This might step on some toes, but I don't get adults who take comic books seriously. I mean, I'll watch and enjoy the occasional Marvel (or even DC) movie, but I know it's shiny junk.

I understand old comic books ( I love comic art), not the appeal of all the movies.
Not a big fan of slasher movies.

I've said it before, but I don't understand people who emigrate to a different country then immediately set about trying to make their new country just like their old one rather than assimilating to their new homeland.  It's like, "Hey, if you liked your old country so much, why didn't you just STAY there?"

I'm expecting to retire in Mexico or Central America and I'm prepared for some people to not like me because I'm an outsider no matter what I do or how I try to fit in. I expect to hang out mostly with other expats.

I don't get some of the more extreme fetishes. I get some of the more questionable stuff, but I don't see the appeal to excrement, vomit, blood.

I'm an immigrant - from Zimbabwe to South Africa - and when I got here in 1987, I realized things were way different to what I was used to at home. So I thought, just go with it.

I have trouble understanding why some Americans get upset when someone speaks a language other than English in public.

Back in the day my friend Mandy and I used to dress weirdly and go out in public and pretend to carry on running conversations in a gibberish language complete with wildly abnormal inflections and sweeping hand gestures, with wide innocent eyes and sometimes we'd walk up and ask people questions in that language while holding some embarrassing product in our hands. Great reactions.

'Xactly. I love old comic books, but I don't keep them in plastic in A-Z order. They lay around the house. I don't have a lot anymore, I gave most to my son Eddie and my grandson.
Most are pretty dog-eared.
That's why when I get a model kit, I don't get all fancy. I ain't in a contest. I'm just doing it for fun.

Because perhaps the place they left had no work. Or are being persecuted. You can love your home and customs, but may HAVE to leave.
I'm sure most German Jews didn't want to pack up they're meager belongings, or just run like hell, to get out.
But I'm sure they miss they're homeland.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
