( I don't know if that's a good thing ) Why not get some attention for the hard working and dedicated members of the GI Joe collecting community. __________________ Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!.

My daughter accompanies me most of the time, and with her I don't get funny looks walking up to the register with an armful of toys. I'm used to the odd looks though - even without my daughter, I'll walk up with two Nerf guns, some Joes and a couple of Hot Wheels cars, and pay the lady with a totally straight face. People won't say anything though - with my facial hair, shaved head, beer gut and predominantly dark wardrobe, I'm a little intimidating and people assume I'm a biker or something. __________________ HobbyStop.webs.com “We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw
