... and what of the shoplifters' condition then - huh?
Kleptomania - right.
The SHOPPER'S plight is far graver
--- SHOPAHOLICS R US, eh ---
for it simply CANNOT BE CURED
...EVER.
The evidence:
HA... that'll NEVER work...!!!
That may be the trigger, for some: divorce, hoarding habit
--- bang, shopping addiction with that!
But not everyone needed a trigger event;
some are natural born hoarders and shopaholics too!!!
Case in point:
Twice-cursed, eh...
like that comic-booky character who was a vampire
AND a werewolf too, on a full moon...!!!
SAD...
FORGET IT, SUGARMAMMA - see you on aisle 5!
... like YOU, of all peeps, would have a clue!!!
No kidding...!!!
Just look at the Shopping/Journal Queen here
maximize ALL of her credit cards -
just as she super-sizes too.
Sorry.
That was uncalled for - I know.
Couldn't be helped...
It is... like... too obvious, see?
OK - I'll shut up.
Let's wrap this up with some evidence, then,
(observations, really...)
from my most recent shopping spree...
(still - hey - I didn't buy all of that!)
(In fact... I bought none of it;
pictures are enough... for me!)
Hey - look who they brought back:
the 7Up cartoon-mascot... and Michael, for Pepsi!
Hoping that'll catch on fire again... hmm?
Oh yeah... everything is SPEED-orientated now...
oh yeah...
everything!
SPEED DIAL --- hell, we don't even remember
our own phone numbers anymore!
We don't bother memorizing ANY OF THEM ---
because it's all on SPEED DIAL!!!
EVERYTHING... IS AUTOMATIC!
... where have I heard that before, again?
Oh... right.
1997... Twenty years ago.
I feel like a Musketeer...
Anyway...
What is Luke so angry about?
Heck... what is Leia so HAPPY about?
She really did do drugs while filming the original trilogy...
WHO ARE THESE LITTLE PEOPLE?!?
And these sure aren't your daddy"s Hot Wheels... anymore!
But never mind all that...
HEY - whaddaya know... MAGAZINES still EXIST...!!!
(more on that on that other blog of mine...!)
oops... spoke too soon!!!
... and spoke too soon again (?!?)
Back to collectibles then...
But now this... is an outrage. Blasphemy. Heresy!
Mixing these three elements together... UGH!!!
Habs must have heard about the upcoming AQUAMAN film -
and they want their piece of the pie alright!
Not gonna happen - habs-nuts!
Aquaman - and, alas, Batman... and even Black Widow (what the hell is she doing there)
have nothing in common with that hirsute agent orange you call... Youppi.
(A yuppy... hippie? Whatever... gone rogue - obviously!)
And that cup there... that ashtray, really... along with that logo of yours...
it is all beneath the King of the Seven Seas!!!
Agghhhh --- that juxtaposition just irks me to the utmost!!!
And it irritates the Sea King too - you can bet on it... hhhhabs!!!
Let's just move on here - before we lose control and trash the place!
Off to... Swarovsky!
Marilyn... at Niagara Falls... to sell Mont Blanc.
Makes sense.
But Marilyn is dead - Christine is not!
... this one any relation to Lord Brett Sinclair...?
You can tell we moved on to another...
category of store - eh?
One that allows us to photograph the merchandise
-for reviewing purposes such as this-
as we please and see fit!
And here are the two coolest characters of the whole bunch:
... those who never make it onto the cover, though.
Maybe the back cover - one of them - sometimes!
Anyhow...
Would you believe some would gift the above
DC coloring books
inside a Marvel bag
(featuring their sad version of the
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!)
like this:
Yikes!
Hmm... but all this to say... to ask, really...
is it shoppers' addiction -
or collectors' obsession?!?
