Doctor's Log
September 13, 2004
Chuckles wrecked his car this morning. He and Falcon had been drag racing in the country. You can bet Duke busted their butts for that. He managed to come out mostly unscathed, with just some scratches on his face and arms, and some bruises. You know, Duke has no room to talk, and neither does Flint. I seem to remember them pulling a similar stunt about eleven years ago.
William managed to escape injury from Roadblock earlier. Disappointed that Kamakura couldn't cook, Roadblock decided to recruit William into the kitchen to try his hand at cooking. It was a disaster. I was standing right there when Roadblock chased him out of the kitchen, waving a spatula while yelling "Can't any of you ninjas bloody cook?!" I guess he accidentally started a fire on the stove. After that, Roadblock posted a sign on the kitchen door. This is what it said.
"All ninjas
or anyone with ninja training is hereby banned from these premises. They have
been found to be a menace to
the cooking society."
Roadblock
Well as you can imagine, this didn't sit well with Jinx. She went in to prove Roadblock wrong, but ended up accidentally breaking a few dishes. She slipped out before he noticed. Snake Eyes as of yet hasn't made an attempt to infiltrate the kitchen.
Meanwhile, back in the infirmary, Beach Head and Gung Ho became artist wannabes. They used the crayons I'd given them a few days ago to decorate the wall between them. I was mad. They tried to defend themselves by saying they had to repaint the room anyway because of the marker, so what was wrong with a little crayon? Except that it wasn't a little crayon, it was a lot of crayon. They had a whole mural drawn up of a mock battle scene. Interestingly enough, there also seemed to be a Matrix figure dodging bullets from some COBRA troops.
Since Dusty couldn't do any kind of activity, he wanted to watch a movie. Of course, the movies he wanted to watch just had to be Star Wars. He didn't know about the lightsaber battle since he'd been in Egypt at the time.
He was disappointed when I told him that they'd been banned. Dusty laughed pretty hard after I told him why they'd been banned. He didn't believe me at first until Beach Head and Gung Ho showed him their casts, which still bore the names of "Darth Wayne" and "Jedi Master LaFitte." Then he got mad at them for getting the movies banned and ruining it for him.
Dusty negotiated with me and I allowed him to watch the Indiana Jones trilogy. Beach Head and Gung Ho were quite happy to comply. I guess they like the movies, which is a little surprising to me. Personally, the The Last Crusade is my favorite of the three movies. But that's probably because I love the character Sean Connery plays as Indy's father. He's basically a non-combatant too. They've already watched the first movie and are currently watching The Temple of Doom. I'm just hoping no unfortunate effects come from watching this like what had happened from Star Wars.
D.C. has also taken to Dusty, although he's not in much of a position to pet him. He was surprised I had a cat. He was even more surprised that the cat liked Beach Head and Gung Ho and that they liked him back. Right now D.C.'s perched on the table between them. He seems to have taken up an additional duty of "guarding" any of my patients. They're getting a kick out it.
Let's just hope Shipwreck or Clutch don't end up in here. I don't think D.C. would "guard" them.
