Shut up.

That is DW's interest, He enjoys doing it. I'm sure there are others too who enjoy playing with figurines.

Don't mock someone because of their hobby - It just shows how small minded and idiotic you are.

I enjoy playing computer games (hence the name). I watch anime, I like to randomly open Xbox's and tinker with the insides, I like soldering stuff, I like computers.

I like it, And to be honest I don't give a f**k what anyone thinks about it.

So...why is this guy getting laughed at? I've got a wonderful and very valuable collection of antique Roman and Greek history books (including an incredibly rare Elizabethian translation of Aulus Paulinus' works). So far, so elitest.

But I've also got a HUGE collection of graphic novels, computer games, Terry Pratchett books....
Man...I hate cultural elitism.

1) they weren't my kids

2) they saw the helmets and begged me to let them try them on

3) I didn't "make" them wear them

4) they weren't naked.

Granted, but you seemed to be able to remember it fine, and if you had then you might have wanted to avoid that seller in future.

Goatboy doesn't know the exact date of a book he bought months ago at 10am shocker!!!!eleven

Don't think it is sad at all. But if someone sold you a Strand magazine with Holmes stories in it from 1834 then you've been had, Conan Doyle wasn't born until 1859.
