[OT/Humor] Is GI Joe now "evil"?

[Desdichado]

Isn't there one player in NHL whose name is Satan? Apparently it doesn't mean that whereever they make those.. .satans.

That GI Joe figure says it's from Argentina. I can certainly confirm that Satan, spelled exactly the same way it is in English, means exactly the same thing in Spanish as well.

 

[Wayside]

It's weird how the names translate into other languages. I know that the big human warrior who wins most of the tournaments is called Hercule on television, but the original translation is Satan. Pretty funny when you have all of the fans cheering his name.

err.. that's DragonBallZ, and it's Mr. Satan to you. No seriously.. it is.

err.. that's DragonBallZ, and it's Mr. Satan to you. No seriously.. it is.

Thanks Wayside. Whew, I apparently blacked out when posting that message or something...

Satan in the NHL

That would be Miroslav Satan, one of the worlds best hockey players. He's from the Check Republic. And plays in the NHL.

I don't know what Satan means in check, but it surely aint... erm... Satan.

Cheers

I wish I hadn't lost my Seargent Slaughter figure, a friend had the William "The Fridge" Perry GI Joe. They got sort of silly towards the end. Talking Cobra Commander sounded alot like he was saying "sleep with the dead" of course my favorite was the Indian who had arrowheads on the tips of the bullets in his gun.

I'm just glad people recognize Frylock, I had a Master Shake and a dancing meatwad too, but I had problems getting them to shrink.

I believe that was Spirit who had the eagle companion

 

[jdavis]

Yea he did have a Eagle companion, and he always ended up fighting Storm Shadow the evil White Ninja in the cartoons for some obscure reason.

 

[der_kluge]

Storm Shadow wasn't so much evil as he was non-good. He opposed Snake Eyes, who trained under the same master as he. But, Storm Shadow probably would have turned on Cobra given the right opportunity.

That picture looks just like Storm Shadow, except red. *shrug* Interesting nonetheless.

jdavis, I have both the Sgt. Slaughter figure and the William "The Refrigerator" Perry figures. I wonder what they're worth....

 

[Kilmore]

The Baroness was the queen of my dreams when I was a young sprout. Now it's Naga from "Slayers".

 

[Anime Kidd]

I always thought Storm Shadow joined Cobra to find out who killed his master or something like that. Or that is what I got from the few comics I had.
