    Toys of the past century?

    I'm pretty sure the ball dominates all.
    :lol: I'm pretty sure the ball was invented a bit earlier than the 20th century. :lol:

    It didn't say invented in the last century...name one person who owned a GI Joe in 1912

    I personally went nuts for He-Man toys as well. That Castle Grey Skull was amazing.

    Not all G.I Joes are alike. This is a true story:

    There is a G.I. Joe who once was named Joe who once lived with some boys up in the State of Washington. One day a young woman who was close to me was helping those boys clean up around their place and she came across Joe. Joe was naked because the boys had lost his uniform and accoutrements.

    Although I wasn't in the room at the time, this is what, to the best of my recollection, is what transpired:

    The woman picked up Joe, looked at him and said, "Oh, my, you have no genitalia!"

    "I know", Joe replied. "This is something many people do not realize about us plastic warriors. Never-the-less, I'm very embarrassed to be seen naked "

    "Well, perhaps I can find your uniform but in the meantime I have a robe from another doll you can borrow."

    "That would be most excellent, Ma'am".

    The woman pulled the robe over Joe's head and put his arms in the sleeves and said, "Well there, at least you're decent now."

    Suddenly Joe's eyes widened and his mouth hung open for a moment and in a very soft voice he said: "From now on my name is Max Lightening. I used to be a warrior but now... but now I'm NOT a warrior. I'm a man of peace." The scar on Max's right cheek, I'm told, became slightly more red but otherwise his face became very serene.

    Max traveled with the woman and me for a few years after that until one day she and Max went there separate ways. I visited the two of them a while back and Max had changed very little. The scar on his face was still red but if anything, his appearance was even more calm and serene than I had remembered. Max only speaks to this one particular woman but I am told he has continued to devote his life to peace. He sincerely believes peace is possible.

    Like I said, not all G.I. Joes are alike.
