If You Aren't Busy Friday Morning at WDW......

[WaltD4Me]

If you aren't busy Friday morning and you are at WDW, you can see 300 GI Joe's being hurled off a building! Marking the start of the GI Joe convention being held at the Swan & Dolphin.

You learn something new every day.........

I never knew there was such a thing as a GI Joe convention and I definitely didn't know the traditional way to start the convention is to have 300 GI Joe's parachute from the roof of the hotel. Judging by the video it's quite the exciting event.

Why does this remind me of Launchpad11b?

Why does this remind me of Launchpad11b?

I used to love my GI Joe with Life Like Hair and Kung Fu grip.
He dated my "Skipper" Barbie Doll. They drove Joe's Jeep.
Barbie dated Ken. They drove a Tonka Dump Truck.

Skipper got the better end of that double date.

Why does this remind me of Launchpad11b?

Because you want to throw me off of a roof? Harsh Jeff, very harsh.

I was so going to be there but I see it is closed to the public.

Oh, I didn't see that at the bottom. It's outside though, I wonder how they are going to close it off? Or you know, you could just register for the GI Joe conference!

I'll have to bulk up significantly before I try that Paul!

Okay, no where did it say that this was 300 G.I. Joe action figures. So my first thought was people are going to throw 300 human G.I. Joe's off a building. Then I watched the video and thought that "oh, 300 human people dressed like G.I. Joe were going to jump off the building".

It has been a long.....but it was a great laugh.

Going to miss this by one day. Looks pretty cool.
