Still Waters Posted October 9, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 9, 2012 An avid Cabbage Patch Kids fan has dedicated three rooms of his flat to his collection of more than 600 dolls that he says are his children. Bachelor Dan Knowlton, 41, has spent thousands of pounds buying the soft cloth dolls and has even visited their 'birthplace', where he adopted his favourite doll after Mother Cabbage went into 'labour'. He spends several hours a week caring for the cuddly toys - changing their outfits and dusting the beds, chairs and shelves where they sit. http://www.dailymail...assing-80s.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldethyl Posted October 9, 2012 #5 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I too am surprised he's a bachelor. Well I suppose he doesn't want to loose custody or have to pay child support. Weirdo. My sister collects those dolls too. Weirdo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfknight Posted October 9, 2012 #9 Share Posted October 9, 2012 WTF is wrong with this guy. Nothing spells gay like 601 cabbage dolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplos Posted October 9, 2012 #10 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Obviously the man has some sort of eccentric abnormality probably coupled with some hording tendencies. So what? He's certainly not hurting anyone with his collection or habits. He even manages an online community for collectors, so he's not an idiot, and he probably makes money from that as well. I don't see the problem here. To each his own. Edited October 9, 2012 by Purplos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted October 9, 2012 #11 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Hmm...The guy works for a living, and is so passionate about something in his life that gives him joy, he is willing to spend his own time, money, and effort on it.... Not breaking any laws, not causing others grieve... More power to him. Yep, it's odd, but such is the spice of life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xYlvax Posted October 9, 2012 #12 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I wouldn't want one of those creepy things, not to mention over 600. Got to wonder if he's okay in the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted October 9, 2012 #13 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I'm a big believer to each to his own but I wouldn't want those dolls laying around my house giving me dirty looks. Will they burn? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+OverSword Posted October 10, 2012 #16 Share Posted October 10, 2012 It could be a paternal thing. Take a close look, he resembles a cabbage patch doll. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
