Props to my wife, she calls me from Target, Walmart, and Meijers with a Joe report. Last week she brought home a Firefly, she's a great mother and a wonderful wife.

My wife swears that I misled her about my Joe habit when we got together. I told her I was a collecter and had a fair few figures and accessories, and when she asked how many I said quite honeslty I didn't know for sure but there was a lot of them. But if you were to ask her now she would say in all seriousness that I told her that I didn't have that many.
She's tollerant of my collecting and ocassionally if I point something out to her she'll pick up something for me but she's not the type to be out shopping and just happen down the toy section and say to herself. "hmmm... they have G.I. Joes here. Maybe I should get him one or two..." Never gonna happen. Especially since she almost always has our kids with her and she avoids the Toy section just to avoid the inevetalbe "Gimme Game" and the tantrum that would surely follow. 'Sigh'

I hide them like I'm smuggleling drugs into house. It's kinda sad that it has come to this. And when she sees them in my work bench area, " Where'd you get this from" or " looks like you got more Joes". I just tell her theyre my old ones from the 80's and that she's oppressing me.

You should ride on it! like a pony!
