Girly night out...
Sep. 26th, 2007 08:12 amLast night I went out to see Gail's new painting for an art-talk kind of night. The painting was compelling and interesting Gail-ish--Mickey Mouse and My Little Pony as one of the Four Horses of the Apocalypse. The night kind of degenerated into a coffee and sugar-filled girly gossip night, where we teased our other cow-irker Melika terribly about a friend of hers. I at least feel the guilt and shame of teasing her...twice the usual amount, since Gail feels not a drop of guilt whatsover herself about speculating wildly about the nature of their *ahem* relationship. Nono, not that I'm even hinting it could possibly be even the tiniest smidgen's worth of relationship there, just friends, sure, I can buy that..*snicker* Heeheehee! Good for me Melika's a very good sport. I'll have to sneak her a chocolate something or other just to make up for all the horribleness:)
While the three of us were talking I thought about something that amuses me on and off...I'm sure it's all that Venture Brothers I've been watching lately, but...holy crap, what hench(wo)men we would make for some lucky evil villain. Not the stupid burecratic kind with a tie and an attitude...everybody has at least one of those already. And not some jerkwad with a belt of death blowing up poor strangers and children, either. I mean the comic-y take-over-the-world, wearing a Ming the Merciless skullcap and gauntlets that shoot tranquilizer darts or something...See the parallels for yourself:
Henchmen of the Monarch: Stupid costume with bright colors.
Us: Stupid costume with bright colored clip-on tie.
Henchmen: Called by numbers not names.
Us: Called by numbers, not names...which means sometimes we yell, 'I am not a number, I am a FREE MAN!"
Henchmen: Get called out en masse to do some bizarre and oddly-thought out plan for the ones in control, without thinking much of it.
Us: Every day, and it's strange how quickly one gets used to that...
Henchmen: Lots of wisecracking behind the scenes, which could end in horrible acid-death if caught.
Us: Lots of wisecracking behind the scenes, which could end in worse than the acid bath: Getting scolded. Maybe getting a dirty look.
Henchmen: Tend to have a short shelf-life.
Us: The turnover for the new guys is getting kind of high...maybe they really have that acid bath after all?
Henchmen: Are greeted by the general public with panic and shrieking.
Us; Are greeted by the general public with panic, shrieking, guilty looks, the hysterical lies of "I wasn't TOUCHING IT!" and shrieking from adults and toddlers alike.
Henchmen: Wonder if they've got the guts to go forth and do some Arch-enemy stuff of their own.
Us: Wonder if we've got the guts to maybe do something that doesn't involve a clip-on tie and getting yelled at by strangers...
Henchmen: Will pile on their target in swarms at the command of their evil overlord.
Us: Will pile on their target in swarms because they pissed us off.
Henchmen: sit around in the breakroom a lot being bored.
Us: Sit around the breakroom a lot being bored...
See? See? If I ever quit the Jade Mines anytime soon, I'm sure I will have a glorious career as a Henchwoman...maybe I can even get a liscence for Arch-enemy stuff. Hehhehhehhhh...
