Monster of the Day #817

Sigh. So ends another Octopus week.

  • Gamera977

    I hope one of their indications of being sexually normal doesn’t include fighting giant octopi…

  • Ken_Begg

    Boy, you don’t need to be Sigmund Freud to see the import of this one.

  • Gamera977

    Well, I would bring along a much larger… ahem… sperm… I mean SPEAR gun than the puny one this guy is using, make of that what you will… BAHAHAHA

  • bgbear_rnh

    frickin disqus moderating me again because of a link: The White Rabbit was British spy Forest Frederick Edward “Tommy” Yeo-Thomas who mostly operated in occupied France. I guess you have to look him up yourself if interested.

  • bgbear_rnh

    When looking at this picture of a death struggle do you think (a) “wow cool octopus”, (b) that’s a fine specimen of a man, or (c) this picture would be better if he was rescuing a half-naked woman

  • Eric Hinkle

    I’ll go with (a) and (c) myself.

  • Gamera977

    Those are good- I was kinda hoping for (D) no man just a cute gal in a teeny-tiny bikini fighting the octopus though…

  • Rock Baker

    Wow! Greatest cover art of all time! I can see why you saved this one for last! Almost looks like a scene that should have been seen in THUNDERBALL but didn’t make it….

  • Rock Baker

    My first response was to note that the artwork is just about perfect. The level of detail is just right, the use of colors, the realism, it’s all there. I didn’t even notice the lack of pulchritude until you pointed it out!

  • bgbear_rnh

    it all comes from being sexually normal.

  • Flangepart

    “Do you expect me to swim?”
    “No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to feed the fishes.”
    Yeah, A hapless blond would be a good addition.

  • Rock Baker

    I think you mean blonde, not blond. Blond is the masculine form of the word, so that would be something more akin to Buster Crabbe.

  • bgbear_rnh

    oh boy, “Reap the Wild Wind” on tonight on TCM, squiddly diddly!

  • Eric Hinkle

    There’s actually a difference between ‘blond’ and ‘blonde’, other than the spelling? Wow. You learn something new every day if you;re lucky.

  • Rock Baker

    It seems to be largely forgotten, actually. Drive me as batty as politicians who can’t say “nuclear.”

  • Flangepart

    Well, color me corrected. And kinda creeped out by the implications…
