HA! I know what you mean. Once in grad school, a fellow student was eating lunch and he had a retro G.I. Joe lunch box... it was pretty cool. Made of metal, with the picture of the 85 Joes raising their fists in the air. I'm sure we all remember. Anyway, I asked him about it and he laughed. He said, "You know what's sad? I still remember all of their code names." I just laughed and said, "I can do better than that." Then I picked up his lunch box and told him the file name and birth place of every Joe in the picture. He sat there with his mouth hanging open. We were good friends from that day forward.
