My boss was a GI Joe collector when he was a kid. We have really connected because of this fact, and he has a good enough knowledge of GI Joe to keep up when I talk about collecting. He told me about his collection, and about how a tornado took most of it out at his parents house. A few weeks ago, out of the blue, he offered me the remains of his Joe collection. I said, "Sure, whatever you've got would be awesome!" Today, he brought it. It is: A Skystriker (missing the springs, landing gears and chutes. All other parts, including the landing gear tabs, unbroken, are there.), A vintage Rattler (missing only 1 missle), a Bridge Layer (Broken bridge connector, but otherwise perfect), a HISS (broken cannon, but I can fix it), a Night Raven (Needs alot of TLC, but all the hard to find parts are there) and a Warthog (missing an engine cover). This is the most awesome thing a boss, of all people, has ever done for me. What an awesome day!

For anyone to give you that haul is cool, but from a boss? That's incredible.
You're living the good life. |
