Wordful Wednesday: Optimus Primer

When I went sailing on Lake Michigan with a friend last summer I looked at the old stove that they had in their cabin. To my amazement I noticed that one of the buttons was labeled Optimus. I got a chuckle out of that and had to take this picture.

If you are familiar with the Transformers then you may get the joke. Optimus Prime is one of the main characters (a semi truck that can transform into a plane or something). Why then would Optimus Prime transform himself into a button on a boat… I ask you?

I don't get it? Is that something a mother of 3 boys should understand? ;-)

Guess what? We have a Portillos Hot Dogs in town now... I had to share that w/someone from Chicago.

Optimus Primer! I can appreciate this. Yes, even before I read any further than the title, it made me immediately think of that guy. Between Transformers and Clerks 2, Optimus Prime gets worked into a conversation regularly.

Sailing sounds fun today. It is cold and snowy and icy. I miss summer!

Optimus Prime is my husband's favorite character in that movie. He would have been thrilled to find a button like that!

LOL! I think you might have just come up with the plot for their next movie!

Haha! My brother was a HUGE transformers fan--just the right age. He had Optimus Prime. This is hilarious
