Operation "Odyssey Dawn?"

March 19, 2011

No, I’m not about to go all political and start debating the merits of using force in Libya.

Instead, I’m wondering who makes up the names for our military missions. I mean seriously. Operation Odyssey Dawn? Here’s what that sounds like to me:

  1. A four-door sedan from Honda.
  2. A fragrance from Kristen Stewart.
  3. A techno-dance band.
  4. A teenage girl who lives in the Valley.
  5. A feminine hygiene product.
  6. A dishwasher soap.

Maybe I’m crazy and it’s the perfect name for firing missiles at people. I just don’t see it.

    Okay, #2 is my favorite! But it could also be a stripper’s stage name or the title of a new Jean M Auel book if she took on the Trojan War.

    A new Jean Auel book. Why didn’t I think of that, Kristen! LOL. Pure genius.
