I like playing with army men - 40% Normal

I am in my late 30's and i still engage in an old habbit that i cant seem to break. I enjoy playing with army men while im on the toilet, i started when i was a boy and some how its carried on in my adult life. I keep a basket full of them under my sink my wife says im weird but whenever she starts to give me sh*t i only bring up how she cant quit smoking and she drops it. I feel like a boy doing it and id like to quit but i feel obligated alot of them have had the same names for years and i feel in harmony when i play. Is this normal?
Do you think it's normal?

I used to play with army men constantly. Name them, give them personalities and pasts, all that shit. Now I only wish that I could get the same enjoyment from them. I have tried, but it is not the same. So, no, it is not normal, but who gives a shit?
I envy you.

If you care about them as much as you say, then no it's not mormal. You are clinging on to feelings of the past.

But you would make a Army General!

We take army men and set them up around the school in un-obvious places e.g. up on lights, behind tv's etc...see how long it takes teachers to notice them.

But then again we're 15...Army men rule, stick with your habit.

im a woman and i dont think that what you do is weird or unnormal i think for a man to have fun is odd and should be more common. if it makes you unhappy pick up a book instead.

It's not normal, but it is hilarious and i'm sure people would be more entertained than freaked out if they found out that you play with army men when you're on the toilet.

LOL!

...I'm really sorry, man, but the mental image of a 30 guy sitting on the crapper with little army men in his hands is beyond funny. However, I have no room to talk, because there is a certain thing from my childhood which I have carried into my adult life, so I won't give you a hard time. :)

What's wrong with it? I used to have army guys when a kid - they were a lot of fun.

1) Its nice that you still have that playful connection and imagination.

2) You are just killing time while on the crapper. So what?

1 & 2 = Normal.

Look up Warhammer 40,000.
Let your addiction to army men raise to a new level! Blow stuff up (In imaginary plastic terms) with the single coolest lookin' little plastic badasses i've ever known.
Its a tabletop wargame where you build, paint and can play out battles with a full tabletop ruleset, where you customize every aspect of your personal army.
If it's Army you like in particular from a Vietnam era, check out the Imperial Guard from warhammer 40,000. :)
Good luck!

LMAO - I thought you were talking about actual people - until I read the part that you kept them in a basket under the sink !!

Compared to that a few action figures seem totally normal to me !
