Fanderson - On This Day - August 1st

The Thunderbirds Blu-Ray is coming out today at midday! Woohoo! And while we're on the subject, I have something to tell you about a certain-
"Aqua Mariiiiii-"
SHUT UP! Anyway, the episode of Stingray where Marina cries over Troy Tempest's sudden coma and Atlanta bawls furiously over the same said coma, 'The Master Plan', aired on this day in different countries - the UK and Canada. Can you tell the difference? Click the link to find out.

The Egyptian Princess: An Essay

Moses does not exist in this ancient Egyptian world anymore, but Thunderbirds characters do - and so do I.

Floating down the river in my little straw basket, it avoids raging tides and greedy hippos before it gets picked up - by a pair of kind and gentle hands. It's Lady Penelope, the kindest and most gentle Egyptian queen in the world. She takes me back to the palace to show the kind Pharaoh, Jeff Tracy. In his family are Scott, Virgil, Gordon, Parker, Tin Tin, Kyrano, Brains and of course the palace kitchen cook Grandma. Jeff observes me gently, then takes me over to a little bowl full of holy water. He anoints me and declares me to be a true part of his royal family.

Throughout the years, I play and grow under the care of the king and queen, totally oblivious to the slavery going on in the outside world. Brains, Alan and Tin Tin think of me as their sister, while Scott, Virgil and Gordon constantly chase me out of the kingdom and trample me over using their Thunderbird carriages - 1, 2 and 3 - and their big, strong stallion-like horses. When this happens, Queen Penelope would find me lying on the sand covered in bruises and blood stains, and she would take me back to the palace doctor Kyrano for some gentle, soft nursing. Everyone loves me there, and soon I would grow up to lead the Pharaoh's people to the promised land, with the promise of milk and honey.
