Required Cognates

Before I start on the next few things I have planned for In The Now, there are some things you need to know. I guess you could call them precognates, if you were designing a scholastic program, so here they are:

- I know I have no life. I have a baby. Fortunately, I have Microsoft Word.
- Hank Ilesic is a former CFL Punter
- Dorian Boose played for the New York Jets at the same time that Brad, Sean and I enjoyed our three-player franchise in John Madden 2000.
- I am a fanatical Flash Gordon enthusiast. That is not to say that I would go to a Flash Gordon movie dressed in appropriate regalia. But I do love the movie. I believe that this was caused by a combination of things, including, but not limited to:
- My dad took me to see Flash Gordon when I was very young and impressionable.
- Queen did a very good job on the soundtrack, the memory of which haunted me through my youth. “FLASH!”
- When Rob and I finally chased a copy of Flash Gordon down, it was on a night when his mom gave us FREE PIZZA.
-I have found support and camaraderie in my devotion.

- The cast of Flash Gordon includes, but is not limited to:
- Flash: Our hero. Does nothing wrong. His motives are always pure – mostly.
- Emperor Ming: Tyrannical ruler of Mongo. He sows mistrust among his princes “Outside his own kingdom, the hunter becomes the hunted” is Ming’s Law.
- Prince Barin: “Official” heir to Ming’s throne. Also, “Official” boyfriend to Princess Aura. I say “Official” because these things are subject to change without notice.
- Princess Aura: Seductress – she aims at her target and hits whatever she aims at. She aims at Flash and that makes Barin mad.

I’m sure there are other things you’ll probably need time to catch up to, but Bloggers are fairly intelligent people for the most part, and I’m pretty sure you’ll figure it out.


Or just get disgusted and not read this.

Oh dear. I guess I won't be calling Aurora "Princess Aura" anytime soon.

Not unless they want a fight from me.

I don't think you want to compare your daugher to Princess Aura...

Krista Leddy said...

I don't doubt she'll grow up to be a vixen, but she will be taught in the ways of an honourable vixen.

Thank goodness she is getting too old for the whole "princess" thing... and a bit too tomboyish. Whew!

Sean Woods said...

So "schtup" means "smack in the face," then?

Woo!

Hugs & Kisses: Schtupping is a thing best done in the privacy of your own home (rather than at a night club with a bunch of other ladies trying to use the rest-room)

zxxkbix: zaxxon kills burgertime in xtreme-games.
(lame, I know, but zxxkbix?)

Schtupping is also an activity frequently performed before cameras...often by 'starlets' who can then 'accidentally' lose the tape, somehow on an online auction site.

Oh, and the makers of Burgertime must have been on some good dope.
