higan [Jertiza & Pelleas]

starter for @pirrhyc

There’s been word of crumbling ruins, remnants of an old town and its gravesite becoming overgrown with strange greenery. Beautiful though its blooms may be, superstition and old maid’s tales have painted it as a beautifully haunting omen for a disaster to come. To that effect, the neighboring villages are too afraid to venture and clear it up, avoiding any and all routes that might cross it, and so have pleaded for aid from every passerby willing to help. As you enter the mouth of the ruins to dispel their needless fears, however, you find that these are no mere ruins. The vines close the entryway from which you came, and, looking ahead, you find that the ruins are, in fact, a huge maze. To make matters worse, the vines that now prevent you from leaving don’t seem to be content to stop there. All around you, the labyrinth shifts and changes; the walls move, the plants snake and snap. You and your companion must hack and cut your way through and find a way out, lest you intend to bury yourselves in a grave that never needs to beg for flowers. [Grants Sword +1]

The ruins had been an eyesore. Rats darted between the crumbling houses, tangled weeds clambered over one another for the sunlight that baked the dusty earth, flower heads brown and balding. The pyres in the square still hid the bones of disease, for which the village had been abandoned decades ago, and the ghosts of the lost still roamed the streets restlessly when the moon was full. So the rumors went. But it was easier to carve a half-circle out of a journey around the village than to clean away the stories and the decay in which they had rooted.

The village was in a territory northeast of House Bartels. Jeritza had heard the stories growing up, but he supposed Fódlan had at least a dozen other villages that had grown into local legends over the years. When Mercedes left, so did his interest in the ghosts, and the stories faded away with the rest of his patchwork memories. It could have very well been wiped from history, for all he cared. For the villagers who lived in the area though, the stories grew and mutated until it was not simply a folk tale, but the portent of an untold disaster.

“Something is happening to Laagven...”

A middle-aged woman had grabbed Jeritza by the wrist when he set down a coin for his meal in a tavern a half a day away from the ruins, and held him desperately even when he recoiled at her touch.

“Please. You’re a knight. Please.”

Perhaps it was the name he had thought lost to memory, the reminder of stories by the hearth with his sister, or the resolution in the woman’s grey-blue eyes that made him think of his mother that convinced Jeritza to listen to the tale again, but he stayed long enough to hear her out. The story didn’t match what he remembered of it, but few things did these days, and the woman trembled as she recited a tale of a man and his friends who had ventured into the old village. Only one of them had made it back home, but he had collapsed within hours, foam and flowers as red as blood spilling from his mouth. The others - her husband among them - were written off as dead, too. Something had to be done, if not to save the lost, then to put the ruins to rest.

Jeritza had finished his last mission early, and loath to return to swinging mindlessly at straw effigies in the monastery, agreed to investigate on the woman’s behalf. Death did not scare him. He had nothing to lose.

The dusty ghost town of the old stories was buried deep beneath vibrant green leaves, snaking vines, and spidery, crimson blooms by now. Were that itself not so out of place, Jeritza might have passed the ruins in search of a memory that no longer existed. He drew his blade resolutely and cleaved a way through the thorns and branches, but like a wound healed by magic, the vines stitched shut behind him. Gloved fingers tightened around the hilt as he assessed the entranceway now once more overgrown. If cutting could get him through, then cutting would get him out again too. He set his eyes on the path ahead.

Birds didn’t sing here. That was the first thing Jeritza noticed as he walked, accompanied only by the sound of dried leaves underfoot. The second was that the flora was so dense in some places that it appeared to form nearly entire walls of flowers. But beyond that, he saw no sign of the missing men until he rounded a corner and nearly collided with one crouched by a row of multicolored blooms. He stepped back quickly, drawing a hunting knife from his belt and holding it in front with his left hand.

“Are you...” He scraped his memory for the name of the village he had just left. “... from Lockwood?”

