New Article: Cobra’s Chia Plot: Part I!

I had a movie review planned as the next article, but after putting it together and writing the intro, I found myself in the strange position of not really wanting to write a movie review. So, on the burner it went, and with the days adding up since our last article, I furiously searched for a new topic. After considerable debate, here's what I came up with. Storm Shadow and the Cobra troops growing a Chia Pet to fight G.I. Joe with. That's the story, absolutely true. Enjoy.

Oh my god, do I win!?

Yep, I do. And I love Chia pets.

Good job Gabby, you get a gold star…and a scratch n’sniff sticker of your choice.

which will be sent in two weeks at the exciting chia packed conclusion when we find out if growing the chia is indeed half the battle.

Matt how have you been doing during the cold spell on the north east? I’m hoping you will come up with some creative things while being indoors.

I live in NY too, on the island, and it’s snowing right now, and is frigid. About 16 degrees.

It looks as though Matt finally figured out how to use photoshop or paint shop pro correctly? No more jagged edges on the titles of articles? Sweetness.

Those Joes are fucking cool. I haven’t seen shadowstorm anywhere, where’d you get them?

Storm Shadow: Man. The last time I heard a speech like that, a big shark ate Samuel L. Jackson

See what happens when you leave the door unlocked? Gabby gets in!
I used to have a chia pet. I think it is still around somewhere. I also think that it was a hippopotamus because I like those fat ass things. It grew green sprouts and I loved it then it died because I didn’t love it enough to keep it watered.
If you think 16 degrees is cold here the temp is below zero. Add in wind chill and you get in the negative 20s. It’s so cold that my dog went out to take a piss and he had a yellow icicle coming out his dick…well maybe not that cold.
This article was another stroke of genius.
Heeloyd I still want you to send me some damn chocodiles.

The age of looking out a vehicle window and enjoying nature is truly over for a passenger.

Now I was never a big G.I. Joe fan in the 80′s. I was among the Transformers and He-Man peeps. Though, I did roll with the Chia Pet crowd. I’ve owned 3 in my lifetime. Sheep, tree…..and Homer Simpson! Doh! Grip sticks out like a sore thumb….or claw, in this case. That reminds me of Clawgrip. Man, I loved Super Mario Bros. 2.

If they had chia pets that grew small flowers I bet the’d sell more. Then you could put it on your head and wear it out to fancy dinnders.

Chestnuts roasted by Killer Duck @ 01/15/2004 3:24 AM

I bet Storm Shadow could use his sword and cunning topiary skills to trim the Chia Pet to look like an animal. Yeah I know, it already is an animal…I bet he could make it look like a different animal, like a monkey or a manticore.

It has to be said…

Ch-ch-ch-CHIA!

Now that that’s out of the way…did anyone else get snow yesterday? I got a good six inches here and they still wouldn’t close my school. That’s actually good, though – I had the day off, and now my sister is gone. Time to rejoice…and watch some old Looney Tunes cartoons on the DVD player!

Chestnuts roasted by Paul @ 01/15/2004 9:00 AM

Awwwww.

I was hoping to see the 3 3/4 inch figures

Info on those 12-inch figures:

Storm Shadow was originally released with Snake Eyes in the Spy Troops Movie dvd two-pack. Maybe was released seperately later, I dunno.

- I have no idea what that red repaint of Storm Shadow is.

- Commander Frack is Black Out, the new Cobra sniper.

- Grip is Sand Scorpion from the new Valor vs Venom theme. The smaller 3 3/4 inch one doesn’t look as ridiculous.

The joy of living in a humid climate… raising Chia pets not only provides Chia… but mold as well… lots and lots of mold. The mold wins! M-M-M-Mold!

I loved the part where storm shadow said he was tempted to swich sides.

At this point, I fell out of my chair.

I had a Chia Hippo. Got it for Christmas a few years back. I have no clue where it is now. I think it got lost in the shuffle when I moved last year.

Is anybody else sick as a fucking dog with the flu right now? I thought it was limited to the US East Coast, but here I am in Newfoundland Canada praying for death, or at least some Ny-Quil.

BTW, I have no idea where my comic strip should go next. Any suggestions?

Review Mac and Me.

I can’t wait to see how their lives would be in jeopardy if the damn thing doesn’t grow.

And now I want a Chia pet. I could bring it to work and love it as it stared at me with its curiously blank eyes and winsome, though unfeeling smile…

Anyhow, yes, the Sammy-J line was awesome. I really enjoy your stuff, Matt — keep it up, please!

(I work in government, I’ve got nothing to do all day but peruse websites. Yours is a definite favourite.)

Growing a Chia is as confounding as the whole composite clone thing. Can’t wait to see what the heck they plan to do with it once it’s fully functional.

Chestnuts roasted by kingklash @ 01/15/2004 12:09 PM

That was so funny i spit Root Beer all over my monitor. Not to worry, i’m at work, so i’ll just ask for a new one.

I run a simular site that’s like the adventures you have her, it’s called Figure League Wrestling, http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=f_l_w

Keep Up the good Work

Not only did they only soak the Chia and seeds for an hour, it loks as though their orders didn’t include standing the Chia in a dish of water.
That is going to be one dry Chia.
