Hasbro
         toymaker company  also owns the trademarks Kenner Parker Brothers Milton Bradley
its nice to know what conglomerates own so you know that trademarksthe originals  now have shit to do with their products
          like if he sold his kids because the price was right  and they think they can teach his girls to pull better tricks than he would have

Hasbro



he was showering eyes closedfacing into the huge showerhead his girlfriend had to have -- he still had it she had a good idea before she left – and maybe it was the spray on his closed eyelids or water making his breathing difficult that twistedenticed him to think of Hasbro out of the fucking blue

Hasbro  then he thought Has – bro   Has -- bros 
                                                      he rarely referred to a guy as bro maybe three fourdefinitely two a bro would be a guy other than his siblings none of whom he called bro 

bro suggests  something   tighter  to bleed for die for

a bro shows up even when they know theyre walking into a lost cause


Has – bro 
            when did they decide to make G.I. Joe dolls for young boys

think about that


dolls for boys


anatomically incorrect male dolls eunuchs Joe aint no Joe hes Kizlar Agha of Constantinople
                                                                                                   at least Barbie had big tits a hint of an ass if Mattel had given Barbie Millicent Roberts a hint of a pussy hed have ask for his own on his birthday or for Christmas Please Santa please a Bild-Lilli What? What’s that? Shes a doll based on a German high-end call girl he shrugs his shoulders at Santa I dont know what a call girl is
                                                                              maybe because he was naughty that Christmas he wasnt going to get an imported Bild-Lilli and then to spite himreally drive home the point he was also denied a Barbie made in the good old U. S. A.
he couldnt catch a break



Has – Bros  G. I. Joe dolls for boys WHEN THAT occurred to him in the shower

it also occurred to himhe thought he knew WHEN that disrupted his shower he killed ittoweled off wrapped the towel around his waist and went to the telephone on the stand in the hall

he called his Folks  they were 21 19 years apart  fuckin contemporaries

his mother answered 

Hey Maw Got a question
                            he did it often enough that if either of his parents answered they disregarded his rudenesshis inability to play nice before getting down to brass tacks
                                                        however later in conversation once he got his information he told them candidly the only way he ever spoke to them Business before pleasureawright  I know you understand So  How are ya

his Maw  given the day or her temperament called him crass or Who is it you think you are talking to? or rude man crude vile . .  
             he interjected reminded her he was her son End of bullshitawright Yaknow exactly who I am This should be no surprise he thought more often than not that he was the one surprised that by now she hadnt recognised his patent abruptness and vulgarity

Give it a thought Maw
                        Can you remember what year G. I. Joe was introduced to America

Well, Joe, it sounds to me you know.

I think I know But this is kinda like me calling you or Paw to learn if I dreamt something made it up or it was actually a memory Im calling for confirmation

When do you think, Joe? Because honestly I really can’t say that I remember the year G. I. Joe went on sale.

After Kennedy was assassinated

Yes, I would agree.

Awright   Then Id say ’64   Before LBJ beat Goldwater

Yes.  I think I could agree to that.

Mebe  mebbe not after the bullshit Gulf of Tonkin incident and the resolution that granted Johnson the power to use military forcecommit the our soldiers without Congress declaring war  What cun . .
. . JOE!

No JOE What the hell was Congress thinking Maybe if they pulled their thumbs out of their ass ceased their selfinflicted anal pleasure maybe then they might have thought clearly

Gulf of Tonkin was horseshit

Please, Joe, you . were what . . ten?  Why would you have known that?

Are you kiddin me By the time I was ten Id been delivering the Trib and Sun-Times for better than two years I read them every day as I walked my route and came home for breakfast
                                                                        You must remember that

I think someone in Hasbros marketing was a fucking genius Think about it they sold corporate on selling dolls to boys I think they smelled Nam coming smelled the blood saw it in the water smelled napalm and torched jungle Anif they helped boys fantasise play war running around the neighbourhood then later intimately fantasising with doll soldier that they could accessorise with a wide array of lethal force

Well possibly helped prep a nation of boys to go to Nam and fight Commies 


Nice things about toys they die  but they dont die


The United States had twentythousand military advisors in South Vietnam in’64

The Military Industrial Complex smelled gold in dem dar hills And possibly this was the prescient gateway to the Military Industrial Entertainment Complex American entertainment flyovers at professional football gamesfuckin really apparently Americans like their wars whether just or not   

Its good businessaint it

Joe. I don’t remember. I would probably, no . . no . I would urge you to go with what you know, confirm at the library. You always have liked card catalogue. You like research.

Sound advise Maw I love ya

               maybe    maybe  maybe they were waiting for someone to say itstep up clear their throat  not cry           and say it

 maybe


speaking for himself he was making it up as he went alonghe never imagined himself in such a circumstance  he had no training   all he had was love

he told her that he was wearing his sharpest cheerleading outfit the skirt with alternating coloured pleats  shaking his pompoms madly
                 The matching coloured panties too he said  though I was tempted not to wear any

with her eyes she gave him an enthusiastic Thank you, Dadu.
                                                                 Dadu he imagined because ever since she misspelled Dad with her eye-gaze machine – perhaps slightly tempted to try Daddy which she never used – the family hadnt let up on himthey gave her the break but they went after him in full regalia he could take the tease  he saw the delight in her eyes when they did she had been the instigator and she had every right to enjoy it enjoy her due  Dadu  

Youre welcome baby



his soninlaws brother said it 

he had the cred

he was eighteen years in a wheelchair through no fault of his own

he asked  Wanting to heal, and help; can they actually be more damaging than good?
