It's Him Orc Me

By VICTORIA ALLEN

A HUBBY told last night how his wife forced him to choose between her
and a 6ft-tall green MONSTER.

Robert Cushnie, 42, had happily shared his home with a giant model of
an Orc - a creepy character from a computer game - for six years.

But his Canadian spouse Dee, 42, warned that if he didn't ditch the
gruesome creature, she'd move back to her homeland without him.

So now distraught Robert, of Aberdeen, has been forced to have his
giant toy ADOPTED.

Last night the telecommunications manager explained "It came down to
the wife or the Orc.

"She said there wasn't any room for him in our life. I've had him for
six years but Dee means more to me, so he had to go."

Orcs are bloodthirsty warriors from the fantasy computer game World of
Warcraft.

And Robert was thrilled when he landed his life-sized metal and
plastic figure from a Falkirk toy shop that shut down.

But he and Dee, who married last February, will move to Canada later
this month - without the Orc.

Dee said: "I just don't like it. I'm only 5ft 3in, so it towers over
me, which is quite creepy."

The Orc has found a new home in Aberdeen with Michael Thomson, 61, and
wife Patricia, 55.

And their granddaughter Kimberlea Logie, 16, is already a fan.

Last night Patricia said: "We wanted him because he's so unusual. Our
grandkids love him."

Robert said: "I'll miss him - but I'm glad he's gone to a good home."

There must be more to this, after all she put up with the Orc for 6
years.

Obviously Bob was not successful in getting his wife to play WoW with
him.
My wife would dig it.

To choose a wife? Over such a cool Orc? It saddens me to learn that there
are such people. I wonder how soon he's gonna regret the choice he's made.

And it's not just any Orc, it's Thrall, at least the version from
Warcraft 3.
