Similar to the Movie Quotes Game & Movie Taglines Game,
test your GIJoe Filecard knowledge with "Whose FC said THIS?"

If you get this quote correct, it'll be your turn to post a line from any
filecard you choose... and so on & so forth...
- ALL FILECARDS under the YOJOE-UNIVERSE are FAIR GAME!!
- If you are giving a quote, plz QUOTE IT word for word, hence quoting
- If you are giving a quote, plz quote a WHOLE Sentence up until the period,
OR MORE, not just a few words...
- You are allowed to keep guessing as much as you please
- If there are no guesses in 3 days, plz give a clue ie year, has 3 versions etc
- If it is your turn, and you do not give a File Name within 3days your turn
is forfeited...

For some reason that was one of my favorite filecards as a kid, but I'll let someone else take this one. But considering the colors the figure got stuck with, no he isn't "lucky."

Propadeutic

That's Grunt's 1991 filecard. (Except I think they misspell camaraderie.)

I only know this because I was looking in 1991 for obscure quotes for this contest, and so I read it just yesterday.

I won't be back until tomorrow, so here's another in the meantime:

"Apparently this man or organization is so secretive, and strikes such terror into the hearts of even the basest villains, that speaking any more about them would seal their fates."

This quote is from the filecard for the 2003 Convention Exclusive Lady Jaye. The "secretive man" referred to in the lines above is Black Dragon.

Straightforward and obscure. I like those!

I'm pretty sure it's Recondo, and I'm thinking it's the Tiger Force version but I'm away from my cards right now. (That's the one that hints at Grenada, right?)

You're sharp man. The quote is from the filecard for Tiger Force Recondo, which does indeed mention the 7th Airmobile Assault Unit putting down an uprising on a "small Caribbean nation."

Great job and your turn.

No takers?

Hint #1: From the same filecard: "an extremely logical and rational individual, knows exactly what the dangers are in his chosen specialty; he also knows that his personal skill, experience and coolness under pressure offset the risks to a completely acceptable level."

Hint #2: This version of the figure does not have the character's original code name.

Well, let's think through the information we have.

Tiger Force Wild Bill - Born in Hull, England??? Where the heck is Hull? In my defense, I came across that very quote while I was looking for a stumper last time I had the ball. Sorta cheating I guess, but lucky for me. ;)

Propadeutic
12-14-2005, 11:28 PM
That is correct. To find Hull, locate Leeds (near the center of England) and go east about 50 miles. It's just on the north of the little inlet and is one of the world's largest seaports. Maybe one of the executives went to the University of Hull. They do have a good business school.

Anyway, congratulations, and it's your turn.