A Reunion Most Peculiar || Leonardo & Kurthnaga

@goldoandragonprince ; Any Skill +1

Leonardo has already heard prior to his arrival, that Lord Kurthnaga had scored himself a teaching position at the Academy, and he cannot help but find his interest piqued. To go from total isolation of his whole kind from the rest of the world, to sharing his knowledge and experience with the young generation of upcoming beorc knights, warriors and leaders - Leonardo had heard that the Dragon Prince intended to open Goldoa up to the rest of the world, and it would seem that he has chosen to do so in quite the... extreme way.

But of course, if it works, it works. Leonardo is certain the decision was well thought out and planned for.

What also makes him curious is seeing how well the laguz (whom, quite frankly, the archer is not sure whether he should call Your Majesty or Professor) has been mastering the art of beorc weaponry; a chance that, as it would seem, Leonardo will have soon, seeing him as his sparring partner for Sir Lanton’s event.

“Sire. Good morning,” he greets him with a light smile, opting for something kind of in between the two titles he had been considering. Honestly he is not even sure if Kurthnaga will recognize him; sure, they traveled together for a while, but it is not as though he was significant or anything.

In his hand is a light rapier, a weapon more suited for fencing than anything else, really; as befits a training weapon, the tip is dull, unlikely to do any harm even if the wielder were to seriously try.

“It looks like we’re up against each other today. What do you have?”

#goldoandragonprince #【 thread ⁎ a reunion most peculiar 】#【 i have my orders ⁎ ic 】#【 mission season ⁎ anniversary 2022 】#【 +1 sword 】#【 this is some heavy legacy your father has left behind; have faith in tomorrow ⁎ support: kurthnaga 】

Fate’s Sense of Humor [Julius & Seliph]

starter for @virtuoustyrfing

The Academy is always hard at work inventing new and extraordinary methods of helping its pupils find their true potential. One day, an announcement appears on the board, inviting all those interested in discovering something new about themselves to Lieutenant Lanton’s Loose Lottery. The idea is simple: Lieutenant Lanton hands you a weapon and puts you in front of another participant for you to spar with. The catch? You receive the first item he happened to grab and have to work with it, no matter what it is. No second chances! [Grants Any Skill +1]

“You can not be serious.” Julius held out the battered pole the upright Lieutenant Lanton had handed him after he called his name to the center of the training hall, and watched the way the musty, faded cloth scraps of the mophead droop languidly at the other end. Their instructor regarded him with one raised brow, but the snickers and grins of the spectating students interested in seeing what this “lottery” was all about never reached his tightly drawn mouth nor his eyes, which were as hard and black as coal. He was serious. His face said that well enough. Nevertheless, Julius issued his challenge with a stare as if willing sparks to fly between them.

“This is a training exercise, my young pupil,” the man said at last, though the lines of age carved into his face looked even deeper and darker when he spoke. A joke is what it was, Julius thought, glowering, but Lieutenant Lanton was unflappable.

“If you find yourself unarmed in battle, knowing how to use what you have at your disposal - however unconventional it may be - could save your life.” He nodded toward the mop and Julius looked at it again. He couldn’t imagine a world where a cleaning tool was his only option, not when he could conjure flames from thin air, but he conceded with a huff and let the mophead drop downward, the back end of the pole now against the underside of his forearm. This obviously was to be a lesson for the others watching. Or entertainment. Julius threw his scowl to his opponent at the other end of the hall to avoid making eye contact with the grinning students waiting for a show.

Seliph had been called alongside his own name, and even now his blood ran cold with the memory of his final moments in Belhalla. The gleam of a blade and the pressure of a god that had stirred up a deep, primal fear Julius had never known he had. He could have even called it desperation - the need to survive. Nevertheless, the root of that fear had been severed, but his half-brother reminded him of its flowers still withering in the back of his mind. His knuckles turned white around the mop’s pole.

“So much for a rematch,” he called out sardonically to ease his own nerves. Lieutenant Lanton made his slow and deliberate walk back to the large box at the base of one of the room’s many columns where he had first retrieved Julius’ new weapon and began to sift through its mysterious contents. After a moment, he withdrew a rotting log speckled with mushrooms. Julius couldn’t suppress his bewildered sneer.

