    I knew a Canadian whose wife's name was Yoko...he said it all the time.
    Great song.
    But I do believe in Ghidrah...the three headed monster. Great, sci-fi flick when I was a kid.
    And Rodan. Cool Japanese cult movie stuff.

    I still have a Gamera model in my collection...MIB. Got a guy who emails me every 6 or so months to inquire if it is for sale.
    Loved Godzilla, too...but after the first one, they went crazy with two little dopey princesses, Mothra, Mecha Godzilla/ Kong, etc., etc.
    In Japan, he was Gojira.
    When they brought it to the US, they thought Godzilla sounded better. And they thought a popular American actor would help, so they hired Raymond Burr ( who had the no. 1 TV show at the time, Perry Mason), and filmed scenes with him and edited them in to the US version.
    It was huge, and Godzilla is still " King of All Monsters" !!!

    What was the back story about Baby Godzilla? I loved the movies being born in Japan.

    I don't remember the back story, but I do remember Godzilla having to stomp on the poor kid's tail in order to make him properly spit out fire.

    Don't know the details on that...all basically riding the coattails of the original huge hit. Gojira was a bad dude initially, no doubt. A killing machine. He was supposed to have been forever done in by Dr.Serizawa's " oxygen destroyer", at the end, but with the mountain of $ dancing in their heads, he was resurrected in a NY minute, and changed into a good guy, fighting whatever creatures they could think of.
    Baby G. just kept it all going...and fed the "cute" appetite the franchise had cultivated by then.
    The American version was something called "Gorgo", who had a baby, too.
    And it seems like every decade or so, they try a new Godzilla remake...I guess they figure modern CGI would blow away the guy in the rubber suit version. But it didn't. But I saw it through the eyes of a kid, which for some things, is unbeatable.
    I call it the King Kong syndrome...for amazing as the new ones look, there's nothing like the 1933 stop motion Harryhausen one, imo!.
    And looking at it now, Faye Wray's breasts, before the code, were gorgeous.
    Seen now through the eyes of a old letch, of course.

    Merely tough love amongst giant metaphorical Japanese radioactive creatures.

    Yoko was a Japanese monster. Stomped out the Beatles.

    The thing that has annoyed me about Trayce is that he's not trustworthy defensively. He has good enough range and what not but I swear he makes way too many mistakes on routine plays. If you're gonna be a bench player coming up and down from the minors, you got to at minimum play solid defense.

    I don't even think Joc is that fat and he's still had a damn good year on both ends but this team is so good right now, he's one of the few punching bags we have. And it's a cushiony bag.
