Do old people sleep?

There is no way you can possibly know or understand why some of our members are "Wally-World" toy junkies. I haven't figured it out yet. I did see a breakout at the Effingham Wally-World, but it was for "Blue Thingys" and not VW toys as it normaly is. 8)

It's 2:11 is this the time to scope out Walmart?


What you need to do is visit your local Wally-World at all times of the night/morning . . . you'll eventually figure out about what time they put out new toys and what time all the other toy junkies are shelfs.  The "perfect" time is just after they finish stocking but before the other junkies get there.  2:11 is a little early in the triangle . . . but it might be about right in your area.

Its to bad that Betty Ford doesn,t have some kind of help for you toy junkies. I would almost bet if some of you junkies sold your toys and pooled your money you could open a VW dealership. Then you could play with the real thing. :lol:

i have the little toys AND the big toys... but someone seems interested in most of my watercooled stuff... which will give me more money for the aircooled stuff :) i would be rich if i sold ALL my vw stuff. every spare penny since i was 16 has gone in to this "hobby" (read addiction)

I know. Its hard not  to get "Hung UP" on these "Critters" A lot of them need more help than the owners. You can't save them all. I have learned to turn a blind eye unless its really a rare "beast" and I happen to have a pocket full of $ which doesn't happen often thank goodness :lol:

I think I just figured out why I'm half crazy and, believe it or not, it has nothing to do with Volkswagens, Wal-Mart, or toys!

I've spent about 50% of my waking hours in the center of a 40 acre metal building in Chickamauga GA for the PAST 26 YEARS as of today . . . and this is my second round of employment there!    :tard:  

If it weren't for VWs and VW toys, I'd really be crazy!   :lol:

Maybe I was as smart as I thought I was when I was 18 . . . it only took me 7 months to figure out I needed to something else for a living the first time I was there.    :lol:
