Even better than when a sandwich explodes against the kevlar of a dildoian ICE agent.

Oh man, take how funny it was to see pink shirt spike a subway footlong on an ICE agent's shirt but imagine it exploding with a shocking but harmless crackling noise. It's the Boston equivalent of slapping someone across the face with a white glove and challenging them to a duel, only instead of polite European accents everyone's voice sounds like you're throwing cookware down a flight of stairs.
 
I'm a state traitor. If given the choice between a good lobster roll or a mediocre crab cake, I'm taking the crab cake.

(Which just sent me looking at Ru's "Joes by state" list to find there's only two Joes from Maryland and really only Deep Six to truly defend the honor of the crab cake)

The thing that makes me annoyed with Joes being lefties is that their sidearm holsters/sheathes seldom match the figure. But the best figures have both hands with vertical joints. It really means a lot to me, although not so much that I will or pass on a figure for it (I can swap hands if it's a huge deal).

Crystal Ball has both verticals and I find him much more fun to pose than the Ghost Vipers who are lefties.

Slice has both verticals and for that reason alone I enjoy posing him more than Dice who has both horizontal hinges.

Well... I was born in Virginia so I am firmly with you there.

Wanting Flint to be left, even having the vertical hinge on his left hand, but his pistol holster on his right leg is truly annoying. though retro is definitely set up to be righty since he's got the open left hand to pump the shotgun with and does not have a right hand equivalent.

Pump the shotgun was someone's name in college around here, wasn't it.
 
If you guys wanna get crazy, you can always get replacement holsters and switch them out the way you like. I keep meaning to get a CG holster (on the left) for my left handed Viper heh
 
Actually, speaking of fixing holsters and such: anyone else having a hell of a time getting Mercer's knife/sheath to stay on his boot? I HATE gluing things on permanently but it's more like a prison ankle monitor than a booth sheath right now.

Did you know that it's been theorized that a Boston accent is closer to an actual old British accent during the Revolutionary War period than the current British accent?
So people challenging other people to duels in 1815 were literally doing it with Boston accents.



Regarding dirty lefties: @The Scream Man - you're not the first person even in this very thread to rant about this. It does seem to be like.. too many.. Joes? NONE is too few. But it definitely feels like too many. As a lefty myself, I am actually not a fan of it. I've spent my whole life seeing everyone else be right-handed, so I always treated my toys as right-handed because it LOOKS right. I don't see myself holding things, but watching movies and TV shows and all that... everyone is a righty so that's what makes sense in my brain. Maybe that sounds weird.

So some representation is a good thing. But between the figures that could be left-handed just based on their design not favoring one side or the other, and figures that are definitely left-handed based on their design - it feels like there's too much swinging in that direction.
