This is honest, and a few people who knew the story thought I should post it for your amusement.
First there are a 2 things you should know
1. I am fairly new to joes, I watched the cartoon as a kid but I started hunting toys towards the end of 2007. (this is just kind of backing up point number 2)
2. I had no idea whatsoever what a "Hiss Tank" was untill I joined this site.
Well as some of you know, I am a personal assistant. As part of my job I sort through my boss's email and as all of you know when you join HissTank you receive a welcome email. I saw the welcome email in his inbox, filed it away to personal and was a bit disturbed.
A few days laters he says to me to "join this great gijoe site" So I pull up my internet explorer and he gives me the URL and I bust out laughing.
Well when I saw the welcome email from HissTank I (not knowing yet what a Hiss Tank was) misinterpreted the name. I read it not as "HissTank" but I read it as "HisStank" and I was under the impression that he had subscribed to a very, very odd porn site by the name of "His Stank"
I explained this to him and he busted out laughing and said something along the lines of "why didn't you ask me about it" and I said "Hey if your into weird porn, thats your thing!"
So yes ladies and gentlemen, I originally thought HissTank was a very wierd porn site. Called HisStank.
Hope you all got a laugh.

well I'm glad you joined up. You have organized the hell out of FL's collecting ring. Your info impresses me to no end. I know when to hunt here by when you post to hunt there!
Funny story. I used to surf at Hisstank at work until I think our systems people found that I spent so much time there for non-work related stuff that they blocked me from going to the site.

Same here, man. I thought that by becoming staff, we would see the "good stuff" behind closed doors. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. A piece of me dies every day.
so which member is your boss then?
Yeah, Chari, who is your boss? :)

I e-mailed the Seller to see if there are any other Bolo's out there long lost relatiives...
maybe a Hispanic brother. "Cholo?/LowLow?"
Maybe a a African American Version? "Bro-lo"
A loner Rebel.... "Solo?"
The Long Lost brother... From Italy.. "Polo"?
I wonder how if any members of Bolo's Family were made into figures and if they exist?

BO-LO! BO-LO! BO-LO! BO-LO!
Bolo for president is me, because, I mean really... the greatest ninja for president and a Tony Stark designed Spider-Man suit for VP? Psh. Who needs anyone else?
I came to HissTank from a link somewhere, I think it was either RebelScum (which could also be misinterpreted as a pr0n site...) or TheFwoosh. This place seems a lot more... close than RebelScum, and looser than TheFwoosh. But those two sites are for two different collecting fandoms, so!

HAHAHAHAAHAHA, WORD!
Chuck Norris & God had a Baby, sprinkled it with some Bruce Lee..and that is the POWER OF BOLO. Bolo has no family. We revolve around him, not the other way around.
lol amber did u really buy bolo? i saw "animebratt" bought him lol
Dude, when she was like "I won him"...we knew we had found the official hisstank mascot. I mean, c'mon now, it's friggin' Bolo. Just remember not to look him in the eye, AB.
well regardless of how you got here I'm glad you are here.
I'm glad he's here too. Group Hug!
your information helps out eveyboyd here.
Yes, all the Boyd's here are in constant need of help. Thanks for looking out for them. I'm sure they appreciate it.

So it's not a weird porn site?
So I'm playing with my Joes all wrong?
I jest! I jest!
That is a very entertaining story, CharI. As well as very funny. lol
And this whole BOLO thing must be an inside joke I'm not hip with, because I have no idea who or what BOLO is.
