Doctor's Log
August 27, 2004
Ace and Mainframe were in today for food poisoning. I guess Bazooka's cooking is very deadly. Beach Head and Gung Ho couldn't figure out how anyone could be stupid enough to eat Bazooka's cooking. I feel I have to agree with them on this point. There is a reason we have Roadblock.
Duke found out about their Jedi battle. As punishment, he let the female Joes pick out movies for them. A grinning Scarlett walked in later with three movies. Gung Ho and Beach Head barely made it through 16 Candles. By the time they were forced to endure The Princess Diaries they began to revolt.
At first, Beach Head tried to make himself pass out by holding his breath in an attempt to get out of watching it. When that didn't work, he and Gung Ho began throwing ice cubes from their drinks at the TV. They had the faint hope that they would hit the power button and turn it off. One of Gung Ho's ice cubes did hit a button, but it was the volume up button.
I was out of the room most of the time this was happening. When I walked in later with Flint, Gung Ho had somehow managed to get out of bed and over to the TV. He was attempting to throw the DVD out the window when we caught him. I felt it best at this point to hide Pokemon: The Movie. I don't know what would have happened if they'd had to watch that too, but I felt safer not putting it in the DVD player.
Beach Head had also written a letter begging for help in escaping their "prison." He had folded it into a paper airplane and thrown it out the window when Gung Ho was attempting to dispose of The Princess Diaries. Flint threatened them with solitary confinement from each other if they didn't shape up. Since the idea of being separated didn't appeal to them, they settled down the rest of the day.
I have a sudden urge to bang my head repeatedly against my desk.
