I love not-so-subtle wordplay... I enjoy coming up with creative ways to say things... twisting words to create meanings or thoughts contrary to what was intended...
For example, last night I posted the following message on both Facebook and Twitter...
Sounds pretty twisted, doesn't it? Kinda kinky and sexual, wouldn't you say?
The truth, however, is anything but. See the photo slideshow below to see what I mean (Facebookers, click through).
It was Fire Academy. We were using air tanks to crawl through a lit-up smokehouse crawling around on all fours and attempting to crane our necks upwards to see the fire while also looking down to follow the hose through the building.
I was discussing this at length tonight with a friend. She got a bit of a kick out of it, but wasn't convinced. So I threw this one at her based on our situation at the time I was talking to her.
"Right now, I'm half naked with a woman who is not my wife climbing all over me."
And this statement was 100% true. She died laughing. Mostly at how dirty it sounded. Partially at the fact that I managed to say that with a straight face and so off the cuff.
Turns out I'd managed to turn a simple chiropractic appointment into a tawdry sexual affair.
Oh God, how I love words. I seriously need to be a political spin doctor.
I'm watching V right now. The remake, relaunch, reboot. Whatever you want to call it.
I'm not entirely sure what to make of it all.
It's got promise, I suppose. Note, I use "promise" very loosely. But it was all so rushed. So much crammed into a single hour. Half of what they revealed in this episode could've waited another episode or two.

And, for me, the most shocking thing was the idea that Morris Chestnut is, effectively, the modern version's embodiment of Robert Englund's Willie from the original series.
I'll keep watching for now. But I may have to go rent the originals just to remember how cool it was.
