Why always Mango Tango, never Mango Fandango?
So i'm really into the whole switching letters around thing lately. The natural place to go with this is the title of this blog, which i've already subjected to no end of twists and tweaks and unwarranted freaks. If you switch around the letters that you'd usually switch in a situation like this, you get "Deak up your Fray." The only problem is, the word "deak" doesn't exist outside of the movie "The Mighty Ducks," in a scene everyone in my generation remembers seeing several times throughout their childhood. This movie signified the peak of the genre of children's sports movie with a 20-minute-slow-motion-penalty-shot-scene as the climax (a genre largely ignored by critics and people with taste alike). Anyway, the scene everyone remembers. 1, 2, 3, triple deke. I guess that's the only option as far as definitions of my newly composed word.
Fray, on the other hand, very definitely exists and has attended several of my parties. Needless to say, it showed up just when things were getting out of hand. I never knew what to do about until now. But now, oh man, let me tell you. Now i can simply take the advice of my spoonerized blog title: calm the fray by busting out the ol' hockey equipment and faking out the goalie in slow motion. You, too, can use this technique the next time you get all up in some type of fray.
So, um... i guess that's it for today. Have a dunderful way.
