"Benny the Crocodile!" This should be a series. I love that he refers to himself, mentally, by his full title; I love the suggestion that there's an ongoing, perennial struggle between the nitwit day care center staff (who put up barbed wire!) and "Benny the Crocodile" (and that he always wins); I love the sheer lunacy of the entire premise.
A whole series of smug thought balloons! "Well, they're right...nobody could get past these sentries to menace the children. Except Benny the Crocodile."
He'd have to not actually be that dangerous -- just persistent and annoying. You'd keep glimpsing him out the day care center windows, tirelessly sneaking across the asphalt or dropping out of a tree by accident.
And sometimes he would wear different hats thinking he was fooling people because a hat, of course, is the perfect disguise or so he thinks. It would be so much easier for him to seek out normal crocodile food but this has become PERSONAL and he isn't going anywhere until he's eaten every damned kid in the building.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Thank you. I had the same thought. I need to pitch this concept to Disney. Toddlers eaten by amphibians is a winning idea.

That's such a sweet picture of the little girl playing chess with her cat.
I don't know if it's because I just watched the movie The Edge the other day, but that bear just cracks me up.
