[This](http://206.251.175.10/articles.php?a=2463) ain’t caanon, but it is hilarious. I loved Cobra Commander reciting the list of weapons he has used. ---

Cobra Commander: “Cobraaaaa! Retreat!” Serpentor: “This I command!” Storm Shadow (to Spirit): “When next we meet, we are enemies.” Snake Eyes: “…” ---

OH MY BONY GOD. I was going to start a thread exactly like this today… but then I decided… “Nah… I doubt it will get that many responses.” My favorite exchange on the show… Flint, Gung-Ho and Scarlet have crashed on a cobra island (not THE Cobra Island from the comics). They are cutting their way through the jungle looking for the cobra base. Flint hacks away some vines and they see the mamoth castle in the distance. Scarlet: Ain’t that the luck of the irish. Flint: Yeah, but I’m not irish. Gung-ho: And that castle is definitely not kosher. WTF! That’s just weird and funny. Duke: Didn’t you read my green sheet? ‘Man of action’. Serpentor: No! Toss him in with the Joes so they can see their fate. Golobulus: A tad melodramatic don’t you think. ---

I just picked up a copy of [The Ultimate Guide to G.I. Joe 1982-1994](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0873416694/qid=1130957762/sr=8-11/ref=pd_bbs_11/104-1715022-0945515?v=glance&s=books&n=507846). 250 or so pages of 3-3/4" figure, vehicles and playsets in full color. Amazing. Thus, I feel like starting a G. I. Joe appreciation thread. However, why start a thread when I can hijack a thread other fans have probably already subscribed to? Don’t complain, or I will hit you with a spike-covered football, which I have combined with a flail. ---
