he said, she said: the power rangers
written by jenni and daroff on 08/01/07

“he said, she said” is where two overtimers from opposite sides of the gender war, daroff (dude) and jenni (lady), duke it out over a few of their favorite things. first, you’ll read their overall feelings on the topic of debate and then an instant messenger (or IM, if you will) conversation as they hash out the finer points. ain’t technology grand?

he said: dudes think the power rangers are fuckin’ sweet

she said: ladies think the power rangers are fuckin’ sweet

daroff:
i had a crush on the pink ranger, then next thing i know i’m watching the show like every day. then after she left the show, i kept watching
jenni: the pink ranger and the red ranger had a “thing”, didn’t they?
jenni: or was it red and blue? or pink and blue?
jenni: it’s funny that I can only identify them by their colors
daroff: pink and green. then green became evil, then he wasn’t, then he was white, then white loved pink, and pink loved white
jenni: ah…young love
daroff: young, colorful love
jenni: no love for the black ranger though
daroff: he had angela
jenni: WHAT? Someone with a NAME? how can this be?

daroff: she didn’t have a color
daroff: but she was black
jenni: colorless angela
daroff: man, for a show that had giant fighting robots, there was a lot of girly crap
daroff: dates, weddings, singing
jenni: that’s the brilliance of it, wrangle in the ladies with relationship crap
jenni: beat up the monsters for the dudes
daroff: so girls can get made fun of for watching a show about robots, but boys can get made fun of for watching a show with romance
jenni: but in the meantime, dudes are exposed to relationship stuff and ladies are shown they can also kick ass. I think that’s awesome
daroff: the power rangers were all about teaching lessons. like hey let’s learn about fitness, then fight a fitness monster
daroff: or let’s learn about bike safety, then fight a bike monster
daroff: thank god, they didn’t cover STD’s
daroff: do you think pink and green did it?
jenni: with all that adreneline pumpin’ after some hot monster fighting…hell yes they did
daroff: do you think they morphed before fucking? to have adrenaline fueled, super power sex?
daroff: then the dragon zord could give it to the pteradactyl
jenni: this is going to a weird place fast
daroff: then they could fight the STD monster
jenni: i practically dropped my laptop when i read that
jenni: that would have been a good episode. for both boys and girls!
daroff: everybody learns something, and we’re better people because of it
jenni: especially when we learn how to not spread the hiv from kids in colorful body suits
daroff: and they have to defeat the STD monster by wrapping it in a power condom
daroff: which blue built out of transistors he found in his garage
jenni: they should have done an episode on not drunk driving, where yellow gets in a horrible car wreck…
daroff: hahahaha
jenni: …or wait, that happened
daroff: i wasn’t going to talk about racism, but now that we’re here
jenni: (I’m going to hell)
daroff: what if a tolerance specialist came to angel grove, and saw that the black guy was black and the asian was yellow, then she turned into a tolerance monster
jenni: the tolerance monster shoots death rainbows! and when it is defeated, it decides to join the crew as the gay power ranger
daroff: the rainbow ranger?
jenni: brilliant!
daroff: i’m looking up what all the rangers are doing these days
jenni: the yellow ranger really did die. there is something to that urban legend
jenni: you saw the black ranger a while back, didn’t you?
daroff: yes I did. thank you for the trip down trauma lane.
daroff: her imdb bio reads “thuy trang will be missed by many”
daroff: and she was in your favorite movie “the crow: city of angels”
jenni: did the crow bring her back for that? because he wasted his time
daroff: amy jo johnson had some hot gymnastics sex in “without limits” the steve prefontain story
jenni: hope he didn’t give her the hiv
daroff: no, she broke his foot or something
daroff: she’s the only one who really had a career. like in that bullemia made for tv movie where she plays a gymnast with bullemia. holy crap, she was also on saved by the bell: the new class
jenni: as a gymnist? can somebody say “typecast?’
jenni: “look, I’m bendy! cast me as a gymnist!”
daroff: holy holy holy holy holy crap
daroff: the green ranger is in some straight to video thing called “fall guy: the john stewart story” and he plays john stewart
jenni: we must rent the fuck out of that
daroff: we could do a double feature, the bullemia movie and the john stewart movie
daroff: that way pink and green can be together again
jenni: i think it is our duty
daroff: holy crap, it’s on netflix!
jenni: i smell a he said/ she said series coming on “the power ranger files”
daroff: to be continued…
daroff: WE HAVE SPOKEN!
jenni: and now to wait patiently for netflix to send our new found treasures to us
