Everything You Need To Live Your Own '80s Adventure Movie
Have you ever felt like running away from home to live in the forest, just you and the trees, away from the pressures of society?
Sometimes, I guess.
It's an understandable impulse. Fallout 5 is years from being released. Your roommates are always "forgetting" their wallets when you go out for brunch. There's never been a better time to just run away and live amongst woodland creatures.
Every time! They make me pay every time!
We know. It's very unfair.
Hmm. Tell me more about this running away thing.
It's great! No one tweets hate-mongering things at you and you get to poop wherever you want. That's why the Cracked Dispensary and the Cracked Store are teaming up to provide you with everything you need to sneak off into the night and start anew.
You're going to need to dress warm if you're looking to make it on your own, so remember to pack this long sleeve Street Fighter / Say Anything shirt. We'll be upfront with you, living alone can be painful at times. Leaving your loved ones behind will be like taking a Hadoken to your feelings. So stay strong, wear this shirt, and don't be ashamed if you cry a little while listening to "In Your Eyes" as you drive away.
Who can forget that time in 1982 when E.T. left home only to confront Earth's greatest warrior? (That is what happened right? It's been awhile since we've seen that movie, or the sequel E.T. 2 : Game of Death.) E.T. is synonymous with living away from home, so wear this t-shirt in his honor. And never overlook the fact that, while leaving home is difficult, it can't be any tougher than getting kicked in your scrawny little moon-throat.
The movie might have been named Ferris Bueller's Day Off, but anyone paying attention knows the real hero was Cameron Frye. Who else but Cameron could leave home on a whim, sick as all hell, just to support his buddy? Take this travel pillow on your own adventure and if you happen across a water tower, paint the name Cameron Frye on it. God knows he deserves it.
OK, I'm packing now. What else will I need?
