Mixing Metaphors - A Little Drabble Do Ya

“Who was that?”

“Hmmm…? Oh, Rhonda Fleming.”

“Okay, and where did she come from?”

“Why all the questions?”

The two men exchanged looks that said there was territory involved.

“Sorry, I thought I knew her.”

“No you didn’t, you thought you could have her.  There is a distinct difference.”

Napoleon smirked at his blond partner, he hated losing women to the Russian.  He was still trying to understand how that even happened.

“So, are you two dating? That’s like offering her a Russian winter.“

“You’re attempt at metaphors is commendable, but inaccurate.  I am more like a warm Russian summer.”

Very nice. I wonder, are you referring to the very curvaceous Hollywood sex siren of the same name. If so, no wonder Napoleon is jealous.

OHG! I kept thinking the name sounded familiar but couldn't figure from where :D Oh well, not the same woman but obviously the same appeal ;)

Rhonda Fleming the 1950s actress? [blink]

[carabele.livejournal.com]

Oh, see you already answered that question. [chuckle]

And here's the lady in question:

I may have to change her name. wow, are we the last generation who even knows who she is?

[carabele.livejournal.com]

wow, are we the last generation who even knows who she is?

Possibly. She really was never what would be considered a real "A-List" star, but she was popular.

I remember her from seeing movies on TV when I was a kid like "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" and "Yankee Pasha".

Nice to see the blond gets the girl for a change. (and I'm too young to know who Rhonda Fleming was.)

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

It's okay, it isn't her. Yes, Illya gets the girl more than we know I think.

[carabele.livejournal.com]

It's okay, it isn't her.

Yes, but think how interesting a tale it might be for the Russian if it was her... [wink] She'd be about 10 years older than Illya (going by the birthdate on her screen bio), but that's not a wild margin of difference.

Not at all, and it is intriguing. Having Napoleon on the sidelines wondering about it all is priceless...

Very nice. Especially the punch line.

I also do like losing women to the Russian. He was still trying to understand how that even happened.

I think Napoleon is always a little flummoxed when the women choose Illya. Thanks :D

Hey your name choice is really prompting a nice conversation. I agree with Carabele, imagine if it really was the real Rhonda Fleming. Wow for IK, and NS would be...bewildered.
