We must remember that legitimacy for a pop culture entertainment franchise is not having a movie or bubble bath bottles shaped like the main protagonist, legitimacy is having people not laugh at you when you quote lines from that movie in public or tell people you use that bubble bath....which may be my favoritest line I've read on the web this week.

Here's to hoping that our geekiness doesn't ever implode to even greater absurdity.
I'll say it again:
If we weren't prepared to be made fun of, WHY DID WE START COLLECTING TOYS? And why the hell would we want this dumb habit/hobby to be taken seriously?
Then again, my e-penis is exceptionally tiny and this is about all the interaction with other TF fans I have.
