Confession time humanoids from your humble Poor Devil From Ancon again. Even though I was busy as a bee working on reading my Wordgirl fan fictions instead of watching the Summer Olympic Games from Brazil I read on the internet that the Flying Squirrel as Gabby Douglas is nicknamed by the gymnastic fans made the news that she gasp did not put her hand over her hand over her heart as the Star Spangled Banner was played during the team ceremony.
Okay I confess that I do remember the Batman television series that starred Adam West and Burt Ward even though it was in reruns when Robin would say "Holy scandals Batman."
The Gabby Douglas scandal in my opinion is being blown out of whack since it is evident that Gabby did violate one rule of being a patriot.
The incident that Miss Douglas got in trouble reminds of an incident when former U S figure skater Debra "Debi" Thomas did not gasp shake hands with her figure skating opponent Katarina Witt of the former East Germany.
Again the television station the Commie Broadcasting Network at the 1988 World Figure Skating Championship made Debi the villain for not now bowing down to her opponent in her loss to Witt at the Olympics long skating program in Calgary. Thus her character Debi Isthmus.
Gee whiz television networks in the words of the late actor Burgess Meredith in the Rocky Balboa franchise would tell you journalist "Give her a break."
Now for the Wordgirl angle of this story. The one reason I created the Isthmus Sisters identical twin super hero group was because Wordgirl's run on PBS Kids whenever our preteen hero from Lexicon was in trouble when she battled those nasty villains, who would save her from being taken out of action?
Her adopted father Tim Botsford or a villain like Dr Two Brains who felt sorry for the preteen alien hero or another stranger like the Help Guy would save our hero since her partner monkey Captain Huggyface could only do so much.
Okay since Wordgirl is a Superman parody I do remember that Superman had the services of either Batman, or his cousins Supergirl or Power Girl.
So this poor devil from Ancon came up with the idea that Wordgirl should have identical twins Donna and Debi Isthmus (alias Moreno) who is the surname of former Panamanian beauty queen Iris Avila, they would join her team to save the day.
Donna is named in memory of disco diva Donna Summer who caught flak from her haters for her beliefs and of course Debi who her failure not to bring home the gold medal in Calgary in 1988.
With the assistance of some Wordgirl fans they came with the moniker the Bad Girls Of The Isthmus since they in their own words "Don't take crap from anyone." Maybe my time at a high school in south Louisiana that has the motto Raider Pride did rub off on me. Oh by the way Gabby if you want to join the team I will think of using you as the third team member to be trained by the Lexicon Express and her wild and wooly cousins who have a hard time getting you to read my fan fictions on Archive Of Our Own and Devianart.
One more thing of the Bad Girls Of The Isthmus do not ask them what does "Where is the gas station." means since the Diva, Dee Train and maybe Diane will say to you "Put a tiger in your tank." Cover their noses and mouth with a damp cloth while they spray you to sleep with their hair spray cans.
So lighten up humanoids. As long as Miss Douglas watches reruns of "All For The Fatherland." she is saint that made one stupid error that should be pardoned. Good day.
