Ha!

Well, with his build he'd be useless on climbs.

P-R might be the only race in which he’d be helpful.

Noting your attention to detail, I’m wondering about the background… it looks eerily familiar….

I Googled "beaches new south wales"

and found the pic on a free-use site. Never having been there, I’m taking it on faith that it really is a beach in New South Wales…

I'm thinking if I walk up my beach in NSW I'll see him

Seriously, this is my view! Very strange…. but if we see Rico we’ll run him out of town (village) ;)

In Oz they'll never think tan lines are caused by cycling

A little background for those who aren't so familiar with Joe:
Cobra (also called Cobra Command) is the fictional nemesis of the G.I. Joe team in the Hasbro action figure toylines G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero and G.I. Joe: Sigma 6, as well as their related media.

Do you think Joe knows about our gun laws?

They’re really only used for ’roos loose in the top paddock. Even snakes are protected… although a cobra could be deemed feral in this context…

by Seahorse on Nov 16, 2009 10:25 PM EST up reply actions  

Back in the day

Joe wouldn’t have cared about your gun laws. Today, though, he’s probably Peacekeeper Joe and his gun only fires paintballs or tranquilizer darts.

The latter, probably, as I just looked over and see that Ricco has keeled over on the beach. Which is, oddly enough, now being attacked by Daleks. There’s a reason I try to finish the week’s Barbie Barbie before my kid gets home from school.

LOL! Your whimsy is priceless...

Very thoughtful of Joe to use a tranquiliser gun… much less traumatic for BB..

I'm slightly surprised

that they ever produced a bottle-bleached, crop-haired Ken in the first place. Good to see that he has found his proper place in the world.

He was part of the very short-lived attempt at a hip-hop line.

Flavas. Did not go over well. According to one article, they’re the dolls the My Scene dolls buy their weed from.

Just want to agree with everyone here,

this searies is the best ever and this episode is even better than the ones before.

Thanks majope! There isn’t much that could make me smile in Helsinki in November (and after a hard day at work with only two hours of sleep last night), but this has made my day. Truly priceless.

Majope, i know you're always full of new ideas...

but in case you’re searching for another angle, BB’s hometown, Inverell is having problems with bushfires at the moment. (Much bush has been burned, but at this point no lives threatened if that makes a difference) ;)

Hmmm...

as long as it doesn’t turn tragic, topical is good…thanks for the idea!

I think GI Joe was the trigger for me..

his orange is the same as our State Emergency Service volunteers. So far there’s no suggestion of human tragedy at Inverell although there are no doubt roos loose in the top paddock…

A frozen 'cross ride from this last weekend. As you may be aware we have had siberian conditions here in the UK with a low of -14 degrees centigrade here on saturday morning. It was a beautiful sunny morning so i layered up and set off for a snowy 'cross ride along a roman road. I checked the thermometer when i got back to find it had been -10 throughout the ride! I had a lot of fun though and the views were spectacular.
