I'm not positive I'll be able to make it.
I at least will make one day, it's only a 3 hour drive for me, so there's no reason why I can't do one day.

Yeah I still don't know for sure if I'll have off.
So have you guys read the Big Lob filecard yet? I tried my best to transcribe the one on youtube and I think I got most of it down correctly. GI Joe Reservist Codename: Big Lob File Name: Sanders, Bradley J. Primary Military Specialty: Infantry/Grenadier Secondary Military Specialty: Special Services Rank: E-4 Big Lob has been a top athlete since elementary school and all through his high school days. He proved to have an uncanny ability to excel at any and all sports. Although he received offers from … several different pro-sports leagues after graduation, he chose to enlist in the Army Reserves to serve his country but also remains close to his hometown and family. Rumors of his outstanding sports prowess and reports of his precise distance grenade throws quickly caught the attention of the GI Joe team. He joined under their “…” program, which allowed him the flexibility to report only for missions requiring his specialized expertise. He is well liked by his teammates except for his annoying habit of talking about himself in the third person and accidentally using sports metaphors even in non-sports ... of conversations. The concept of throwing grenades goes back to the “Greek Fire” used by the Byzantines, and early gunpowder bombs developed by the Chinese during the Tang Dynasty. Thirteen centuries later, more advanced and specialized versions are still an integral part of a modern military’s ordnance. Big Lob is exceptionally skilled at manually throwing hand grenades at specified targets and using his multi-shot grenade launcher for longer distances. He carries a full arsenal of high explosive, …, incendiary, chemical compound and even makes grenades to accomplish any mission objective. “When Big Lob makes his move, he always shoots to score the big win!” Last edited by Tanksmasher; 03-13-2010 at 12:33 AM.. |

I read the one page of the comic that came in the Club magazine...
One page and they already killed the sports talk way... Horrible. Way too many metaphors for one page story. Just dumb. Bad... I know Big Lob is supposed to talk that way, but this was just too much...

I know. They overdid the sports theme and the filecard lacks imagination and any sense of realism. They simply relied on the short cartoon appearance and didn't create anything new. The entire description is spent talking about his awesome athleticism and awesome grenade skills. Is that it? And his personality is that of the overused sports archetype--talks about sports constantly. Simply no imagination here. Plus what's with the little bit on grenade history? The card needs to focus on his personality and unique qualities other than the obvious.

But yeah the detail on filecards has declined, gone to poor generalizations and overboard boasting like they are superheroes or something. :ROFL:
