Of Course that pales in comparison to the "Ethnic Cleansing of 1981", when my mother graciously decided to throw out my comic books and trading cards while I was out playing in the Little League playoffs.

I won't go there as far as the amount of comic books and trading cards that were unceremoniusly removed from my possesion, but I will tell you this one story.


It's 1989, and I decide to start collecting cards again. After 8 years of not collecting anything, I had basically forgotten what most of my cards had looked like.

I walk into a store, and I take a look at a hockey rookie card that is going for about 750.00. I ask to see the back of it, because it looked vaguely familiar. Back then, hockey cards, and most cards for that matter, had a little cartoon on the back.

I take a look at it, its a caricature of a player on the ice looking very timid with his knees shaking.

I proceed to throw up in my mouth, especially after reading the caption and realizing that I had a handful of these cards in the past.

The caption?? And I'm paraphrasing here.

"Wayne made his professional debut in the WHA at the age of 17"


YOU figure out who I'm talking about, while I run to the bathroom to throw up in my mouth again

Oh my God...

I have a ton of hockey cards since 1986-1991. They used to be worth a lot but I think their value dropped faster than Paris Hilton on her knees.

I saw rookie cards going for a couple of bucks while in the past they were worth a couple of hundreds. I used to buy a guide with all the prices. I don't see those anymore, not even sites with the prices.

Oh my God...

Did I mention that she also threw out my Walter Payton, Ray Bourque (Without the name scratched out, no less) Dave Winfield, Julius Erving, and Larry Bird/Magic Johnson rookie cards out as well?

 

[KB824]

Oh wait there's more.

The Star Wars comic books, the Daredevil Issue #1 comic book.

Gone

Any reason in particular why she punished you so much?

I had a tendency to leave things all around the house, so I guess she had enough.

One time I left some Matchbox cars in the yard, and she was mowing the lawn, and one of them got caught in the balde and caused it to snap.

I'm running as if my life depnded on it. She takes off one of her Dr.Scholl's wooden sandles and nails me square in the ass from 50 feet away. You would've thought I got hit by a bus

2 of the worst things that she ever did to me was

#1) Throwing out all of that stuff

#2) Telling me that we are related to Vini Poncia


Who's Vini Poncia??


remember those abyssmal "Dynasty" and "Unmasked" albums that turned Kiss into an adult contemporary group?


Guess who the producer was

Why did she do that???

 

[KB824]

Why did she do that???

I was a rotten kid, apprently.

Never mind the fact that I earned my money for that shit doing paper routes and collecting recyclable bottles

I didn't know about it until 15 years ago.

It figures that my family had something to do with their demise, though.
