Mutating Avian Loo

Another segment in the ongoing saga of the avian loo. I'm a bit surprised at this bird's rate of growth. At this pace it may prove to be a formidable member of the venerable pantheon of Japanese monsters.



Viewers will also note that Mom is not much for housekeeping. Is this how monsters are made? The philosophical implications are troubling...

Beezilla!

People everywhere are aware that Japan is home to some of the greatest monsters the world has ever seen. Godzilla, Mothra, Gidorah, Gamera, not to mention their "mecha-" counterparts, these are names that strike fear and terror into the hearts of reasonable people all around the world. Although I have the distinguished pleasure of being personal friends with Ultraman, I have never known the exquisite thrill of encountering one of Japan's mighty behemoths face to face. Until today...

One of the lesser-known (but no less mighty!) members of the Japanese monster pantheon is Beezilla. You would do well to remember this name, friends, for Beezilla is not a force to be trifled with! Beezilla will not go "splat" on your car's windshield! No, indeed, for your car is no match for Beezilla! My hands quivered with a combination of dreadful awe and excitement as I took the picture you see before you (and I'm not even allergic to bee stings...).

Hail, Beezilla!

Friday Skiving Off Work Video: Bambi Meets Godzilla

Here it is, the classic, "uncut" version of the cult masterpiece Bambi Meets Godzilla. The sheer joy to be... enjoyed during this film's triumphant conclusion cannot be described. Nay, it must be experienced.



I swear, I cry tears of joy each and every time I watch this movie. I can honestly say that his movie changed my life...

Friday Skiving Off Work Video: Dance with Godzilla!

Godzilla takes some time off from his onerous duties as King of the Monsters to have a little fun. Featuring a scene of the famous, gravity-defying "godzilla dropkick"! Enjoy...



Who says monsters are all gloom and doom?

Friday Skiving Off Work Video: Godzilla, King of the Monsters and Blue Öyster Cult

About 18 years ago a band I was in opened for Blue Öyster Cult at Halifax's legendary Misty Moon Cabaret (Barrington St. version, which, sadly, closed several years ago). These guys were "rock gods" to me, and there's no question in my mind that this was the proudest moment of my musical career (such as it was).

A classic band, Blue Öyster Cult, perfroming a classic song about a classic monster, Godzilla. What could possibly be finer? Please enjoy!

History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men
Godzilla!

Of Men and Mothra...

My friends often ask me, "Kyklops, why the fuck do you think about Japanese monsters so much? Why do you draw inspiration from them, and why do they form the basis of your personal outlook on life?" Well, I have no answer for them. And besides, what kind of friend asks a guy questions like that, anyway?

One thing has been gnawing away at me lately, though: what kind of weird shit is it to have a monster that's a fucking giant moth?

General Tachibana: Monsters resembling Godzilla have been seen in the United States...
Soldier one: Wasn't that Godzilla?
Soldier two: The Americans said it was Godzilla, but all the Japanese scientists denied it.

Please enjoy Mothra being killed by Ghidorah...
