Chickcharnie con carne

A good, old friend, Arnie Chickcharnie has allowed his legend to reach the mainland. He’s a very quiet creature who retired to the Bahamas centuries ago. He wanted to remain anonymous, but he was occasionally spied by humans who built a Bahamian legend around him. His handsome red eyes must have given him away.

If you get down to the Bahamas on vacation, be sure to keep your eyes out for him. Though he’s shy he does appreciate a Bahama Mamma once in a while. So buy him one. Maybe he’ll spare your delicate hide.

We’ve come a long way, baby

This Vampire Hunter’s Kit is evil in a box.

Back in the day it was fashionable to hunt and kill the undead. How horrific is that? I’m glad humans are more tolerable these days… and more tasty.

I found this link on another blog, but I’m linking directly to the scientific oddities page containing this vampire hunter’s kit. How droll.


To give credit where credit is due, Scribal Terror is where I originally found it.

Cracked is whack with their lists

I was alerted to this list on cracked.com earlier today. It lists “6 Bizarre Real World Versions of Fictional Monsters.” Little do they know (obviously) that there are players and poseurs , and there are fictional characters, but then there are the real things.
The list is amusing nonetheless. Worth a look see. First on the list is vampires, so I'm not sure if that should be an insult or compliment. Maybe Ian Fortey needs a nibble.

He also lists zombies. I wonder what Betty Bones would think. And Frankenstein. Abby Cadaver probably wouldn't care either way. And last on the list is demons. My own little sister, DeMonica is a demon. She seems to think that since she’s last on the list it means she’s considered to be the least pretentious. Let her go on thinking that.

The old bat

Old bat, Tanner is 23.

Yesterday was Tanner’s birthday, and I forgot to send him a card.
If you get a chance, please send regards to Tanner, the oldest known bat at the Cranbrook Institute of Science. He’s 23.
Clicky.

R.I.P. Eartha Kitt

Eartha Kitt was the sexiest Catwoman ever.

I’m not linking this directly to a news story because it would be late to the funeral anyway. I just want to make it known that I hope Eartha Kitt will rest in peace.
Eartha Kitt was a great actor, singer, and performer. She captivated me with her kitty cat styling, and her smooth personality. She was mature beyond her years when she was young, and youthful and sexy beyond belief when she was old. I’ll miss you, kitty.

The YouTube link to her performance of “I want to be Evil,” is embedded below.

Eeeyeeew, LICE!

This lice does more than make your head itch. These creatures were caught in lobster traps, and I guess no one considered eating them… because lobsters are SO much more attractive and appetizing.
They are going on display in England. If any of my UK readers happen upon this exhibit, I'd love to hear from you about it.
Check the full story.

We Kill You — They really do

Sure, it’s not bogey news, but whose blog is this, anyway? I had to post this stuff because it is just that cool. Besides, I report on that that is reported on.
Check out this Indie Toy Spotlight at Fear.net that I found. The toys are monsters from WKY or We Kill You. Freakin’ sweet.
Go directly to their site to look at their stuff. You can even buy cool We Kill You stuff. Get that Christmas shopping started early!

Pur-Pur-fect

Quasimodo x 2. These or this is the most adorable little kitty-kitty! I wonder if there should be a special place for all these kinds of special kitties who need special attention.
Quasimodo was born with two faces, and both are adorable.

Tampa tamper

So much for current news. This is a sea monster “news” is a couple of years old, but I never got the email. I wish I had! What a beautiful creature. If only it was real. It’s actually a sculpture by artist, Juan Cabana. I have a theory on artists who make monsters, but I'll keep it to myself ;)
