In Honor of the Upcoming GI JOE Movie

I have very high hopes for the upcoming GI JOE movie. I love GI JOE. My kids aren't allowed to touch it, or know it exists, because my wife says it is a thinly veiled attempt to indoctrinate children into joining the military some day. And being in the military tends to get you killed or maimed. Which we don't want for our kids.

But, you know what. It's pure awesomeness anyway. I fucking love GI JOE. It was a stroke of genius to make them on the same scale as the Star Wars guys. They could play together. I mean, what would Han Solo the space mechanic have been without Clutch the army mechanic at his side throughout the eighties?

And they made awesome pretend basketball players. I think I'll post on that later.

On another note...why is Doc waiting at the bathroom window of these kids' house? What the hell is he doing there?
