The Gumby Wars

I know you too well, my flock, my faithful flock. You do not trust your Dear Leader to deliver on his promises of months, even years ago.

But building a castle does not involve two, or even two thousand bricks. However, it always starts with one, as the philosopher Mike2MikegotchaZEE! used to say.

But my saga of G.I Joe versus Gumby WILL COME TO FRUITION. Mistake me not, flock. My mind is teeming (mostly with beer, but sometimes with neurons) and I WILL PULL THIS OFF.

(Warning: spoilers ahead):

Commander Alden Benjamin Bock (Al B. Bock) assembles a motley crew of misfits who have been AWOL or in the brig for a long time. There is no funding from the Pentagon and these are no special forces. Just a bunch of losers from World War II -- from all sides, Axis and Allies. There is even a character from the future, No matter. They are all losers.

Bock has to assemble them and get them shipshape for an important mission that is not approved by the Pentagon: eliminate Gumby and his trusty but perverse horse and notorious torturer, Pokey.

It turns out that there are hundreds of millions of Gumbys and Pokeys and in reality, the Exalted Gumby (see below) presides over a socialist terrorist state which threatens the world.

Thus, the CSTON-Team (pronounced "SEE-Ston for "Can't Spell Their Own Names") must be assembled from the raggedy ass bunch of wretched but extremely talented specialists to take out Exalted Gumby and remove the threat of eternal Gumby-hatched terror from the civilized world.

(See? I told you it was a spoiler.)

Commander Bock is on the job. Look for the first exciting episode soon.

Meanwhile, here is a covert snapshot of the perpetrators/targets taken from an X-Fire Laser-guided High Density Camera Satellite Drone (XFLGHDCSD, or X-Drone for short):
