I remember playing with GI Joes well beyond the year that most of the boys in my class had given up on them (yes, i still played with 'em in fifth grade).
One of my friends, this guy named David Lambert, used to call them "Joes," which was almost a euphimism to keep everyone from knowing exactly what he was playing with.
Well, we went over the river (the Atchafayala River) and through the woods (along I-10, with many blown over from Katrina and Rita), but we finally made it to grandma's house for Christmas!
Whoo-hoo!
