I put advertising in with bankers, lawyers and politicians. Usually it's mislabeled and fairly mis-leading.
But my favorite commercial is the Miller Lite where the karaoke guy is buying beer and sings "Carry On My Wayward Son".
Not far behind is any of the Dollar Shave Club commercials.
As far as people looking at me funny or calling me a nerd when they find out I play with toy trains....
Let's see where that ranks with:
- constantly looking at a phone or texting someone in the same room
- spending hours on your Facebook or Tweeter (sp) acct so you can embarrass yourself to the internet with some photo or inappropriate comment you have to retract
- spending hours to hone your motor skill coordination on a video game
- re-living someone else's sports efforts because your lack of talent or weight
prevents you from competing
- participating/following in a FANTASY league ( football, baseball, basketball...)
- blogging on the internet for a cause no one gives a ---- about
- taking chemicals or liquids to escape your reality
- being able to quote line for line TV episodes or movie dialogue
- reading, digesting and organizing your database of soap opera, TV drama latest info
- watching/following DWTS, The Voice, The Batchelor, any MTV type show (except Ridiculousness)
- camping out in line for a movie ticket, concert ticket, sports ticket, Black Friday sale
- collecting beanie babies, rocks, coins, stamps, antiques, artwork, antique cars, watches, shoes, dishes, baseball cards, your prized motorcycle, covering your body with tattoos or piercings, sports memorabilia, big game trophies,.....it is a long list
- going to garage sales every week to buy someone else's junk (trains excluded)
It looks like everybody has THEIR thing.
So yeah, you might catch me playing with trains or watching trains on the side of the road. Maybe reading a train magazine, following this forum, or going to a train show.
I can live with that.
