“G.I. Joe.”\u00a0 Just generically G.I. Joe.\u00a0 No specific character.\u00a0 I think that\u2019s weird, looking back, but whatever.\u00a0 (Early 80’s.)
\n<\/p>\n
A Ninja.\u00a0 Also generic, though again G.I. Joe influenced \u2013 Storm Shadow.\u00a0 Except no gay outfit, I was traditional black pajamas for many Halloweens. (Also early 80’s.)<\/p>\n
An astrophysicist.\u00a0 This is thanks to Jared Martin\u2019s portrayal of Dr. Harrison Blackwood in the War of the World<\/em>s TV series<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 (Which I blathered on about a few years ago right here<\/a>.) (Late 80’s.)<\/p>\n An FBI Agent.\u00a0 Thanks to Twin Peaks<\/em>, of course. (1990-92.)<\/p>\n A geologist.\u00a0 Besides a life-long love for rocks and shit, my freshman adviser in college tried to steer me in this direction. (1992-93.)<\/p>\n I decided to go with History instead because, despite all my dreams, I really liked hearing about people being slaughtered by devious fucks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “G.I.
