There is a thread at the other board titled, "Xena and Gabs in today's world"; a 'what would they wear, where would they live, what evils would they face' type thing.
I've at least got Xena's career figured out...
In today's world, Xena is a middle-school gym teacher.
It was open-house this evening at my daughter's school - her first year in middle school. Find her locker, find her classes and meet the teachers. Last was the gym teacher.
She stood leaning up against the wall, arms crossed, menacingly tall stature, her unsmiling face framed in long black hair with bangs.
A friend of mine was there also; her daughter has the teacher same period as mine. I pulled my friend aside as the others in the gym listened to the teacher explain to the ten and eleven year olds present what misdeeds committed will require twenty-five push-ups, and whispered to her, "Have you ever seen the television show Xena: Warrior Princess? Does this teacher remind you of anyone?" "Yes", she said, "Think she'll show up first day of school in leather?" "I dunno", said I, "but I'm sure she'll be carrying the whip."
Later, I mentioned to my daughter that her gym teacher looks like an older Xena. "Yeah, Mom, you're right. I hope she's not as tough as Xena though."
Oh Sweet Pea, let's just hope she's not the Evil Xena.
