robots in disguise
urban outfitters is following me. i ordered something online and now i get a gazillion catalogs and emails. but i don't mind, because since they've been following me, they've gotten to know me. they made a t-shirt that is me. first they take optimus prime, the leading character on transformers, one of my favorite cartoons as a child. then they throw in the year of my birth, 1984. as if all of this were not enough, they made it baby blue, and i have 8327498237459823 baby blue shirts, because that's my favorite color for a shirt. so despite it's hefty $28 price tag, i'm gonna buy it. and my younger, thriftier self would hate me for it. because my younger self would think $10 is too much. but then my younger self would forgive my present self because after all, it's optimus prime.

too right.
when i was younger i could never have justified spending £50 on a hotrod toy but as im older and can afford such things now its ok. now the movie is out and people start ot get back in to transformers all of the people who have loved it for the last 20 or so years will be right at the front of the queue to buy.
remember the man infront carrying the autobot tshirt and a load of new toys probably isn buying htem for his kid
