Just got back from my first day of 8th grade. I was soo scared and nervous I brought my 25th Destro for ''support''. I had him in my pocket the whole day. Having a GI Joe in your pocket makes the world soo much easier! jk

school is where i got hooked on the joe figures. a friend of mine brought all of his and we played with them all day. i dont remember what grade i was in, but it was a great time.

I remember the 8th grade...i just got glasses (i now wear contacts), grew 3 more inches (after 6 the previous year), and started to realize that my calling was to scientific research. Also bought some of my last joes that year.

Is for constructive criticism (will even settle for destructive) just anything but "Nice shot" or "Awesome".

Unfortunately now adays if you get cought with something like a military action figure in your pocket, the school goes into lock down, parents are called, you have to go through psycological evaluations, teachers fear for their lives and the lives of their students, you get expelled from school and are classified as a threat to national security.

Having Destro in your pocket is an even bigger threat as he represents a terrorist organization, then you get put on "no fly" lists and your nationality, loyalties and faith are brought into question, you'll never be able to get any kind of job with the government and your house and extended family will be under constant survelliance by Homeland Security.

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.

Scary thing is.....This isn't far from the truth.

"It was long ago, and it was far away, and it was so much better than it is today."

I used to keep a Mr. Spock action figure with me, especially during test days. I'd set him up on the desk and anytime I had a problem, Spock would remind me that through logic I could figure it out. Of course I didn't always get the answer right but it was poetic nonetheless. Unfortunately is was also "girl repellent" and it was something I was never able to bounce back from until high school...
