A little bit of Nowhere

Ever notice how it's the little things in life that amuse us so much? More to the point, ever notice how it's the silly little idiocies in life that amuse us more than anything else? Well, this is not as much ''the little blog that could'' as it is ''the blog that enjoys going up the down escalator in your local mall.'' Will it have anything of real importance? No, probably not. But enjoy the ride never the less!

Merchandising!
(Where the real money from the love is made)




With Valentine's Day looming almost a week away, I've been avoiding the card shoppes for fear of all the sparkly red & pink things that will try and eat me. So far, I've been maddeningly successful, though not because of my staunch resolve. No, I'm avoiding the mall's Hallmark store out of fear.

How To Bake Your Noodle In 7 Quick, Easy Steps


First...

1) put on the movie Ranma 1/2: Nihao My Concubine
2) make sure you have the dub track on (don't worry, this one won't bite)
3) skip ahead to any scene with Prince Tomo


Then...

4) replace the Ranma 1/2 movie with the new Battlestar Galactica TV series
5) skip ahead to any scene heavily featuring Lt. Gaeta (the most recent eps are
. very good for this, but admittedly bad for your stress levels)
6) listen very carefully to Gaeta's voice


And finally...

7) notice any similarities?



After she made the connection and verified it on IMDB, poor Mel could barely watch the dubbed Ranma movie because her mind shattered every time Tomo had a line. All those toaster jokes I kept making afterwards probably didn't help either.

But that's all for now, though in the very near future, there will be a very virile book report and a sadly true, textbook Chaos-no-Baka moment coming to this little bit of nowhere.