“And this one will be yours,” said Lieutenant Lanton, and carried the unconventional weapon to Seliph’s side.

Special Edition Magazine Commemorates 80th Anniversary of The Black Sheep Squadron

January 4, 2024 Vintage Aviation News Articles, Press Releases 0

United Fuel Cells

Gregory ‘Pappy’ Boyington was a Marine Corps fighter pilot and the commanding officer of the VMF-214 Black Sheep Squadron in the Pacific during World War II. Boyington was a leading flying ace, Prisoner of War, and a recipient of both the Navy Cross and Medal of Honor.

Probably one of the most famous photos Col Greg ‘Pappy’ Boyington (Photo by Mike Schneider Collection)

Boyington’s Black Sheep VMF-214 began in 1943, so this is the reason for the 80th Anniversary. VMF-214 Swashbucklers was in existence before Boyington took over the squadron number with a new group of pilots. The Swashbucklers had been in combat operations and just lost their commanding officer, and while they were out on R&R, higher command decided they needed more squadrons in the fight, right about the time that Boyington was lobbying to get a squadron. So, on paper the command of VMF-214 was given to Boyington, he collected from the the replacement pool a nucleus of pilots and also added new pilots to start their “VMF-214, and they came up with a new moniker, the Black Sheep.

The U.S. Marine Corps’ Black Sheep squadron has served the nation continuously for 80 years. A new special edition magazine commemorates the milestone and their legacy.

“The WWII Black Sheep were among the most effective combat units and their achievements made them legendary,” said Kevin Gonzalez, the magazine’s creator. “An ace is a military aviator credited with downing five or more enemy aircraft during aerial combat, and there were nine Black Sheep pilots who became aces.”

Boyington – Black Sheep Leader is a special edition magazine that features historical articles, archival photographs, and original graphic novel art. A special art section includes a depiction of Pappy’s last dogfight, when he and his wingman Captain George Ashmun, were both shot down during a strike mission over Rabaul. Boyington survived the dogfight and was captured at sea by the crew of a Japanese submarine. He was never officially reported as a prisoner by the Japanese and was secretly held prisoner for 30 months. Eventually, he found his path to military aviation through an aviation cadet program, which then led to the Marine Corps Reserve in 1937 and flight training at Naval Air Station Pensacola.

Boyington was allowed to leave the Marines to join the American Volunteer Group, also known as the Flying Tigers, where he gained combat experience flying against the Japanese. After the U.S. entered WWII, he returned rejoin to the USMC. He wrote about his experiences in his best-selling book BAA BAA BLACK SHEEP, published in 1958, which later became the basis for a popular NBC television series for two seasons in the 1970s.

Ezoic

Colonel Gregory Pappy Boyington died on Jan. 11, 1988, in Fresno, Calif., and was buried at Arlington National Cemetery. In 2007, the local airport added the commemorative name Coeur d’Alene Airport/Pappy Boyington Field. In 2019, Boyington was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame.

The modern-day Black Sheep continues the squadron’s legacy. Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 214 (VMFA-214) is stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma and flies the F-35 B Lightning II, the Marine Corps variant of the Joint Strike Fighter, manufactured by Lockheed Martin.

On March 25, 2022, the squadron was redesignated as Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 214 (VMFA-214) as it began accepting new F-35B Lightning II aircraft from the Lockheed Martin factory in Fort Worth, Texas

“Many of the graphic artists who contributed to this project are military veterans,” said Gonzalez. “It’s exciting to see their artwork on the pages of this magazine.”

Boyington – Black Sheep Leader is a special edition magazine from the creator of the Pappy Boyington Field documentary film. More information about Boyington at the website: PappyBoyingtonField.com

Rewrite vs. Canon: Power Rangers series (Mighty Morphin' to Dino Fury)?

