A cultural-reference pun and a relationship metaphor, all in one word.
Now that’s a nice butt.
N.B. to any archaeologists who find this post. Scroll through the updates until you find the one dated July 22nd, 2009.
Better?
Man, the puns just keep rollin’ in.
I think we just got foreshadowing of one of Parson’s future campaigns, though…
Oh, I think we’ve been getting that for quite a while. For instance, remeber Vinny’s thought that one of these days a Transylvito protection-racket raid would run into something nasty and veiled? Now, who do we know who has nasty units and a good Foolamancer…?
For a moment, reading that, I was afraid what the picture at the bottom of the page would be…
Not to mention a lava lake. I know Transylvito is mostly air-based but still, imagine marching your army into something you thought was a field but…wasn’t. <sizzle sizzle pip>
I’m idly wondering how Jillian is going to react to bumping into her formerly-deceased ex on the battlefield. Man, if she thought her relationship with Wanda was a mindf**k…
Yeah. I was totally expecting it to be the fountain, too.
Yup. I was thinking Parson’s going to have to be on his toes to keep ahead of him.
Hmmm… is this Don King showing the beliefs underneath the pragmatism, or simply trying to make an impression on Jillian?
Hard to say. He’s either arguing in favor of the Divine Right of Kings or trying to show Jillian that she’s being an obnoxious jerk. Or maybe both.
Don King’s agenda is pretty much what I expected, but the leadup to it has some points of interest.
The scene shifts to a chat between Parson and Charlie.
I think his point was that regardless of divine right or lineage or whatever a king or queen is supposed to act a certain way, and she wasn’t doing it. His obnoxious display was just to show how out of place it was when a leader acted that way. I think he was testing her as a prelude to how she would react to the ‘Jillian, Queen of Faq’ remark.
