Conan sent a very nice letter to Santa Claus letting him know that all he wanted for Christmas was a vintage live action G.I. Joe American Hero doll with kung-fu grip by Mattel. To his great dismay, come Christmas morning, all he found in his stocking was a lump of coal. With the boiling anger of disbelief that it was even possible for him to be on the Naughty List, he vowed that, by hell or high water, he would march on Santa’s workshop, burning and pillaging, and by force claim his vintage live action G.I. Joe American Hero doll with kung-fu grip by Mattel. Sure, in the past year he cleft a few skulls, crushed a number of ribs, and choked the life out of his enemies with his bare hands. He may have even ran a sword or two through those that opposed him. But, did that warrant him being put on the Naughty List? By Holy Ishtars name, no!
