I want to make something clear. I really don't care what people think of stuff I enjoy. I like what I like and if others think it's stupid, then tough. But, there are a few things I avoid bringing up because I know very few people would understand - and yes, almost certainly ridicule. Here they are in all their embarrassing glory.

Done. Top five smoke shop mannequins holding signs? Working on that one. Yes, we love top five lists. And, here are the top five reasons why.
