Yep, this is my blog about the novelization of the movie Tron. What do y'all think?

On Preview: Me too, shane. Me too.

Shane beat me to it. My format was going to be tagline-style:

I'm very confused.

Ah, Tron. I can remember my friends and I making Tron noises while riding our bikes.

Remember when Glo Sticks first came out? They were called Cyalume Light Sticks and they were marketed as a way to stay safe on Halloween. They only came in green, but they still seemed so Tronny.

dano: This entry A Note on The Methodology might help you out.

jrossi4r: I remember going to Six Flags when I was a kid and there were Glo Sticks everywhere... Glo Necklaces, too. Very Tronny.

I later cut open one of those Glo Necklaces to poke at the goop inside. Probably took ten years off my life.

Yeah. You're a dead man, Fuzzy Monster. It's much safer to Tron yourself up by smushing a lightning bug and smearing the guts on you. It's organic!

*looks up from smearing glowing poisonous jellyfish across chest*

What? Lightning bugs, you say?

Is this something you would have had to watch Tron to understand?

Absolutely not, deborah. Nor would you need to read the novelization of Tron. See my above link 'A Note on the Methodology' for further explanation.


As An Aside: I was just on the Queen St. Streetcar here in Toronto and I caught a glimpse of a city worker with 'Toronto' stenciled on his shirt. My Tron-addled mind read this as 'Trononto.'

Should 'Toronto' change its name to 'Trononto?' Perhaps a letter-writing campaign is in order.

Damn those brain-sucking women! || Have you seen "Rate My Bunny" before?
