Absolutley OT: Growing Up

Post by Footslogger »

I can remember watching GI Joe Cartoons when I was growing up.

What did you grow up with? I hope no one says Playboys.[;)]

I got one of these for Christmas when I was like 6. You threw it up in the air like a javelin and a parachute deployed, bringing it down; like that ever happened in the cartoon. [:(]

correction: It wasn't a cartoon, it was a puppet show.

Yes, the first season wasn't too bad. The rest was awful but what else were you going to watch?

Would anyone care to discuss the aerodynamics involved in the design of her habit? Could she deliver a 250kg bomb? How about her flight characteristics?

They saved a fortune on props and costumes. Heck, they used the same actor. Genius.

But if you're going to bring up Johnny Quest, I'll just have to trump you with Space Ghost. I still want that wrist thing with the buttons on it!

You could press a button on this thing on your left forearm, then point your right fist at something and blow the bejeezus out of it. How cool is that?
