Does anybody remember the Power Rangers? I was big fan of the series back when it debuted about, oh, eight years ago, and stayed a fan for the first few seasons. (Nowadays I think Saban seriously needs to cancel whatever mutation of the series that’s currently airing on Fox! Kids and let time bury the whole notion that the Power Rangers even existed, but *ahem* that’s just me.)

Anyway, I saw this VeriSign ad the other day; it was a strip of pictures glued together, promoting I-have-no-idea what about their services, but one of the pictures stuck to me. This guy was dressed in the Black Ranger’s costume - no helmet, and he was also wearing a red cape. He stood on a desolate desert road, thumb in the air, apparently trying to pick up a ride from any passing drivers willing to bestow some sympathy on him.

My imagination must’ve been in overdrive, because I could just see the headlines now for this one on tomorrow’s tabloid front cover: “Super Hero Is Really A Bum!” Or, even better: “Super Hero Accidentally Reveals True Identity While Trying to Bum Ride off Trucker.”

That’s my little hokey story to start off your weekend. Hope it’s a quiet one.

P.S. (Isn’t it koo-el how having a blog can help you post the most nonsensical drivel just because you feel like it?)
