JoeDios.com Forums - View Single Post - As a kid.. you and your joes

Hilarious thread so far! Although lots of jokes arose in my mind after reading Outrider's post, I selectively refrain from joking about age.

(I'm in the General Scarlett age range, so I was in HS also in 1986.) I think in Summer of 1985 or 86 I babysat some boys who had Joes and we had a great time playing and the parents paid me. That was pretty cool. (The parents liked me since I played with the kids and didn't just flop them in front of the TV...)

Probably the only time I'll ever be paid for playing with Joes, unless Hasbro needs consulting...
