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

In what way?

[–] SpaceNoodle 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] FlyingSquid 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] FlyingSquid 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.
