Very Lonely Man Collects Every Super Soaker Ever to Fill Empty Void of His Life

10:40AM Adam Frucci | This dude, for some unholy reason, owns every Super Soaker ever. Every. One. I mean, are these things even valuable?

I have enough to fill up an entire garage, and I’m seriously in debt because of it. But hey, it’s totally worth it, right? Perhaps you’d like to come over and… hey, where are you going? You didn’t finish your Quarter Pounder!” Click for a bigger version of the picture. [Electro^Plankton via Geekologie] More »
