Cool Army Stuff

Colin Wells and the Strykers will be hauling lots of high-tech gear into the field. Twenty-three years ago when Aliens released, the film depicted Space Marines equipped with fascinating gear-of-the-future. Now, we've surpassed them as our troops can enter battle and simultaneously watch Seinfeld reruns. "Kick ass and multi-task," the 21st century warrior's cry.

May God bless and protect Colin Wells (the Andy Beaman kid himself) and everyone in the 5th Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division, Stryker Brigade, 4th Battalion, (23 Infantry Regiment) .

Again, you've been reading too much "Interesting News Items", John.

Wait what? [Andy or Randy?] is off to war? Well I'll be... wow.

Colin Wells was the model and voice for Randy Beaman's friend.

That's amazing!
He'll come back with many more stories to tell. I wonder if Randy went to war with him.

Who's son was he again?

Deanna Oliver - She came up with Chicken Boo and wrote a ton of Goodfeathers on 1st season Anamaniacs.

Then she and Sherri Stoner went off to write movies ala Casper.
