Drill is a Man's Romance!

Hey guys~! I'm back! This time, I'm not gonna post a meme ( Since my teacher was practically begging for me not to strain her eyes with my memes anymore, I'm so sorry Miss!!! T_T) Now, I'm gonna fulfill my promise to write about what Konata-san ( She is eating a choco cornet beside this paragraph, and she's from the anime 'Lucky Star', by the way ) said in my last post.

"Drill is a man's romance!"

So in one episode, she was having a conversation about going to the dentist with her friends. Since Konata-san has never visited a dentist before in her life ( Konata-san is seventeen years old... And yes, I was also taken aback by this ) and is also an avid otaku like me ( Otaku is an anime and manga maniac ), she pictured the description of a dentist's office in an extraordinary way. In something only thinkable by otakus.

Miyuki ( A NORMAL friend of hers ): There's that hospital smell or the nerve-wracking wait.
Tsukasa ( Another NORMAL friend of hers ) : Ooh! Ooh! And the sound of the drill gets me every time!
Konata: ( Imagines a giant robot wearing a dentist robe with drills as arms... ) Change getter! ( It's an anime reference)


Tsukasa: It's terrifying!
Konata: But guys probably like to go to the dentist's, right?
Tsukasa: Why?
Konata: Aren't drills like a man's romance? ( Another footage of the robot, drilling another robot ) Dinosaur empire! ( Gets excited) I've heard they love it when robots fight using drills!
( Silence ensues. Miscommunication has apparently been done)
Tsukasa: But they probably don't like having their teeth drilled. I've been wondering, aren't the receptionists and assistants usually pretty ladies?
Miyuki: Now that you mention it, it seems that way...
Konata: Wonder why...
Miyuki: Perhaps it's one of their hiring criteria.
Konata: Exclusively beautiful assistants and drills huh? ( And she starts to picture everything together...)

Then the dentist robot appeared out of nowhere, flashing its grinding drills. A cute and lovely nurse is next, giving a flirtatious wink to the audience with a giant syringe in her hands ( OH boy... ), and a giant airship that you only see in sci-fi movies appeared in the background.




Miyuki: That does indeed sound like something geared towards the males.

I can't help but notice that action movies have those three main elements in them. The first one is a protagonist with a cool weapon ( Thor has his all-mighty hammer Mjollnir, and Green Lantern has a ring. ),the second one is the hot chicks ( Every generation of Bond girls , and let's not forget the voluptuous Megan Fox in 'Transformers'), and the last one the out of this world concepts with a predictable happy ending ( Oh My God! I'm a superhero or an one-eyed mutant! I can't believe it! I have to save the whole world! And I saved it! Yay! ). But I wonder why guys love action movies so much ( drills -- or violence, is man's romance after all! ). I mean, I understand about the gorgeous vixens ( They grant the male audience a certain type of... Pleasure ) and the story line stuff ( Because if guys tear up watching action movies, they'll be considered weaklings. And boys generally are easy at tearing up.), but what's so pleasurable about the violence part? Yes, I'm a girl and I know it's not my place to ask this but I'm pretty curious about this. I don't feel any kind of joy at all when I watch a random guy punches another random guy's jaw. And I am also a self-proclaimed and widely-acknowledged tomboy, since I'm pretty sure I am born half-man. So, any guys who care to answer this for me?

So, the next post will either be something not related to this quote, or something that's related to this quote:

"You don't have to put it in words. Words are imperfect; putting it in words will just create misunderstandings. Words are the root of misunderstandings."
- Nagi Sanzenin, from Hayate the Combat Butler!













Or a competing quote:

“I know everyone has their stories of pain and sadness, or things that they don’t want to bring up. But if you can’t be a good friend without telling that, then I don’t need any friends at all!”
- Mion Sonozaki from When Cicadas Cry



Well then, ja~! (Bye~!)
