Today when I was walking into the Cathedral of Learning, I overheard this short conversation:

Girl: I can’t believe you don’t watch movies, that’s ridiculous.

Boy: I do watch movies, I’ve just never seen Batman.

At this point I turned around and yelled asked “What?”

The girl burst into laughter and the guy was NOT happy. To avoid having to show him how much I’ve learned from watching Batman, I got out of there quickly.

Rangers

Zords

RangersThis summer I have done a ton of driving. Now, I love my Nissan. I enjoy driving it and it handles great. But I was thinking last night that I would love to mix things up a bit. The following text message conversation between me and my good friend Emily ensued:

Me: I was just thinking that the only thing I would rather drive back to Pittsburgh than the Nissan is a zord.

You don’t know what a zord is? Obviously they are the vehicles driven by the power rangers, as indicated by the video at the end of this post.

Emily: Bahahaha! Which one? Or the mega zord?

Me: Dragonzord would be fun, but conspicuous. I would need one that flies. The megazord is too much to pilot solo.

Emily: Hahahaha! So true so true. I always liked Kimberly’s zord*

*The pterodactyl

Me: You’re such a girl

Emily: You just said you needed something that flies!

Me: True, true. But pink? Then I’d have to wear pink shirts all the time*.

*In case you didn’t know, the Power Rangers always wore shirts that matched the color of their zords. Kimberly was the pink ranger, because she is a girl.

Emily: You only said you wanted a zord to drive to pitt…not actually enlist! And anyways you love pink!

Me: Haha. “Enlist.” The nice thing about pitt is the rivers so there are plenty of places to hide zords.

As indicated by the video below, zords must come from a hidden location. Lacking volcanoes, any of the three rivers would be great hiding places.
