I’ve been there before, but I realized that I should take pictures and share the awe I feel when I go by.

Found at Shady Lane Antique Mall just south of Terre Haute, Indiana

    That’s just part of the problem, isn’t it? All those Saturday morning cartoons were just half-hour ads for the toys, manufacturing demand in your mind.

      Is it really a problem for me in 2024? It’s not like I’m still going out and buying He-Man figures.

        It already happened. It’s already helped shape you as a person.

            You’re literally talking about wanting to look at things you wished you’d had as a kid.

              And? If my friend had a dog that I really liked and I wished I had a dog as a kid and someone showed me a picture of that dog, I’d really like seeing it. Have I been brainwashed by Big Dog?

                So you’re just gonna act obtuse now?

                  I’m not acting obtuse. I don’t see the difference between childhood nostalgia for a dog and childhood nostalgia for a toy. What’s the difference?

                    Did a marketing campaign manufacture your desire for a dog?
