The Perfect Rangers

Thursday, December 2nd, 2004

Lately I was going over the Power Rangers in my head. I rememberd the pink ranger was freakin hot. The yellow ranger was tough because she had no skirt like the pink ranger. We all wanted to be the red ranger, but not as much as we wanted to be the green ranger. And the black ranger had a succesfull career on Space Cases. I even recalled Zordon and his robot slave Alpha 5. But I completley forgot about the blue ranger! I think he was everybody’s least favorite. It was because he was the intelligent one without the nice hair. Its funny how that is still the standard even after we are over children’s shows. Children are real bastards! I remember going to see the green ranger in the Melbourne Mall and waiting for hours in line. Finally we gave up and settled on a press photo with a printed signiture. My brother and I had finally realized how stupid it was to wait around all day to tell some long haired man in tights how cool he was. I hope you enjoyed it while you could Tommy! After you transformed from the green ranger to the white ranger, taking over leadership, it was only a matter of months before you would fall. Not that any of us wanted to accept it, but we did eventally. With the first megazoid upgrade all of us were excited. But by the time the films came out, every other week was a new cast of characters, replacing those who had to attend peace treaties in Switzerland. The bottom line is that we were all suckers once. Don’t attack Pokemon because your kid brother eats, breathes, and dreams it. You know you rushed home every day to tape the Power Rangers. You know those commercials leading up the revealing of the white ranger drove you absolutley crazy! Wanting to know who was under that helmet, even though you knew it was Tommy the whole time.
