Yo Joe

Hondo,
I found your Joe site OK. Basically, it had a good narrative. However, when professionals need information on GI Joe stuff, there is only one source Propadeutic.

Want information on Joe by year? Got it. Vehicles? Got it. Comic book characters by order of appearance by year? Got it. How about body types on figures and where they originally came from? That too. Or perhaps you'd like to know Propadeutic's statement on faith. Of course you do. You can find that too, just go to the main page.

What's in a Name?

The short version of this story is that I was rapping with JZ and I wanted to know what “codename” he would give his missus for our next group event. Lets just say I found some cheap coveralls and they needed some embellishment. Anyway he said that the first thing that came to his mind was The Baroness. NICE! That armored bustier, that big gun and those naughty librarian glasses. A fine choice sir! That works out for me just fine as I Ive been known to call my girl Lady Jaye for obvious reasons and lets face it Flint is one cool mutha fucker. Im just saying… So that would make JZ, Destro and then Mike would mostly likely become part of a Duke and Scarlet combo even though I cant say for sure if they were ever romantically involved, at least not on the show. That is to say if you were going for a theme.

Now as to why the Baroness is a 360 achievement hater I still don’t know. We had that conversation the last time we were all together and I don’t know if I ever really recovered. After that I tried not to care about the achievements, hell some games like Call of Juarez make it easy not to care as their achievements are so arbitrary that you may never get them, and I’m ok with that. But I took a look today and I noticed that I’m now over the 10,000 mark which I couldn’t help but feel pretty good about.
Hummm should I wear it like a badge of honor or a testament to my poor time management. I don’t know…



Addendum:

After much review I have decided that if one really looked at it, JZ is no Destro. Not the Baroness isn’t hot because she is but the fact is Destro was always depicted as being a little soft on the show ( I never read the comic so maybe he was portrayed differently there). Besides… what the fuck is his mask made of, metal, rubber? It’s awful shiny like metal but when he talks his lips move! It’s crazy… but more than that when looking at the Joes I thought that a few of them bore more than a slight resemblance to JZ. Please observe below: If you ask me JZ looks more like Torch, Monkey Wrench, and maybe Shipwreck. Incidentally I think that Shipwreck is the only Latino Joe and here I always thought he was from Boston.
