A: Head on over to The Recommenders to tell us what you’re hyped about in upcoming books, movies or shows in the month of May – and get a quick run-down of what we’re looking forward to, as well!
D: What is this we, stuff A? Your plebeian list certainly isn’t what I’m hyped about.
A: I’m going to regret this, but what, pray tell, are you hyped about? And why are you italicizing “hyped?”
D: Hype: Noun – propaganda, excitement, flimflam. Flimflam, A. Flimflam.
A: I think you just like the word flimflam. And I don’t blame you.
D: No, it’s a sham, that’s what it is.
A: A flimflam sham?
D: A . . .
A: Or how about a yam-sham?
D: You are not going to Buffy your way out of this one, A.
A: Oh, yes I am – because I already won. Yam-sham it is. So, what are you yam-shamed about?
D: I hate you.
A: No you don’t. Come on. What are you excited about?
D: Fine. I’m quite pleased that I shall be visiting with – and congratulating – Abd-al-Rahman. He was proclaimed emir of Cordoba, Spain today. I’m so excited for him. He’s been challenging the local rulers for some time now, and I want to give him some encouragement – unifying the fiefdoms is going to take some time, but it’ll be worth it, in the end.
(Long pause. Stares at the Druid. Druid casually checks nails for dirt. A swears she can see a smile winking at the edges of that ridiculously smug face. A huffs and grabs her phone to research.)
A: Um, D – we’re hyped for things happening in this year – not in 756!!
D: Time is relative, my dear A.
A: . . . Fine. Give Abd-al-Rahman my regards.
D: I shall do that.
A: And everyone else who lives in the 21st century, check out the post at The Recommenders, and add your two cents!
Hey, Katie. So nice to see you. Heading over there.
