In which I talk about my deprived childhood.
Yes indeed, deprived. Truly, utterly deprived. Deprived because my childhood didn't have Trek toys anywhere near as cool as this phaser and communicator.
I mean, given how obsessively I played with my Trek toys at age eight, I probably would have had a complete psychotic break with cool looking toys. And to get them I probably would have had to go on a multi-state killing spree to get the money and boxtops. But it would be worth it.
As for now...now I am sadly, too old and too mature for such toys. I have responsibilities and expenses- heck I have to monitor my food purchases now. I would need a major mid-life crisis in order to be able to justify those toys. Though I could point out to RxM that they would be cheaper than a 21 year-old model and a Porsche. I think.
Hmm. I'm feeling some middle-age stress coming on here....
