Found on eBay: The Licker

My older brother and I are in a ongoing competition with one another. This competition has been sometimes friendly, and at times argumentative – all in good fun mind you – about who is the biggest nerd. The crown of shame as I call it has passed forth between us on numerous occasions, especially when birthdays roll around. Why birthdays you ask? Because we tend to get each other the same sort of thing every year, and the present determines who is the biggest nerd. Usually the present in question focus on D&D, Star Trek, Star Wars, The X-Files and comic books, but one of the most prevalent gifts we buy each other is Resident Evil memorabilia.

During the glorious month of April, my brother will be getting the ultimate Resident Evil present, thus the nerd crown will be mailed back to me and I shall wear it with pride until he decides to outdo me in September. For you see, while perusing eBay last night for the perfect gift for my wonderful brother, I found a Halloween mask of “The Licker” from the Resident Evil series. This trumps any action figure, poster, pillow, chewing gum or the time he sent me a picture of him harassing Gillian Anderson (damn him anyway!).

I was tempted not to post this “buy it now” item on here lest one of you snatch it out from under me, but after serious consideration I just had to share it with you because it is just too darn cool.
