Here we go again!
My name is Matt, I'm 28 years old, I live in California, and I work for Wells Fargo Bank.
I'd been familiar with the RAH Joes since they first came out, but I didn't get into them for real until I was in the 7th grade. I also love Marvel Comics, the Transformers, Star Trek, and Star Wars. My current favorite TV shows include 24, Lost, Prison Break, Family Guy, and American Dad. My favorite TV show of all time is Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, followed closely by Batman: The Animated Series.
I don't post a lot of comments here, but I look at pretty much every picture and read pretty much every dio. I may be best known around these parts for my small contribution to the Joe dio-community, "G.I. Joe and the Transformers"-- a dio-story unique in that it features the Joes and Hasbro's other big brand-- as well as a lot of Photoshop work!
My favorite Joe is Duke, and my favorite Cobra is a toss-up between Slice and the Baroness. I'm eagerly awaiting the 25th anniversary Joes, which have me more excited than any Joe products that have come out in many years. On this site that puts me in the minority, though on other Joe forums, that seems not to be the case.
Other miscellaneous trivia: My favorite fictional character ever is Sherlock Holmes, followed closely by Optimus Prime. Favorite foods include burgers, pizza, and pasta. I have no favorite drink, unless you count water, and my favorite color is blue.

Hey everyone, I'm Dersham the semi lurker/semi contributor. I'm 22, my real name is Tao, yes like the philosophy/religion, I'm using lots of slashes today. I live in Canada, opposite side to Jay though, on the West Coast on an island called Vancouver Island. Currently I'm a student of anthropology and am close to graduating.
I've been collecting joes since I was a wee lad, the first joe I ever saw when I was like 5, I knew right then I would be collecting them, and lo and behold here I am several years later and still collecting. I've recently started customizing, my blue unit was on here a while back though I've bumped my unit up to 8 now.
I've posted some diostories of a... special quality, I'm lazy and don't put as much work into it as a lot of you guys, but honestly, doesn't someone need to be bad at this? I'm huge into wargaming, not so much with the little figures these days as I've been wargaming with Joes, though the game is RPG as well as strategy and utilizes squad sized tactics. I've been working on the rules for a few years now and think they work well to some degree, but refinements are always being made on my part. I'm a huge fan of Venture Bros too, that show is awesomely hilarious.
Hmm that's all I've got, but that's enough I guess.

Some interesting stories here.
Dersham- do you pronounce your name Tao or Dao?
I was pleased to hear you're studying anthropology. Its a real interest/hobby of mine- particularly paleoanthropology- and the history of tattoos.
I briefly introduced myself before, but no harm going over it again.
Im Chris, 32, rapidly going on 12.
Been collecting Joes since they were Action Force over here.
(Im Scottish- as Im sure Ill mention time and again)
I started when I was around 7 or 8 with Baron Ironblood and a few Red Shadows.
When the better articulated stuff came along, I far preferred that, so started on that.
Lost interest when all the neon stuff came out- and was far more interested in getting drunk anyways at that time.
Got back into Joes a few years ago, when I finally got a computer and discovered YoJoe- where Im also known as Bigtattoo.
irl- well, Im a trained psychiatric nurse, but actually have had to give it up, due to a variety of health reasons.
I have bad asthma- not helped by the fact I smoke like a laboratory beagle.
And other stuff Id rather not go into, so Im afraid Im also another one who's unemployed at present.
Im a big fan of tattoos- no surprises there- and have almost 30% coverage, with my arms mostly done- my left's sleeved (which means covered totally), and the rest everywhere else from head to foot.
Im sporadically into weight-training, and have been on and off for approx. 20 years (more off than on in the last few- as my waistline will testify)
Im also a voracious reader- particularl Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Crime drama.
Fav Food- Pizza
Fav drink- Coffee.
Fav colour- black.
Fav. Joe- Lowlight
Fav. Cobra- hmmm, Id have to go with Firefly- as Destro isnt really Cobra anymore.
Thats about it.

Hi, this is Talon, from the other Joe sites, and it seems like I walked in after a barroom brawl broke out. First of all, no, I'm not the lurker you guys have been battling recently. I've read the post and it's pretty pathetic. Reminds me of Jedisarlacc from JoeSightings and Joebattlelines, another illustrious member of the "Banned from Joe Sites" Club.
Anyway, my main Joe past time is collecting and customizing. At present I have some 817 customs complete with another 43 in the hopper. I'm hoping to be able to start posting some of these darned things in a few weeks, both her and at my own site, which currently under construction. Have been viewing the dios for quite some time and "borrowing" (read:knocking off) those ideas that I like. Hoping to be able to do some dios in the coming months too
Personally, excited about the 25th Anni, looking forward to the upcoming con (even if I won't be there) and getting married in October. Will post as necessary/when I feel like it. I'll be honest but respectful, and hope for the same.
and for the record, I have a Comic Pack Firefly

Okay, for those who missed it first time round, here we go again. My name is Craig, and I have been hanging around this site for a couple of years now. I only really post one-shots, mainly because I'm too darn lazy to sit down and write a proper diostory (maybe one day....  ). I have posted a couple of threads in the how to section, and I'm always happy to share my limited knowledge of GI Joe-dom, especially about customising and painting vehicles.
In the "real" world, I'm very happily married to the beautiful Deanne, and we've been together twenty years this year. We live all the way down here in Australia, which is pretty much a Joe wasteland. All the stuff I get has to be shipped here from the US, so it can get pretty costly, but that will never stop me from buying the stuff I want. Luckily my wife supports my addiction! To support my "habit", I work as a senior Lab Technician in the plastics industry. Not very exciting, but it pays the bills! In my spare time not spent on Joes, I'm pretty serious about keeping fit and enjoy listening to music. My other collecting bugs include 1/64 scale Nascar diecast cars, trading cards, and US Civil War relics and photos.
I love the friendly community on this site, and I have met some great people from all over the world thanks to Joedios. Alright, that's enough blabbering from me, there's just one more thing to say..... YoJoeDios!!!
