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

    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?

                    You mean other than all the movies, TV shows and even commercials that show people with loving dogs?

                    Yes, I did grow up with Lassie and Benji and I remember marketing campaigns for movies for both.
