The Cap'n's Log

Welcome, Winslow Schott

New The Monsters' Republic of Monstairia today (and MROM will continue to update every Wednesday, even while the rest of the site is enjoying summer break).

Also, since we got a plug in the latest issue of Toyfare Magazine, we thought we should welcome any new visitors who first heard of us there: welcome. Some things you may enjoy:

* Catch Phrases The Human Torch Toyed With Before Settling For "Flame On"
*Sin City Sequel Posters
* Our entire Star Wars section
* A Scene From the Gotham City Museum
* Items on Lex Luthor's To-Do List
* Things Bat-Man Does to Keep Busy While Waiting for Crimes

Of course, there's also plenty of non-nerd jokes around here too, if you enjoy that kind of thing.

How Would You Like To Be Me?

It's summertime! Stop sitting around inside and reading comedy on the internet! Get out and play? OK, here's a list first: Less Popular Bumper Stickers by contributor Rich Piepho. Now out! Still not going, eh? OK, how about this: we're taking the summer (somewhat) off! The Monsters' Republic of Monstairia WILL continue to update every Wednesday, but the regular Friday comedy updates are suspended from now through August. Maybe, if you're good, we'll pop in for a Zonar update and maybe even a list, but the regularity is on hold for the summer.

Instead, we're going to Rockaway Beach!

Yes, dreamy Rockaway Beach, where the water is so thick you can sit on it and the girls are still modest enough to cover themsevles from neck to knee with loose, flowing fabric (and ballet shoes). If... if that is a girl, that is. Maybe there's a reason she likes that fabric so loose. Also, that's got to be a wig, doesn't it? Now picture that same head with short cropped hair instead.

Oh my God, Frankie Muniz. What happened?
