Real American Huh?

Did you know that G.I. Joe has put out several real people as Joes?

Wikipedia has a complete list, but I like the idea of a Buzz Aldrin, Robert Crippen or Bob Hope with life like kung fu grip.

I was a little surprised that they mix the list with people who fake their heroism though – people like movie alien puncher Rowdy Roddy Piper, ’80s wrestler Sergeant Slaughter, and dramatic actor Colin Powell.

I wonder if Powell was considered because of his Emmy award winning presentation at the U.N. or his sleeper hit, the My Lai 4 cover up.

Fake Colin Powell

Eritrea, Eritrea, Eritrea, Eritrea, we love you, Amen.

Eritrea

Eritrea, officially the State of Eritrea, is a country in the Horn of Africa. It is bordered by Sudan in the west, Ethiopia in the south, and Djibouti in the southeast. – wikipedia

Fine, but so what?

Well – Eritrea’s TLD, (.ca to us Canadians or .jp for Japan, etc,) is .er! I can’t find anywhere to register a Eritrea domain, but this seems like a huge opportunity for their country.

Who wouldn’t want lam.er, runn.er, fast.er, etc?

A Dubyah Mystery solved!

This is a screen cap from an episode of the ’60s Spiderman cartoon that floated up at me from the TV aether of darkest night, while I was tending a sick child.

I’m not sure if there was a time when the “Texas pronunciation” was more common, or if this is actually an indicator of a horrible ultra-power that lies above and beyond fission/fusion.

The episode, Specialists and Slaves, can be found on the youtube:
