“Forget it Ming, Dale’s with me.”
We have somewhat of an ODDassociation in today’s notable passings. Constance Moore capitalized on her feminine beauty while Molly Yard soundly beat the drum of feminism.
So do any other ODD associations lurk within the cosmos? Moore starred opposite W.C. Fields
in “You Can’t Cheat an Honest Man.” Well, you can see the issue of gender equality in the title alone. What of the fate of honest women? And what about the quotes of Fields
(e.g. “No doubt exists that all women are crazy; it’s only a question of degree.” Then we come to Moore’s staring role in Buck Rodgers
. (BTW, this is a link to a very sucky website, compared to this Flash Gordon website
, which isn’t too shabby)
” Who was the male lead in Buck Rogers? Why of course, “Buster Crabbe.” Now hold on cause we’re about to make a stretch. Short for “Buster” is “Bust,” and we know how the bust fits into all arguments feminine ( click here
for a short history of the brassier, and BTW, here’s another example of why you can’t always believe what you hear, whether in the backseat of a car or otherwise
.). And as for Crabbe, well that’s pretty close to “crabby,” which might characterize some attitudes within the feminist movement, but then again, the stakes are high, just witness some attitudes about the Judge Roberts nomination
. (Is it just us, or does Judge Roberts look just a tad extraterrestrial
? Guess it would fit with the Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon theme.)
Okay, for those of you ODDones who have really been paying attention, we have a great ODDassociation in that yesterday we reported the death of Gordon Gould, inventor of the laser. Here’s what he said about ol’Flash
(and we assume Buck.) Ain’t life strange.
Well, we think we’ve gotten our ODDselves in enough trouble for today. We close with a quote from Dale Arden of Flash Gordon fame, Flash, I love you! But we only have 14 hours to save the Earth!
