Another year, ... well.. another year!

I decide to be more honest to my blog and not fill it with arbitrary things I find interesting. Instead will actually spend some time on writing articles and short stories.

I feel I have done great injustice to the readers of this blog (chinmaya and shruthi.. hehe) by giving them out of date email forward material!!

A disgrace I say...

.....

but hey! its not new year in my part of town yet :-)

So here is one LAST thing which I found extremely hilarious... and to add on a bit of justice here is a small story -

Before I delve into the whole story, I should mention that by the end I will be introducing the band Queen into this story! so please pay attention or it wont make sense. I assure you it is worth the wait!

Not so much later in the future, in a war near you there were two main kinds of warriors. On one side we had the players, the ones who played the field like it was just a game! and on the other we had the enemies. The enemies were always the bad guys, there was no option. Nobody discussed their views or reasons to go to war, they just simply hated them. Much like walking into a shady ally on a dark street at night - anyone who doesnt smell nice is - the bad guy, right?

Anyways, this was a war of a different nature. Good guess, it was not on earth! Did the line 'of a different nature' give it away.. damn you are intelligent!

So this war was in space. A Battleship located in Sector Zero, also known as Zero wing, was surprised with a kamikazi bombing attack!

The dialogues are an english translation from Japanese, so dont complain if it doesnt sound right!

The Story begins:

In A.D. 2101, a WAR was beginning. Zero wing used to be a peaceful place where the one and only Zig-01 was parked and serviced. This ofcourse was our hero's jet fighter.

Everything was going smooth until, suddenly! there was an explosion! The Captain SCREAMED What happen ?. The whole team in the command centre was shocked and frightened, they had never expected nor scene such a scary scene. The mechanic instantly replied, "Somebody set up us the bomb".

Everyone was confused. Who would set us up? why would someone attack? The whole federation army was our ally!! Who would dream of going against us! plus we have the Hero and his Zig-01! The operator interrupted, We get signal.

The captain, really really curious to know whats on TV, asks, "What !". Only to speed up things the Operator commands,Main screen turn on.

We suddenly see an image on screen. It was not a very scary image, but I guess the person himself was scary.. the Captain was very surprised as he said, It's you !!.
The scary man was the leader of the CATS! and since he was a guest, he queried, "How are you gentlemen !!" Only to retaliate before he got an answer with the MOST famous dialogue on the planet! He said, "All your base are belong to us."
He added, "You are on the way to destruction.

It turned out that the federation army had betrayed Zero Wing and let CATS take over the world! The ever-so-positive-Captain didnt believe him and asked, "What you say !!"

The CATS Leader warned the humans to leave ASAP by saying, "You have no chance to survive make your time." Along with a laughter only devils could laugh, "Ha Ha Ha Ha .... "

Being an honest NineToFive worker, the operator wanted to know if he could take he day off, he screamed, "Captain !!"

The captain knew the HERO was on board! The Announcement was made"Take off every 'Zig'!!"
His people stared at him and didnt know how to respond... He repeated himself, "You know what you doing."
His people still were not sure of what was going on.. explosions, threats, evil laughter and then this dude who sounded like he had lost his mind! The Captain re-iterated: "Move 'Zig'."
This time he was understood... Everyone took off a Zig and tried to save the planet! Ofcourse our hero was there to save the world too.. but this story isnt about him:-)

The Captains last words before the great war began: "For great justice."

I'm pretty impressed because for me, spelling "Shruthi" has always been a faux pas (even if it is just one person who notices...)
