Man choses wife over 6 foot World of Warcraft Orc Statue. I believe his man-card was just rendered void.

Wait its appalling that he chose his wife or appalling that he had to make the choice in the first place?

depends on the wife, I'd say, but in this case - appaling he gave away the orc...
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

No excuse for giving up something that awesome. None!
I wonder if she has a special compartment in her purse just for his balls?

I am appalled, but not by the story...

Damn. I wish I knew about this before he sold it. I'd so have it sitting in my front yard right now. Or maybe rig up some kind of rail system that shoots it around to the front door whenever someone knocks.

I'm glad the statue went to Aberdeen.
the locals will believe it's one of their own come home.

She was terrified of the statute reads to me like she was terrified of what other people would think when they walked into the married couples home.
He made the right decision, btw. Divorce would probably cost more than that statue is worth.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

He did NOT make the right decision. Marriage is about compromise. Am I getting rid of all my Star Wars and nerd stuff when I get married?
Absolutely Not!!!
edit: HD, if you had a 6ft Vader would you give it away when you get married? hmmmmm?

Don't you even BEGIN to compare the Wars to WoW.
I've had girlfriends buy me Star Wars stuff. So, they knew what they were getting into when they started dating me, so there would be no sudden, "Ani's gotta go." If, the worst happened and it did come to this, well, I'm pretty much a lawyer, it'd be in the pre-nup.

He chose poorly in the wife department. First the statue. Then his computer games. Then all his friends. Finally his will to live. All gone!

Who wants a Vader statue when you could have Jar Jar?

I write this with tears of ineffable sadness streaming down my face. By my posting on this thread, the worst thing possible has happened, you all who thought me such an intelligent upstanding (all right so I suffer from megalomania as well) now find out that I am a recovering WoW addict. I loved my Orc warrior w/ ashkandi back when it meant two shotting newbs all day... To have one of those IRL.... well cmon up to the door Mr. Sales man! PWNED! Urge to play wow rising..... Must resist.... must not... give up....

send them my way.
also, the guy had the statue for six god damn years. she's just figuring out ways to make him more lonely and frightened and easier to control. like Rodeo said (oh God am I agreeing with him? what's the world gone to...), it's just a step on the way of ensnaring his will to live and independant thought.
should've booted the bitch tho moment she started complaining!

way to link to a crappy site.
Though that model makes me pine for the days of Alien/s where people would actually make models and shit instead of shitty cgi for everything.
