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

    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.

                I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you.

                I have neither the time nor the crayons for this.

                  I don’t believe you can. You said:

                  Did a marketing campaign manufacture your desire for a dog?

                  And I gave you specific examples of that very thing.
