I gotta find that Sea 3-pack so I can get the decent version of the only Joe from my home town of Baltimore, Deep Six. And the only one from the state of MD. Doesn't much bother me, though; I think it's neat that they picked different real places and tried to humanize and characterize all these action figures. The verisimilitude it lends to the line is pretty astonishing for kid's toys.

I went to visit friends at St. Anselm's College in Manchester. I went on two different occasions. Nice place. Pretty Campus; a bit small, but nice. I flew into Boston and visited some friends there at Harvard and BC, and then we drove up to Manchester. Great scenery. I really enjoyed it.

Are you in Delaware? Do you know which Joe is from Delaware? Also, what do you have against Trotsky? Just curious.

There used to be a good list online, but it's just a bit dated. Nice work, though. Part of the G.I. Joe Encyclopedia.

Mercer is given two different birthplaces:
Spencer, West Virgina - v1 Richmond, Virginia - v2 Either state could claim him, I suppose The other Joe from West Virginia is v2 Sidetrack. The second one who is Ranger qualified, and looks more like Duke rather than Ambush.

Personally, I sort of think it's a sham that Maryland has 1 Joe, while Virgina has about 5. The Naval Academy is in Maryland! Ft. Meade and the Aberdeen Proving Grounds are in Maryland. Do you know how many Joes are from Washington DC?
Are you in Delaware? Do you know which Joe is from Delaware? Also, what do you have against Trotsky? Just curious. There are a bunch of Joes from Northern VA...I lived there the past two years (grad school) and I don't envy them. According to this list Complete Guide to G.Â*I.Â*Joe: Joe Geography which seems pretty current, there are no Joes from Delaware. This list does say Storm Shadow is from Missouri (some dumb filecard said that...in the comic, he said he was from Fresno CA, so I'm going with that, thanks) but is otherwise decent. As for Trotsky...there was some whiny thread, I don't remember what, I think people bitching "death of teh line!" or "OMG movie suxxors!!" and I probably said I thought it was a whiny thread, so somebody compared me to Stalin and said I was trying to tell them what to think. As I tell my students, never what, only how. So I figured I'd just run with the Stalin reference a little. You're the first person to ever comment.

I think Hama must have just closed his eyes and pointed at a location, because there was nothing in Collierville back in '87. As a kid in '87 I don't think I had even heard of Collierville. lol And Med-Alert is from Nashville. Statistically, there are usually more Southerners in the military. I don't know how that applies to the Special Forces. You would think with more Southerners in the military, that would naturally mean more in Special Forces, but that may not be the case. Either way, we need more Southerners on the team, and they don't need to be stereotypes like Cross-Country.
