In Response To: I want this for Christmas *LINK* (Harv)

Ok Harv, I have to say that is cool but being from Lake Minnetonka the home of Tonka Toys I'm thinking I should take exception to the "Tonka Toy" comment. But because we are all brothers in the same sand box I'll let it pass.
Just a side note, my high school sweet heart's dad was the CFO of Tonka Toys.
A bit of history on Tonka Toys. They use to be called Tonka Machine and Manufacturing, and a company down the street called JR Clark which made house hold products like ladders and ironing boards one day decided to try making toys. They made some and took their display to a toy trade show and it was a flop, so they came home and eventually sold the toy division to Tonka Machine and Manufacturing. The rest is history.

Have a Merry Christmas

Jim
