Holy–talk about your childhood-- crap!

I just found this [G.I.Joe Collectibles Website](http://www.yojoe.com/) that brought back some serious memories!

Man, I was of the 1982 - 1988 crowd. Back when Sgt. Slaughter and his “Triple-T” tank kicked Cobra ass! Hell, I was the first kid on the block to figure out that the Water Moccasin worked down a snowy hill even better than it did in the water (yeah, the fucker sank like a rock! :mad: ).

And just who the hell can forget [The Fridge](http://www.yojoe.com/action/86/fridge.shtml). Damn, now the Super Bowl shuffle is blaring through my head. . .

Sorry. Yeah I’m excited. I was lookin’ through the site saying to myself, “_I had that!_”. “_Holy shit, I had that too!_”.

Ah, take it where you will. For me, it’s a militaristic tour down memory lane. I figured some of y’all want to know about it. 😃

Because knowing is half the battle.

Great GI Joe Fan Art.

If you aren’t at work, consider hunting for the “GI Joe In Private” page. Not a work-safe thing, but the main page above is cool.