Note: If you can't do every PR season, that's fine. I understand and respect your decision. I recently discovered this trend from your ask posts from 2022, and I know it's currently 2023 at this point in time, but I thought of giving this trend a try; hell, maybe I might do this trend as well when I get the chance with my own rewrites).

P.S. Sorry about the long post from my last ask to you. I'll be more mindful of how long my ask posts are from now on.

Well it's basically my OCs inserted in the plot but here's a general rundown (im only going to Dino Charge because that's the last show I watched in full)

Maria and Bianca are african american twins, the former becoming mmpr purple and the latter being the school journalist

Originally maria was only going to be MMPR to Turbo 2nd half but I decided to keep her as Turbo Purple and have both her and Bianca travel to space with Maria becoming Space Violet. Bianca becomes a mission control for the team.

After Space ends, Maria and Bianca takes a long hiatus giving way for a new protagonist: Maggie Phenomenous.

Maggie is the Purple Space Ranger with Ice&Snow element. The twist is she didn't want to become a Ranger and felt it intruded on her civilian ofc she grows out of it & becomes less cold

After Galaxy, Maggie is given a job working for Lightspeed Rescue and befriends that series Purple Ranger; Alya Moon. Alya is a supernatural expert (she was gonna be a cop but I'm acab).

After Lightspeed, Alya learns of paranormal activity in another city which turns about to be time travel setting off the events of Time Force. There she meets the rowdy heiress Wendy Collins.

Wendy becomes that series' purple ranger and undergoes an arc about taking responsibility. She also has a romantic arc with Eric Meyers. I thought about making her Quantum Pink as a foil for Jen.

After Time Force, Wendy moves to a beach city (lol) and becomes involved with the events of Ninja Storm. Introduced to Alli Velasquez, the Ninja Storm Pink Ranger of Fire.

After Ninja Storm Alli gets a job as a teaching assistant at a local high school. At the same time, Rosalyn is starting her freshman year and becomes Dino Thunder Pink. Tommy already knows who Alli is.

After that we go to 2025 where the daughter of Maria is a Ranger for SPD. Her name is Amethyst "Amie" Lee Scott. A big change is Isinia: rather than being a plot device she's an actual character and formerly a Ranger herself but was captured by the bad guys. In the finale she stages a breakout & reunites with Doggie.

Back to 2005 we're introduced to the Triple Threat: Opalina, Octavia, and Olivia. Opalina is the Mystic Force Black Ranger and her power is gemstones. She's a stage magician who becomes a real one.

Overdrive gets a major OVERHAUL and becomes a legitimate adventure series also the Rangers don't quit when they lose their powers. Since it's meant to be an anniversary season we get updates to what the previous Rangers are doing including a Family Reunion. Octavia is the Purple Ranger and she doesn't have powers.

Olivia is the last triplet and a skilled martial artist. So impressed RJ offers her a spot on the team; later she becomes the pink ranger.

RPM has Mavis as the Pink Ranger.

Samurai is more cohesive in terms of lore: Jayden and Lauren's mother married a Japanese businessman who is also the leader of the Shiba Clan, making them explicitly adopted. But because of an injury Mr. Shiba is out of action leaving Lauren to step up to take care ot business duties while Jayden does all the demon hunting.

Silvia is that season's purple ranger of ice and snow bc i found out Antonio's powers are gold/metal based. Her arc is learning to make new friends after she moves away.

After, we go to Bobbi, a high school student and Silvia's friend from her old hometown. Bobbie becomes the season's Purple Ranger (Mega and Super Mega). Maria and Bianca makes their big return; Maggie and Leo are married and so is Wendy and Eric. poor Amie is forced to halt her wedding plans to go back in time to help her family. The series ends with Amie and Sky getting married in the present (well 2014)

After that, Maria gets a job at a dinosaur museum and gets involved in the Dino Charge season as a mentor for her younger cousin Frieda. She adjusts to being the Yellow Ranger. Cuz I don't know how you're gonna have a PR season and exclude one of the primary colors 🤔

