Monday-itis

Pretty much says it all....

Be Afraid...Be Very Very Afraid.... :-)

It's amazing what you can find on the 'net if you look hard enough. Today I am posting just a small handful of things I have discovered about the truly bizarre (cyber)world we live in.

(NB. All headlines and comments are my own!)

GODZILLA SHRINKS IN THE WASH AND WALKS THE STREETS OF JAPAN WITH HIS (UNNAMED) GIRLFRIEND!

or:

GODZILLA SEEN IN JAPAN WITH SCARILY TALL JAPANESE GIRLFRIEND!

Ah....that lovely feeling of a stretch on a good lazy sunny Queensland day

WAAAAAAAAA :-(

To all my friends (and family) in the cyberworld, this one's for you!

HOW TO END THE CURRENT SPATE OF WARS

- WITH CACKLES OF LAUGHTER

(Am I the only one, or is this just WRONG on so many levels???)

And my favourite by far.....

(it just makes my head hurt thinking about it!)

Greetings from the Deep Woods.....

It's been awhile since I last posted, I know. Bad me!

May I say in my defence that I have a whole plethora of reasons for having been absent for the last two months?

Not that I'm gonna tell you any of them, just know that they are there :-)

Well, perhaps, just maybe, I might admit to at least one of them. I have the 'flu. There - I've said it. The 'flu. Influenza. A general malaise. An Illness. A feeling of being terribly unwilling to communicate with the outside world when there's a nice warm coocoon called a bed to snuggle up in, with DVDs to watch from the safety and warmth of said bed....

So there you go. I have other reasons for the month and a half prior to that, but they are mostly to do with flooding rain and family matters.

Now...onto other things.

While being ill, I seem to have had a bit of time on my hands, so I started re-reading my Phantom comics. (Yes, I collect comic books, sad as it sounds)

The Phantom - The Ghost Who Walks - The Man Who Cannot Die - Guardian Of The Eastern Dark, etc....

He's my favourite of all *superheroes*, and it's been a lot of fun to delve back into the depths of my comic book collection. (all from the warmth and seclusion of my own little Skull Cave, known to others as my bed)...

Anyway....Australia's own Frew Publications hit 60 years of non-stop publishing of the Phantom last year. The longest run for any comic book in the world. The creater of the Phantom (Lee Falk) is also the creater of the world's first ever superhero - Mandrake The Magician (another comic I collect, when I can find it). Mandrake started out in the early 1930s, and is still going strong, along with the Phantom (also started in the 1930s), despite the death of Lee Falk in 1999.

Here's to a belated 'nother 60 years of non-stop publishing!

Yay!
