Doctor's Log
September 7, 2004
Movie Night was hilarious last night. Most of the Joes that were off duty were there, even General Hawk. Beach Head and Gung Ho were forced to stay in the infirmary. They'd have thrown a holy fit if they'd seen the footage Jinx had shot.
Everyone was laughing hysterically at the sight of Beach Head and Gung Ho being forced to endure pink and Little Mermaid bed sheets. This wasn't the only footage of Joes that we watched though.
There was a little clip someone had shot, I think it was Lady Jaye, I don't know. But it was of an angry Scarlett pushing Snake Eyes into the pool, and him being dunked by Jinx. I guess even a ninja like Snake Eyes can get frightened of two angry women. I wonder what he'd done to make them mad.
Other clips that we watched included a philosophical debate between Duke and Flint over Coca-Cola Vs. Pepsi. Don't ask, it was weird. They didn't know they were being taped. Another clip was of Roadblock trying to teach Firewall and Kamakura how to gourmet cook. It was interesting to say the least. Kamakura somehow thought that two cups of rice was two cups per person. The pot exploded with rice. Roadblock had chased him out of the kitchen after that. Firewall seemed to do pretty well though. Roadblock's claimed her as his protégé'.
Along with this, we made fun of some Cobra propaganda tapes that Stalker had found. I took these back to the infirmary and let my two patients amuse themselves. Beach Head and Gung Ho had a ball with making fun of the promotional videos.
D.C. has taken it upon himself the be the infirmary "guard." Every person that comes in must pass his inspection. If they meet his approval, he usually ignores them. But if someone like Shipwreck or Clutch comes in, D.C. hisses and goes into "attack kitty" mode. He scared Clutch off.
Speaking of D.C., he got in a fight with Junkyard in the hallway. You'd think an old, battle-scarred cat would lose to a dog at least half his age, maybe more. But D.C. kicked his ass. Junkyard ran with his tail between his legs to find his master. An angry Mutt came in, but Junkyard was the one that started the fight, not D.C.
Beach Head and Gung Ho greatly admired the old cat after the battle. They've started calling him the "Old Soldier." Beach Head also called him "Old Blood and Guts," which was General George S. Patton's nickname. They even coaxed him over to their beds and gave the belligerent cat a treat. D.C. settled happily on the small table between them and enjoyed the praise. Leatherneck even popped his head in here after he heard about the "battle." He said I should start taking D.C. along on the missions and let him do the fighting I won't do.
At least Beach Head and Gung Ho like the cat now. I hope I'm not forced to give him up.
Author's Note: I'd like to thank everyone who gave me their condolences. Thank you. I'll finish updating tomorrow so that the date is current.
