To be honest I wasn't even sure they were still around in their original state. So good to hear! Five is a magical age. Thanks Bunchy!

I just wanted to share: My five year old has hundreds of those little green army men, and they are pretty much the only thing he plays with these days. He sets up intricate wars and battles, shoots them down with rubber bands or rocks, and spends hours on his own in his room pretending. He's got such an imagination. I wish this age could last forever.

This is an awesome entry, even if you did best me in the contest with it. I, too, grew up being wowed by Stephen King and I can remember many a night when I talked myself out of some fear or another that I'd picked up after closing the pages of one of his books for the night. My all time SK favorite is The Stand, and the one that scared me the most (even after re-reading it last year when I was 30) was IT. When it would rain when I was a kid, we used to go out "worming," looking for all the worms that came out from their holes when they flooded. I used to wonder if the rains killed so many worms, how were there any left to keep worms from going extinct? Isn't it funny the way our little curious brains work when we're kids? Anyway, great entry, and congrats on your win. Enjoy the Wii.