&&. ◜ tw: none ◞ % … 🦋 › OCTAVIA are an active , eight piece girl group that debuted back in march of 2008 . they were the first ever group to come out of evergreen , reaching great success early on which solidified their spot as one of the top 2nd generation girl groups within the idol industry . the group is mainly recognized for their pop music that constantly goes viral during the summer due to fitting the season best &&. for the girls being featured throughout the entertainment and music industry as well-received actresses , producers , choreographers , models , and more . their reputation remained spotless and pristine for years up until the departure of kyungri in 2015 just shortly after promoting her debut solo ep . fans speculated that the company always wanted to make her go solo at some point since 2013 after she started being absent from group activities to focus more on her individual work . it became even more prevalent when rumors began circulating that the group would be facing possible disbandment or that none of the members re-signed their contracts just 3 months after the event . evergreen were quick to dismiss the news but did confirm that the girls would be going on a short hiatus so they could work more on their solo activities . the messy aftermath of kyungri’s departure was peak entertainment for fans as angela was seen rolling her eyes at kyungri’s screen time during an interview , yujin jokingly saying they were always 7 when on vlive for their anniversary , and the group looking disinterested during the former member’s performance at mama with eunmi and mina even laughing . this led to fans thinking that her departure held more meaning than they thought which was slightly confirmed by angela after participating on lee youngji’s drinking show in 2022 where she stated that no one was surprised when it happened , just shocked that it did .

Manhattan Theatre Club

Announces Full Casting for the

New York Premiere of

Poor Yella Rednecks

By Qui Nguyen

Directed by May Adrales

Previews begin Tuesday, October 10, 2023

Opening on Wednesday, November 1, 2023

At MTC at New York City Center – Stage I

Lynne Meadow (Artistic Director) and Chris Jennings (Executive Director) are pleased to announce the full cast for the New York Premiere of Poor Yella Rednecks, written by Qui Nguyen (Vietgone) and directed by May Adrales (Vietgone, Golden Shield). Poor Yella Rednecks will begin previews on Tuesday, October 10 and open on Wednesday, November 1, 2023 at New York City Center – Stage I (131 West 55th Street).

The cast of Poor Yella Rednecks will feature Jon Hoche (Vietgone, Life of Pi), Ben Levin (Vietgone, “Kung Fu”), Samantha Quan (Vietgone), Jon Norman Schneider (The Coast Starlight), Maureen Sebastian (The Best We Could: A Family Tragedy), and Paco Tolson (Vietgone).

The creative team for Poor Yella Rednecks includes Tim Mackabee (Scenic Design), Valérie Thérèse Bart (Costume Design), Lap Chi Chu (Lighting Design), Shane Rettig (Original Music & Sound Design), Jared Mezzocchi (Projection Design), David Valentine (Puppet Design), Kenny Seymour (Arrangements), and Alyssa K. Howard (Production Stage Manager).

Qui Nguyen, the wildly inventive playwright (and screenwriter for Marvel and Disney) known for his use of pop culture, pop music and puppetry, reunites with his frequent director, May Adrales, for this funny, sexy and brash new play. A young Vietnamese family attempts to put down roots in Arkansas, a place as different from home as it gets. A mom and dad balance big hopes and low-wage jobs, as old flings threaten to pull them apart. It all makes for a bumpy road to the American dream. From the world of Nguyen’s Vietgone, with its comic book and action movie influences, comes a play that melds a deeply personal story with the playwright’s trademark, killer humor. The New York Times hails the writer’s work as “culturally savvy comedy,” and this production shows you why.

Poor Yella Rednecks is co-commissioned by South Coast Repertory and Manhattan Theatre Club. Support for MTC’s production of Poor Yella Rednecks is provided by the Howard Gilman Foundation and Laurents/Hatcher Foundation. Developed in part in Center Theatre Group’s Writers’ Workshop.

