"Howdy, how's it hanging?"

You seem to have bumped into Ettienne R. LaFitte, primarily known as Gung-Ho. He is known for being a Marine in G.I. Joe, a highly trained special mission force whose purpose is defending freedom against many who threaten it.

"Many would call meh by mah real name, Ettienne R. LaFitte, but personally, aah prefer to be called Gung-Ho. Ya okay with that?"

he speaks this statement in a southern accent even though he is of French Cajun ancestry.
