CO-WORKER ACTION FIGURES~!

When I worked in a Weld-Shop up North
it was for a small Mom & Pop business that
had a colorful cast of characters. So, One
Christmas, I bought a bunch of El Cheapo
imitation G.I. Joes and Barbie Dolls, then
altered their faces, made special outfits
appropriate to their personality/job-
description, and put them in rebooted
boxes that had pictures of all the
action figures with a 'Collect Them
All' heading. They are as follows:

WARREN, THE BOSS

ELLA, THE BOSS' CRAZY WIFE

JEFF, CHIEF WELDER

FRANK, MASTER MECHANIC

KIM, THE GLUE WHO HOLDS
US ALL TOGETHER & EVEN
GETS COFFEE FOR US~!


Oddly, I did not make a doll depicting
myself. I ran out of time before our
X-mas dinner, where we exchanged
gifts in a local tavern/restaurant.
