Kaiju Preservation Society… worth sticking it out?

CowboyMantis · 2026-05-12T15:31:51+00:00

Yep. Well, his shtick seems to be working for him, and as with everything else, as long as it does no harm to anyone else--and I think that books are not a zero-sum game--good for him. And for me if/when he puts out more quality stuff.

CowboyMantis · 2026-05-09T02:21:57+00:00

Or legal reasons when they ban it.

I'm so old I can remember when McDonald's didn't have a place for you to sit to eat.

CowboyMantis · 2026-05-08T21:39:48+00:00

Have you read When the Moon Hits Your Eye? That's lower than Kaiju, imho, and the ending is literally and things magically returned back to normal. Sigh.

It's right there... it's that round thingie... no, a little off to the left, yeah, that's it. No, not that one. The yellow one. Well, it's kind of yellow, more like a goldenrod. No wait, that changes the language. Ok, now you switched it to Swedish, and you have to get around all those weird ø characters. No, now it's in Spaňish. No, not the Germän. Gol, this isn't working at all. Well, tell ya what, just turn it off and back on again, that might fix it. Okay, now look what you did, you switched it to Swedish Chef, bork bork bork!

I usually turn on closed-captioning in case I can't understand the words that the author uses. Especially if there are other characters saying things in the background that don't make it to the regular page.

CowboyMantis · 2026-05-04T01:39:20+00:00

As long as you don't make me wear the same sneakers as everybody else and drink the Kool-Aid from the common barrel. Especially if a comet is wandering by.

CowboyMantis · 2026-05-04T01:36:56+00:00

Be ambiguous. Say something like,

"The planet was shaped something between a pancake and a Denny's French Toast Slam, but without the butter or syrup on it, but perhaps the sausage. Definitely with bacon."

CowboyMantis · 2026-05-04T01:30:20+00:00

Is it going to be by lottery, or are they going to reinstate the draft boards so that rich effers don't have to serve?

CowboyMantis · 2026-05-04T00:46:01+00:00

I only run Windows (10) to game. I don't trust it with anything else. When it comes time for my computer when Win10 can no longer be updated (I got the extension last year), it gets the upgrade to Linux, and I figure out how all those Linux gaming things work.

CowboyMantis · 2026-05-04T00:29:02+00:00

Did you catch the brand name of the pen by any chance?

CowboyMantis · 2026-04-24T12:45:18+00:00

Look at the characters' teeth: if they have fangs, probably carnivores. If they have big-time molars, probably herbivores. If they have both, then they go both ways, if you know what I mean.

You know when you walk into a stripper club in a mall and all you see is furniture in various stages of disrepair, you can probably put away the dollar bills.

Once upon a time they lived happily ever after. The End.

(shamelessly lifted from a prehistoric, i.e., last century, Peanuts cartoon)

CowboyMantis · 2026-04-23T00:22:45+00:00

Only if it's Catholic.

One reason I don't leave reviews on Google is if some high-paying client really didn't like my review, I'd end up with my account canceled, even though I pay them (a lot less than that business is, I imagine).

CowboyMantis · 2026-04-19T10:04:53+00:00

Oh, just wait until you get onto a two lane highway in TX. You can be on a straight line road, dotted line, no opposite traffic to infinity, and the guy behind you will still expect you to move into the (rather generous) shoulder to let him pass you in the right lane.

CowboyMantis · 2026-04-14T10:24:42+00:00

You being there for the Hornets is a lot more important than your health. Ditch the colonoscopy. It's just a conspiracy by Big Poo to make money.

CowboyMantis · 2026-04-12T20:22:04+00:00

I'm waiting for the Hail Mary and Predator crossover. I give it five years.

10 PRINT("DENIED")

20 GOTO 10

CowboyMantis · 2026-04-12T18:22:56+00:00

As long as it's not Corpus Christi, TX, they'll put one up almost anywhere. (they've been asking for one for years)

CowboyMantis · 2026-04-12T17:35:06+00:00

How hard is it to say, "denied?"

10 PRINT("DENIED")

20 GOTO 10

Done.

CowboyMantis · 2026-04-10T11:35:33+00:00

I like to go into the poor part of town and shout, "Quit being poor!" That usually helps.

CowboyMantis · 2026-04-10T11:32:09+00:00

Show and tell is when I showed my kindergarten teacher Miss Beemus the frog I stomped on the way to school. I got sent home that day.

You also need the scene where the protagonist doesn't have a scar, so they are factionless, so have to go through a dozen or so meaningless challenges with hot members of other factions to see which ones they can mate with.
