Proud Mickey
It was 1981, and my family and I had been happily living in our three bedroom townhouse for the best part of a year.

Having moved in, my dad systematically began redecorating every room in the house as it was clear the previous occupants had an odd fixation with beige (maybe it wasn't a fixation, just the 70's).

It finally came the time to do my bedroom. As a young lad, I picked out the perfect wallpaper, it was Action Man performing all sorts of heroic tasks in jeeps, helicopters and motor bikes. Probably worth a bob or two these days.

Having purchased said paper, my Dad and I began the ball-aching task of peeling the old wallpaper off the walls. All was going well until the final wall, when lurking behind the paper was a 6' illustration of everyone's favourite rodent, Mickey Mouse. Mickey had a big grin on his face, and rightly so because he was sporting the largest penis my tiny eyes had ever seen. The artist had clearly put way more effort into the cock and balls than anything else, ensuring they were fully detailed with bulging veins, neatly trimmed pubic hair and wrinkles.

My mum and dad laughed, I was just a little bit frightened. They called it a day, and left me to go to bed with Mickey's enormous member mere inches from my face.

We papered over Mickey the next day, but to my knowledge he's still there, terrifying unsuspecting 6 year-olds.

I want to click
*I like this!* but that would mena I like the idea of young children seeing Mickey Mouse's, apparently, giant, veiny, penis. Which I don't. But, you know, consider yourself sort of clicked but not actually so. Also, He-Man wall paper would've kicked Action Man wall paper's arse.

had Spitfire and Hurricane curtains instead!

Also good wallpaper, I approve
but, again, He-Man would've just zapped 'em with the Sword of Eternia. Damn, my stupid house has only got rubbish 'Vaguely vine-like' wall paper (painted cream). I want to do it up with He-Man/Spitfire/Action Man wall paper now. Maybe Star Wars too. That'd be an awesome gift to the 6 year old me. Might just bring it up with the missus see if she goes for it.
