August Writing Day 5

Aug 05, 2006 21:40

I used the cover of the December 2005 issue of National Geographic as my inspiration.

Godzilla Is For Wimps

For sheer unbridled terror, nothing beats a sea monster. Yeah, T. Rexes and Velociraptors are pretty scary, but you know they’re gone. Kinda hard to hide if you’re 20 feet tall and weigh 6 tons isn’t it? But out in the ocean you never know ( Read more... )

How many of you still won’t go?

LMAO - when I was married we lived 20 minutes from the ocean, and he wouldn't touch it. Because of sharks. I thought he was mad.

Damn, I wish I could show him this.

I'm still leery of going into water that I can't see the bottom of.

But I still check under the bed for pods too; so you can't go by me.

Yep, the ocean is an easy place for anything to lurk.

This is very good. But maybe I won't go into the water either.

Not that I'm opposed to space exploration (I'm a long-time Trekkie), but I always wondered why they didn't expend any effort in exploring the oceans? Which have the advantage of being a lot closer.

Thank you. But I didn't really mean to scare you. Well, not much anyway.

lee_terati August 7 2006, 00:43:52 UTC

Nah. There are scarier things on land.

Heck, I know people who were afraid to shower after Jaws.

Not bathe; shower.

Forget space - give me the bottom of the Pacific any day.

t!

sholmes87 August 6 2006, 19:49:13 UTC

I thought the shower thing was just because of Psycho?

*shrugs* Go fig.

Just send me a post card from the Trench, OK? ;)

Ha ha, ironically, I think I missed reading this the day it was posted because I was at the beach ;)

Didcha see Jaws?

elanya August 8 2006, 11:22:31 UTC

It's a good movie :)

*solemnly*

You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din.

Maybe it's because I'm a desert rat, but I'm more interested in what could be in really deep mines and mountains... excellent story, although I pictured the storyteller dressed in the stereotypical "professor's tweed" even after he announced he was a dinosaur.

sholmes87 August 8 2006, 03:43:56 UTC

Bats! And the Mole Man!

I'm so glad you liked it!

Hee! I like the idea of a dino in tweeds.