My #1 post of 2022

Halloween 2022 Election Fight

Comtraya and Tek'ma'tek, y'all! I know we said that, come September, we would restart the twice a week showing, and bring back SGA and SGU. However, since our anniversary is coming up again, we decided to implement those changes after that.

Regarding the Anniversary viewing on Sunday 30st of October: Last year we announced that for our Anniversary viewing on Halloween, we will be starting to show two spoopy episode, with one being SGA's Whispers as per tradition, and the other episode being another spooky SGA, SG1 or SGU episode. Please reply to this post with the number of the episode in the list. The one with the most votes wins and will be shown on our Anniversary Viewing this year together with Whispers.

Here's the list of spooky episodes to choose from: (SG-1 4x20 Entity was excluded since we watched it last year; SG-1 S05E08 The Tomb as well as S09E17 The Scourge removed in case people can’t deal with creepy critters)

1. Atlantis Season 4 Episode 4: Doppelganger During an off-world mission Colonel Sheppard unknowingly becomes host to an alien entity, which infects others in Atlantis and afflicts them with terrifying nightmares. (Clowns in boats)

2. SG-1 Season 3 Episode 4: Legacy When Daniel goes insane, SG-1 must deal with the legacy of Machello's anti-Goa'uld technology. (mental health care)

3. Atlantis Season 2 Episode 7: Instinct The team discovers a young Wraith girl who has been raised by a human, and is in hiding from the people of her human village in fear of her life. (Can a scorpion change its spots?)

4. Atlantis Season 3 Episode 9: Phantoms Sheppard and Ronon are influenced by a mind-altering device created by the Wraith while on a mission to rescue a lost team. (Trust no one)

5. Universe Season 1 Episode 17: Pain Dr. Tamara Johansen tries to track down what is causing the crew to hallucinate. (pain)

6. SG-1 Season 9 Episode 3: Origin Daniel comes face to face with the Ori, a fiery race of beings who demand the worship of mortals. Elsewhere, Stargate Command encounters the first Ori missionary in our galaxy. (Religion)

7. SG-1 Season 4 Episode 1: Small Victories O'Neill and Teal'c risk their lives to keep the Replicator bugs from gaining a foothold on Earth, while Carter helps the Asgard fend off a Replicator invasion. (Robospooders)

to recap: just put the number of the episode you want to see together with Whispers in the replies

Voting possible until October 27th!

Warning I May Start Talking About Mavericks At Any Time Shirt

In terms of skills it depends what position they are moving from and to, but I think a season of training with a pro side and some regional amateur rugby games in the lower leagues followed by 1-2 seasons playing below the top flight would be required, if they had the right attributes to reach the top flight. It could be 2 years in total for a winger, or 4 for a more involved position with higher technical and tactical requirements. A player with exceptional physical attributes like being able to run a sub-11 second 100m at 275lbs and a lethal side-step or being fit at 300lbs and immensely strong and Warning I May Start Talking About Mavericks At Any Time Shirt explosive might make it earlier as their attacking threat with the ball in hand would do more to cancel out their shortcomings than a more physcially average player.

“Tagline” Podcast: When The Ad Becomes More Than Just An Ad

Advertisements are everywhere. The football halftime show has an ad sponsor like an insurance company or a sub fast food franchise. Above the urinal in the men’s room has an ad for a sports betting company. Watching a ten-second clip on YouTube often means watching a fifteen-second ad first. Even movies and V shows have carefully placed product placements, like an Apple Mac computer used by the true-crime podcaster.

Consumers pay extra money for streaming or podcast subscriptions to avoid advertisements. Let’s face it. We are exhausted by ads.

Now here’s the truly weird part. It’s Super Bowl time and people buzz around talking about what? Super Bowl ads! What was the best ever? Joe Greene with the little kid and the jersey? The Budweiser Clydesdale ads? There’s even an annual TV show about Super Bowl commercials.

So consumers have a true love/hate relationship with advertisements. We find them endlessly annoying and not relevant to our buying needs, but we enjoy the hell out of a creative ad campaign.

