Original 1984

It's a tad surprising he's survived all this time. While I had him, i

  • Went through a term of active duty in the army
  • went through college
  • lived oversees for a few years
  • lived in 4 different states, and twice as many apartments and houses

He's one of the few possessions I've managed to keep ahold of despite a fairly nomadic life, but now he's pampered.

Anyway, with the recent cartoon about merch, I'm wondering what other people have. I never got a t-shirt, and it wouldn't have survived until today if I had.

  • I have a Bill The Cat. I picked him up a year or so ago after wanting one since forever.

    In storage I also have an Opus plush, mine is smaller and has a graduation cap. I have had the Opus since a bit before my high school graduation in 95. He has survived two fires, lived in 4 states, who knows how many apartments, and houses.

    When I was in middle school we did a clay project in art class. I did an Opus as Spock sculpture. The head (primarily the nose) was really heavy and the teacher dropped it while putting it into the kiln, so he has a dent on his helmet. Also due to the weight of the nose a crack started to form while it was drying. I am unsure if it actually still exists, it is likely the kind of thing my mother would have thrown away when I moved out.
