We roll out the first model in the second quarter and pattern him after the original GI Joe figures from 50 years ago! Pull the string on his back and he vomits! Press the button and he farts! Kids will really go for his realistic chicken grip hands and poseable limbs. In the third quarter we can roll out his creepy comic book sidekicks like Colonel Quartermain, Private Pete, Mad Jack!
We’re going to be rich!ππππ
Holy crap. I thought he had the Gemini space capsule but it was actually the old mercury one… the past was truly on a different planet. Gawd… it was so long ago…
We used to have imagination back in the day. Even the kids.

ReplyDeleteAnd yesterday, SpaceX landed Falcon 9 boosters for the 163rd and 164th time. It's gotten so routine, I have to dig up coverage of the events. Ho hum. Nobody cares.
ReplyDeleteYour GI Joe is cool, but nothing tops my mint condition, NIB, Spongebob Squarepants Barbie Doll ("Barbie LOVES Spongebob Squarepants!")
We sure did. My uncle welded two short water pipes together for me. That was my double barrel. I ate everyone's lunch with that playing cops and robbers. They didn't stand a chance....
ReplyDeleteI drug around part of an old jeep radio from WW2 when we played war. Always calling in arty for the boys... I loved that old thing. I probably still have it out in the shed.
I had a friend who’s dad was like that. After work he’d go out to putter in the garage and his buds would come over for a beer…and they’d make toys for us kids as they chatted and bantered. Once we got zip guns so powerful, they could dump a Cape buffalo at a hundred yards. I still remember getting snapped in the ass by one 52 years later! Gawd that hurt! π
DeleteThe Brandon Action Man comes with Depends and sippy cup featuring a CCP logo.
ReplyDeleteAll that doll will do is fart, burp, blow snot, and sit on the toilet for hours...
ReplyDeleteHe sleeps too! Is there ANYTHING he can’t do!?!?
DeleteThey've got a space capsule on display below decks on the aircraft carrier at Patriot's Point in SC. Looking inside it you can understand why there were never any fat astronauts.