And, those ads that do catch our attention, affect our purchasing habits, even though we refuse to admit it.

So it’s natural that a podcast about the best ads would cause many listeners to shrug their shoulders in a body movement that announces, “who cares.”

But the Tagline podcast has discovered that sweet spot between love and hate, as the show is all about the making of great ads.

Tagline is a production of Muse by Clio, the content division of the Clio Awards. Founded in 1959 to honor excellence in advertising, the Clio Awards “celebrates bold work that propels the advertising industry forward, inspires a competitive marketplace of ideas and fosters meaningful connections within the creative community.”

Annually, the Clio Awards brings together leading creative talent for an exclusive and collaborative judging experience to select the entries that will win the coveted Grand, Gold, Silver and Bronze Clio statues.

If you’re interested, here are the 2022 Clio Award winners.

So 2019 was the 60th anniversary of the Clio Awards, and somebody must have said aloud, “Hey, how about if we develop a podcast about great ads. Its mission will be the same as the Clio Awards. Recognize great ads.”

By February 2021, the Tagline podcast launched its first season and first episode. After a trailer in February, the podcast’s first episode was about the Dos Equis beer “Most Interesting Man in the World” campaign, which created a lot of buzz, sold a lot of beer and then collapsed due to the actions of its spokesman.

Perhaps, Tagline’s most intriguing episode from my perspective was the May 24, 2021, show titled, “We’ll leave the light on for you.”

The Motel 6 ad campaign was everything an ad campaign shouldn’t be. It wasn’t splashy or exciting. It didn’t have expensive development costs. You could even call it bland.

But what it did have was a direct pipeline to the consumers who use a budget motel like Motel 6, and it did have the perfect spokesperson.

In 1986, Tom Bodett was building houses in Homer, Alaska, and contributing to NPR’s All Things Considered. A creative director at the Richards Group ad agency heard him on NPR and hired him to record a commercial for Motel 6. Bodett ad-libbed the famous line “We’ll leave the light on for you” and was the chain’s spokesperson for nearly 30 years.

The director David Fowler hired him because Bodett “sound[ed] like the kind of person who stays there.”[ Fowler said he thought, “Gosh, if I only had an account for a national budget motel brand with a sense of humor and humility, I could make a heck of an advertising campaign with this guy.”

In 2005, Motel 6 began using Bodett for their wake-up calls. The chain hoped to bring a more personal touch to people’s day by using their spokesperson’s voice.Bodett was also featured on the first Motel 6 podcast, released for the holidays.

In November 2015, a new marketing campaign featuring Bodett’s voice premiered, highlighted by TV and radio commercials touting the investment in and renovation of Motel 6 properties nationwide.

Listen To a Motel 6 TV commercial here.

After a successful first season — Tagline was named Adweek’s Marketing Podcast of the Year in 2021 — season two began in February 2022 and just wrapped up in January 2023.

A notable episode among many in season two was the November 14, 2022, show about the origin of Ted Lasso, an immensely popular TV show on Apple TV +, its streaming service.

The show’s notes explain it this way: “Ted Lasso is one of the most beloved shows on TV. But not many people realize the character originated in an ad campaign, a decade ago, for NBC Sports and its Premier League coverage. This week, we look back at Ted’s fascinating origin story: how Jason Sudeikis, the agency Brooklyn Brothers and the London club Tottenham Hotspur collaborated on two hilarious videos that got NBC’s soccer coverage off to a flying start — and set Sudeikis and his team on an unlikely path to Emmy-winning glory.”

Since it’s Super Bowl time, it’s only right that I mention the May 21, 2022, episode called “It’s a Tide Ad.”

From Tagline’s show notes: “How do you hijack all 53 ads in the Super Bowl while buying just 90 seconds of airtime? P&G’s Tide and Saatchi & Saatchi managed that remarkable feat in 2018 with It’s a Tide Ad, one of the most clever and entertaining campaigns ever to run on the game. This week, we learn the backstory, from the idea, to the craft, to the wild experience on game night, to the results — which included one of advertising’s best-ever marriage proposals.”

