Something pretty cool happened today. As some of you know I just recently moved and now that we're in a big house again I finally have a loft area all to my own to display my toys. Well today we had some guy from this handyman service come out to fix some of our closet doors and when he walked upstairs he glanced at my Joes and then went on into the rooms to fix the closets.
When he walked out my girl and I were sitting on the couch in the loft and told him thanks for coming out...as he was walking past he glanced again and then said "That's a hell of a GI Joe collection" I told him thanks man I appreciate that and then he just kept staring at them...and gave me this look and said "do you mind if I...." I laughed and was like "By all means have at it" It was cool because he got up all close and was like aaah man I had that guy and that Fang and those Jeeps. Then he saw Zartan and was like "Dude do you remember when he use to change colors?" Then we started talking the old Sunbow series and toys and I said yeah I have the complete box set of the Sunbow series...so I put it on and he actually sat there and watched two episodes and bs'd about the glory days of the 80's and GI Joe. My girl was like "OMG, this is ridiculous...you guys are like a secret society of people who make up the universe" She said "You're handymen, IT workers, vendors, mechanics, graphic designers..etc" She goes it's crazy that so many people that affect our every day lives are f*ckin GI Joe fans!
