From days of long ago,
From uncharted regions of the universe,
Comes a legend,
The legend of Voltron,
A mighty robot,
Loved by good,
Feared by evil....
I was feeling nostalgic today after filling my belly with chilli chicken, so I decided to slither through Wikipedia in order to feel young again. Voltron just popped into my mind, so I keyed it in and voila. Made me remember the good old days when I had to get of so many distinctions in my exams just so my mom would buy me the Black Lion. We had the entire set of 5 lions spread out amongst my cousins so that Voltron could only be formed once or twice a year.
It was Deepavali 1988, the evil Old Whiner empire had commenced its attack on the youth of planet Grandma's House. Constantly bombarded with blasts from the You Kids Don't Appreciate Anything Cannons and fired upon by When We Were Young Fighters, 5 young kids did battle agains this horrible scourge.
Reaching deep into their backpacks, they drew forth their Lions and engaged in the desperate defense of their people. Mighty though the Lions were, the Old Whiner empire unleashed its ultimate weapon. The Political Conversation Star!! The most devastating weapon in the empire's arsenal, firing concentrated beams of complete and utter bullshit about the government, Mahathir, Lim Kit Siang, Karpal Singh, and other horrendous topics; it would annihilate them.
Sinking to the depths of despair, the 5 young kids almost gave up hope. Suddenly, the burning desire to stand up to this tyranny flowed through them. They had to fight back. Someone screamed "Let's go Voltron Force". They formed feet and legs. They formed arms and torso. And I formed the head (see Black Lion was the coolest). A massive battle of celestial proportions took place.
With a blinding flash of light, the 5 kids found themselves in a room with a T.V. with some vague memory of being told to sit down and shut up. And so the battle continues....
See this is what happens when I get bored. I ramble. Oh my!!! 1 and a half hours till check out time, then its Coffee Bean until X-Men at 7:15!!! |
