What's Japanese for "Ow" ...?

Tea: Christmas

Music: Tom Lehrer, "The Masochism Tango"

Time: Evening.

Sorry, y'all, this post is standing for yesterday's and today's. My ankle hurts like crazy, so I've been (a) keeping off of it and (b) keeping it elevated for the last couple of days. (Yes, I'm also doing the ice and compression parts of "RICE" -- those just aren't as much fun as sitting in a recliner watching cheesy monster movies.)

So far I've watched "The Son of Kong" and "Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack." "Gorgo" is next. After that, I should probably head back to Japan for something with Anguirus (or Angilas, if you will).

Why him?

Because he's a giant Ankylosaurus. Get it? Ankle-o-sore-us?

I kill myself sometimes ...
