Yep, I almost meet Marlon Wayne today. For those of you that don't know (all of you) I work for Best Buy and I'm part of the Geek Squad Home Theater Installations. I had a job for a customer this afternoon, mounting a tv on the wall. The tv was going in the kids bedroom. The first thing I noticed were some Joe figures laying around and then I see the promo pic of Marlon Wayne as Ripcord in a picture frame. Long story short, turns out I was at his house. I played dumb and ask his girlfriend if the kids were G.I. Joe fans from the figures I saw laying around and she told me that their dad is in the upcoming movie. Of course he wasn't home, but he was on the phone with the kids when we were done mounting the tv. Nice house, pics of him and his family throughout the house. I've done jobs for a few celeberties but today I almost meet an actual G.I. Joe. And I even got a tip.

Well aside from the obvious "RIPCORD IS FICTIONAL" argument, why isn't he Ripcord?
