... of the day.

In honor of the coming *holiday I bring you another chapter in the continuing series of... oh, just read about it here:

*********

I'll start with... "gammerstang"

Gammerstang is the original term for the woman represented in the classic US b-movie Attack of the 50 foot woman. She now lives with Yeti in the Himalayas, and although is was rumored that Sasquatch was their first born, she has since past child bearing years.

The ronyon is a brutish little scabby beast that runs around making people cry. He's very thin skinned himself and has many many layers.

Hey I think I've worked with a few ronyons in my time.

The kankedort (Equus kankedorus) is a large odd-toed ungulate mammal that has an unusual life cycle in that it transforms each weekend during football season such that it becomes indistinguishable from Equus asinus. Etymology: kankedorus, bottom (Old High German)

"Lobscouse" is Norwegian slang for the troll like creature who hangs out at the entrance to recycling plants and rummages through new refuse looking for meat and potatoes. Its name comes from combining the word for its home (the garbage scow) and rumors of the frontal lobotomy operation it received in the late 1940's.

The caponier is a foul fowl that runs around like a chicken with its head chopped off, all the while screaming (with her head tucked underneath her arm), "Don't drop it in the soup"!

Like the Capon the Lamprey was a rich delicate dish up to the 18th century. This one is not advisable for table use, but does well in monster collections.

Right. It's cephalaspidomorphic.

An organism that invades the brain and changes its form, giving it eight pseudopods that extrude from various aperatures in the skull, drilling the two extra needed for the last two pseudopods.
