This is a friend of mine; He makes ~180 k per year in a highly respected position in a highly respected firm. He has his own office near Times SQ and this is his mid-day email. Nice job huh?

"YES, darth vader is mine!!!! for months and months i would go to toys r us every other day and there would be no vader.
they have a signs everywhere saying darth vader and clones are limited to 1 per person but i have never seen any vader figures ever available.
i assume all the dorks would line up early there the first day and buy them all up. they would buy 1 and exit the store and come back in....or the dorks who work there just bought all of them before they even hit the shelf and sold them on ebay or some shit.

today while i was checking out a collection editions of voda in another section of the store...and hidden in the back behind all the yodas was a darth vader . someone was hiding it...kinda like at blockbuster when a new rental came out and someone would hide that movie in another section of old movies so no one would find it.

yes, vader is MINE finally. he need no introduction.....he's darth vader!!!!
"luke....i'm your father".
now i wish i can open it and play with him but ......i decided to leave him in the original package and put him on the toy shelf.
i'm a little afraid it will be stolen overnite...... "

and here is the reply to him:

"I would like to point out few things:

"for months and months i would go to toys r us...."

"all the dorks would line up ... and buy them"

"today while i was checking out...and hidden in theback...was a darth vader..."

"yes, vader is MINE finally."

"i wish i can open it and play with him"

I'm sorry, but damn, you're such a dork!
