Hopefully most of you will remember the toys and cartoon called "Masters of the Universe," also referred to by some as "He-Man" - which I might add is one of the manliest names I know, more so than Dexter Manley, more so than George Strait. But I digress.
Anyway, thez0rk revealed that when he was a small boy, he watched Masters of the Universe in the morning at a babysitter's house. Apparently, the babysitter was really bothered by the name Masters of the Universe because of her religious devotion. I remember thez0rk performing the scene with a contempt in his voice, "The Lord is my Master of the Universe." The tale of childhood trauma was quite funny to me in a way that it only can be if you weren't there yourself.
thez0rk then offered a final nugget of goodness. Apparently when the babysitter's boys wanted to watch the show, she would allow it, but only by first asking them, "Okay, but who is the real Master of the Universe?" The boys would shyly point up to the sky to where God is.
Quality stuff!
