🙄 come on, who's idea was it to make people with subscriptions be called pawn stars... that's just hilariously unfunny. 😴

But, I too believe it might be one bad pun too many - hence I have been phasing out the pawn star text for sometime. I bet no one even noticed, but it is true! 🙂 If you go to the subs pages these days, not one mention of PS anywhere!
Bet even if I do completely remove all reference to 'pawn stars' - the 'damage' has been done, subscribers will be called pawn stars forever more - which really is no bad thing.

Like once i had a rubber (eraser) that was nearly broken in half but it was sort of on a hinge joint. I drew a face on it so that the mouth was on the hinge bit and you could open and close it and make it talk. It was very hilariously unfunny.
( ...Actually, i still don't think it was lame, it was actually really cool, but everybody else seems to think it was lame. :'( )

notice that you tried to put a smile on people's faces with your effort. someone else, might have torn the eraser into 2 and tried to demonstrate his understanding of asexual reproduction. or he could have thrown them at neighbouring individuals calling them rubber bullets. or he could have rubbed them against one another to see whether they could simultaneously disappear in escherlike fashion. or he could have tried to pinch himself using the split and jumped about the room howling.
as you can see, none of these possibilities are funny and certainly not cool - so you should never feel your effort was in the least bit lame, but recognize it as a marvellous expression of the happiness most people on the planet strive to acquire.

You'll be sorry to know that eventually Lame Rubber Guy's jaw did detach from his head, and now resides peacefully in the pencilcase of my one true friend who appreciated him and like you, rejected the idea of him being lame. I regret to admit that Lame Rubber Guy's head is lost and jawless somewhere in France (probably).
