On this, the 45th anniversary of Max McGee's greatest moment, we offer something else entirely...

Greetings, one and all:

   We at Fun Central are finding it hard to believe that it’s the middle of January already. Here we are, one-twenty-fourth of the way through a year, and once again without a thing to show for it. And to think that this should happen on Edward Teller's birthday, too. Just so that you’re all sure to whom I refer here (and it’s not the magician who doesn’t speak with the tall talkative friend), here’s a little musical tribute (?) to The Father of the Hydrogen Bomb.  Long may it gather dust and remain unused (the H-bomb, I mean…not the song about it).  

   Be all that as it may (or be that as it January, whichever comes first), it’s Sunday, so that must mean it’s time for another edition of The Funday Sunnies featuring Duncan. This one is sort of inspired by the fact that we all gathered Chez Cousins last night to watch (read “fall asleep in front of”) that timeless classic of Japanese cinema, War of The Monsters (a.k.a. "Gamera tai Barugon") *, which features a couple of atomically-mutated reptile-ish creatures who have remained dormant since their kind walked the earth in the long-forgotten Rubbersuitian Era.

   Enjoy.

* Seriously…I wanna know why Kurosawa turned down th’ chance ta direct this’un. A couple’a fire-breathin’ rubber lizurds wooda pepped up Th’ Seven Samurai considerubbly.
