Selling a piece of your childhood

Remember when you were a kid and you get pressie when you do well in exams, during Christmas, birthdays or a surprise from your rich aunt? When J told me he got this as a gift in the 80's i could have imagined how he must have ripped off the packaging with much eager and excitement. Without fail, ripping off the toy's packaging thrills every kid till this day. As adults, we do enjoy ripping off "packaging" as well (*grin*), but am sure it's not the packaging of toys.

20 years down the road, we look at our childhood belongings with great sense of nostalgia, but as we grow and understand the value of money, when the price is right its goodbye to that piece of your childhood.

Its new owner beckons but with much to do still... cause it look like crap now.

So the process of purifying-old-crap is carried out. Here are the instructions:

1. Dismantle the set and steal borrow your housemates/ brother/ sister/ wife/ gf's (as long as its not your own) toothbrush.

2. Soak it into hydrochloric acid (preferably neat).

3. Brush every single piece with force.

4. Rinse it with pure water.

4. Dry it with your housemate/ brother/ sister/ wife/ gf's (keyword: not yours) bath towel and remember to ask permission first.

5. Re-fix it using your imagination (This might take hours or years depending on IQ) Voila! As good as new.

6. Say goodbye to your friend's childhood.
