Go Joe! (I've Got a Tough Assignment For You)

On last Thursday's show I mentioned the big G.I. Joe convention that is going on in Arlington this weekend. I reminisced a little about all the fun I had playing with G.I. Joe as a kid. J.R. gave me a ration of grief for "playing with dolls."  Oh yeah, he's one of those guys.

I've found in my experience that the he-man macho types who were afraid to play with certain toys or wear certain "feminine" colors are the ones most likely to end up getting their mugshots snapped dressed as Carmen Miranda.   I played with all sorts of action figures-- superheroes, army guys, Star Trek figures, robots and cowboys, and as far as I can tell none of my many quirks and peccadilloes can be traced back to them.
