Best toy for boys, ever?

Damn! Ya gotta love Green Army Men.  How cool are they!?  How many have I bought in my life time?  I couldn’t tell ya. If I was forced to do the math, I could only estimate.  If you buy them in individual packs you get maybe a dozen.  Large pack, 20 and a jeep.  So....hrmm....(pencil scratch sounds) ...carry the 2..hrmmm...over 1000.  Countless Green Army Men were lost to the sands of time.  Sand box of time, I should say.  I melted several, firecrackered some and shot several into space.  (bottle rockets rule) And you still come back to them.  Unchanged all these years.  My fondest memories of G.A.M come from summer vacations as a little kid.  We would go to Fremont River in Wayne County.  Utah, for you folks on the www.  We had lots of family down there and spent summers fishing and visiting Aunt Hazel and Uncle Pratt.  When we needed supplies we would drive into Loa to a small Mercantile.  Mom would allow me and my sister to get one toy from the Dollar toy rack.  A one dollar pack of Green Army Men always satisfied.  If your ever camping along the banks of that river and find one buried in the dirt, please return it to me care of this station.
