I'VE GOT OPINIONS! BUT THEY'RE SLOW IN COMING...

Okay, so I've gone from Matt, the prolific blogger, posting nigh every day for awhile, to Matt, the lazy blogger, with 1 post in a week (and that was only because of the deaths of the legends yesterday). I've got opinions! Honest injun I do! And I'll get on that for the ones of persons that read this site, because I know they've gotta be DYING to hear what I have to say! No...really. They've gotta be! ...right? Right? ... *sigh*

DOWN AT OUR RENDEZVOUS

*sob* This is a truly sad day... John Ritter is dead! *sniffle* A true legend--gone. Just like that. Three's Company is one of the finest examples of the television sitcom ever--EVER--to grace the small screen. John Ritter is the one of the finest examples of a physical comedian ever--EVER--to grace the small screen. His death, coupled with Johnny Cash and Charles Bronson's deaths, make for a trifecta of suck. True men among men, these three. Rest in peace...

PLANETEER ALERT!

Watching Captain Planet the other morning, I began thinking: Is it mandated that the Planeteers must yell out the name of their power when using it? Because they do. They don't just point their rings in the general direction of where they want it to go to, they always yell out "Fire!" or "Water!" in addition to pointing. Here's how I picture the scene where Gaia gives the Planeteers their rings for the first time:

Gaia: "I now bestow upon you your rings. In them, the power of the elements are contained--except you Matee, you have the power of heart. You can, like, talk to animals and stuff...
Matee: (lip trembling; looking longingly at Wheeler's ring) *sigh*
Gaia: "Use your rings...wisely."
Wheeler: "Rock on!"
Kwame: "This is very good indeed!"
Gaia: "The only rule you must follow when using your rings is that you must also call out the name of your power every time you choose to use it."
Planeteers: (collective groan) "Oh man!" "Come on Gaia!"
Gaia: "I didn't make the rules people! The elements may have powers beyond belief, but they still have their limitations too you know!"

Yup, that's how it happened. You read it here first, the lost Captain Planet scene!

Hmmmm...what's sadder, that I know all the names of the Planeteers, or that I took the time to type this scenario out? *sigh*
