And do what exactly? It doesn't carry weapons. It doesn't carry paratroopers. It can't even defend itself in hostile airspace.
Airborne divisions aren't exactly on call 24/7 like Ambulances or Fire & Rescue teams. You watched too many G.I.Joe cartoons as a boy.

This is as old as Eisenstein.

Captain Jack, your car is here.

Speeder Bike? You're doing it wrong.

Or the Leonard Maltin scene, in which he's attacked while giving his negative review on the FIRST Gremlins movie?

BUBBA: Haven't you heard of Missiles Я Us?

There was a piece in the news this week about thermoptic contact lenses. Cybernetic display contact lens units now don't seem so farfetched.

Ahti Lahti. I'm a menu item at a chintzi hipster coffeehouse.

It's dated but it hit me at the right time when it came out. And if there's anybody I would want to play the role of me in a biopic, it would be Glen Boudin.