The show does a tremendous amount of research for each of its episodes and nicely mixes interviews, clips of the commercials, narrative storytelling, and the host’s own observations to juice up each episode.

Clio Awards editor-in-chief and longtime ad critic Tim Nudd is the host of the podcast and performs at a high level on the podcast. Nudd understands narrative storytelling and structures the episodes so that listeners are never sure what’s next in the story. His voice is steady, reassuring, and pleasing.

So even though you may say “I hate ads” after watching back-to-back-to-back commercials on Hulu, the Tagline podcast will fascinate you with its tales of highly successful, creatively superb, and culturally ubiquitous ad campaigns.

If you have time, I recommend you listen to the Motel 6 episode in the first season and the Ted Lasso episode in the second season. In both episodes, you’ll discover spokespeople who intuitively knew how to verbalize the product / service they were selling.

Finally, if you read this article at night, I promise that, “We’ll leave the light on for you.”

Five U.S. Navy jets will fly over in Super Bowl LVII

Jets from three squadrons of U.S. Navy tactical aircraft will perform an integrated overflight at the completion of the National Anthem during Super Bowl LVII at the State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on February 12.

To celebrate the anniversary of the first naval aviators in the U.S. Navy, the NFL invited naval aviators to fly over the field during the performance of country music star Chris Stapleton of the "Star-Spangled Banner" before the start of the game, the league announced this week.

But before the 2022 football season ends in February, when Bengals, Chiefs, 49ers or Eagles will raise the Vice Lombardi trophy, the Super Bowl will have to wait for the Super Hornets, Growlers and Lightning.

The overflight formation will include two F/A-18F Super Hornets from the "Flying Eagles" of the Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 122, an F-35C Lightning II from the "Argonauts" of the VFA-147 and an EA-18G Growler from the "Vikings" of the Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 129. These aircraft represent the attack and electronic attack capability of the "Embedded Air Wing of the Future", providing advanced technology and greater flexibility to our military combating commanders. VFA-122 and VFA-147 are based at Lemoore Air Station (NAS), California; the VAQ-129 is based at NAS Whidbey Island, Washington. The squadrons will prepare and leave from the nearby Luke Air Base.

The overflight also celebrates 50 years of women flying in the U.S. Navy. In 1973, the first eight women began flight school in Pensacola, Florida, and a year later six of these eight women, entitled "The First Six", won their golden wings. Since then, women have served, operated and led at all levels of Naval Aviation.

Naval aviators are prepared to make an overflight in the Super Bowl and the U.S. Navy has created cards with the chosen pilots.

Lieutenant Katie Martinez, Naval Flight Officer assigned to VFA-122, hopes to represent Naval Aviation at one of the most watched events in the world.

"It's not a feeling I can put into words," Martinez said. "It doesn't get bigger than the Super Bowl, and I'm honored to be able to participate with my friends and fellow naval aviators as part of this unique opportunity in life."

The fifth-generation F-35C Lightning II attack fighter integrates advanced stealth technology into a highly agile supersonic aircraft that provides unprecedented awareness, versatility and survival capability on the battlefield. The F-35C, which is the Navy variant of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, sets new standards in the integration of weapon systems, maintenance, combat radius and payload that bring a formidable multi-mission power projection capacity of the sea.

Entering service in the fleet in 1999, the F/A-18 Super Hornet gained reputation as the backbone of the Navy aircraft carrier air wing and a cargo donkey within the fleet, continuing its role as an attack fighter against the advanced threats of the 21st century. Designed to meet the current U.S. Navy escort and interdiction mission requirements, Super Hornet maintains fleet air defense and approximate air support functions, as well as a growing range of missions, including air refueling.

The EA-18G Growler is a variant of the F/A-18 aircraft family that combines the proven Super Hornet platform with a sophisticated electronic warfare set that performs a variety of functions, including communications blocking and countermeasures.
