I honestly have never even thought about Chewbacca's wang until today. It's weird how much this ties into the LGBTQ+ in GI Joe topic for me. I mean, I have some sort of disconnect in my head when it comes to kid's toys/properties I experienced as a child where "adult" stuff just doesn't apply. Like, I still look at all this stuff through a child's eyes. I don't worry about--or even really think about--"realism", or "modernizing" GI Joe or soap opera love triangles in The Pit. In my Joe-world it's perpetually 1980-something and America still uses flamethrower troopers. I think that's also why scalping and hoarding and the modern realities of toy buying pisses me off. Apparently, to me, the toy shopping experience should still be how it was when I was a kid, when toys were plentiful and the only adults you found in toy aisles were there with a child or a list, and often were confused, annoyed and just wanting to get the fuck outta there.

Itch they were gone quickly back in the day. I remember I couldn't score all the Star Wars figure I wanted before they left stores so I started getting Joes to continue collecting action figures because they were compatible with Star Wars. A couple friends had some Joe things so I was familiar to an extent. So that's the long story of how Trooper got into GI Joe.

Although I've never thought of Chewbacca's penis, I have thought about the porn industry in Star Wars. I'd imagine it would be something Jabba the Hutt would be heavily involved in. Sort of a galactic Larry Flynt.

Jabba would for sure have a strip club in East St. Louis.

Rough Monday morning you all. A lot of jackasses calling me today. If you book a package at a resort, not knowing what is actually in your package.... Then have your stay, and leave, and never bother to pick up your bill or checkout at the desk.....Then decide weeks after departure that you want to call up and question prices and your package....Well, you get no sympathy from me. The time to question prices is before your resort stay, not weeks after you left the property.
Sigh.....Mondays....

A little advice from your friendly LNC auditor. Do NOT use a debit card (a card linked to your checking account), at a large resort or large Hotel. Large/fancy Hotels/Resorts (and even some restaurants and gas stations), will place large holds/authorizations on your card. These holds may show up in addition to the actual charges. If you use a credit card, this is no problem, simply a waiting game. However, if you use a debit card, it can/will tie up huge amounts of your money that you may not have access to it for days or weeks. In many cases, it's not even the Hotel/Resorts fault. There is a 1-5 business day lag (or more) between the time a hold is released to the time where it clears on the banking side.
I always assumed this is common knowledge in this day and age, but apparently not. So now you know....
