This is a poem about a goldfish we once had..
------
One day when I went to the pet store..
I saw this cute little fish.
He was a small goldfish..
He swam around in his bowl..
My dad bought him for me.
I named him Geraldo.
Geraldo and I were best of friends..
I'd take care of him and read to him..
The fish and I were inseperable..
But sadly one day in July 2005..
When I went to check on him..
I saw him lying upside down in the bowl..
I had a fish named Geraldo..
He died, he died..
Dad said he was sleeping..
He lied, he lied..
Oh why oh why is my fish dead?
Couldn't it have been his brother Todd instead?
For his funeral..
We burried him in the garden..
I didn't want to flush him..
Because everyone knows..
That if a dead fish gets flushed..
It might infect the water system.
Poor geraldo, I miss him so.
He's up in the big fish pond in the sky now.
Swim geraldo, swim, swim, swim

The lab
Welcome to Inside The Lab with Dr M. I'm Nathan "Dr Music" Forester, the human/werejohncandy.
This blog is a place where all sorts of wacky and exciting things happen. And here we actually have stories that are interesting and have a point unlike Slapstick Anarchy which is nothing but lies and bulls****.
My brother and I work in animation, movies and television.
Our beloved mascot Chumsley the canadian forest werejc is always here to help the new comers settle in here - and so is the lovely Cassie. Maybe you'll get to meet her if you are lucky.
If you would like to take a tour of our home don't hestiate to ask.

Gargoyles
Today we are going to tell you about the epic cartoon series Gargoyles. It was a Disney cartoon like no other, it was darker and edgier and was unique. Many of it was based on Scottish mythology and shakespearian plays.
Gargoyles used to air on Disney Channel during the 90's and this was way before Disney became a hum drum teen bop network. You can get the first season of this epic show on dvd now, and hopefully some day Disney will release more seasons of it on dvd as well.
These creatures do indeed exist - in fact some can be sighted in places like St Augustine - but do not worry, these creatures do not attack people it is not their nature.
This show was parodied in Freakazoid as a segment titled Lawn Gnomes.
Our friends in stone are often called grotesques as this is said to be the correct term for these guys.
The Manhattan Clan of gargoyles are actually rather friendly despite their rather menacing appearances. They're the good guys.
If you ever get the chance to, you can watch episodes of the show on Youtube.
You can find out about the show here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gargoyles_(TV_series)
There's also some pretty cool Gargoyles stuff on this site here including information, fan stuff and memobillia info:
http://www.gargoyles-fans.org/
Here is another good Gargoyles site that is worth taking a look at:

This link has an article about the stone gargoyles we see during the day:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gargoyle
Gargoyles are stone by day and warriors by night.
From 1994 - 2009 there was often a Gargoyles fan event called the Gathering. The last one took place near the end of August last year. They have stopped doing these now for some reason, you can find out more about these here:

Hi
I am back online and quite frankly i'm glad to be back after being absent for so long. I had some urgent buisness to take care of.
I hope you all had a great valentine's day.
Our resident movie reviewers Roscoe and Albert (the ones who commented on a parody someone on amiright once wrote) went to see our latest movie Rise Of Lucifer yesterday and both of them loved it. Roscoe said that everything about it was amazing and Albert agreed.
We recently got season 1 of Disney's epic cartoon series Gargoyles on dvd - and let me just say it is truly amazing. It's darker and edgier than most disney fair and it's kind of a crash course in history, mythology and shakespeare.
In fact the only animated series it can be compared to is Batman: The Animated Series which also is quite dark and edgy.
We've also been posting some drawings that we've done including a portrait of John Candy as Barfolomew from Spaceballs - there's also one we did of what Doizee the ladybug would look like as a human.

Fairy tale romance
My brother and I had a most wonderful valentines day, we got lots of valentines from secret admirers and friends of ours. We also put on a special fireworks show for all of our friends. We had a Beauty and the beast theme sculpture contest where the contestants showed us sculptures they did depictating famous beauty and the beast type couples. There was one someone did of Elisa and Goliath from Gargoyles, one of Belle and the Beast, Martha May and the grinch - there was even one of Fiona and Shrek as well as one someone did of me as a werejohncandy holding a beautiful princess in his arms. Now i'm not sure if the princess depicted in the statue was a disney heroine like Belle but she did look rather like Andria.
Chumsley and Cassie had a lovely valentine's day too, they spent the whole day learning about our culture. They went to a museum and looked at some art - and I think Chumsley saw a portrait someone did of one of his relatives. They also went to the park, told stories and sang songs to children in the local library, saw a play and took part in a dance contest.
The two of them won the dance contest with their fantastic dance moves.
They had the time of their lives.
You know, werejohncandies are featured in quite a lot of stories we write, often as the gentle giant or the mentor character. There is an old canadian folk tale called The Explorers And The Werejc which is about a group of adventurers who go to find some food for the poor starving people of the village they come from - when they get to the forest they find that someone or something has been eating their food, that something is a jolly werejohncandy by the name of Bronco. Now one of the explorers gets mad and tries to hurt our big furry pal, but...Bronco the werejohncandy says that he has some friends who might be able to help them. The first explorer gets a change of heart and decides to spare Bronco's life. So they go and see the wise man who lives in the tree, the wise man gives them special a special bag filled with all sorts of goodies. The explorers and Bronco head back to the village and share the food with all the starving villagers and have a big feast. They are then rewarded for their kindly deeds by the king who gives them a lot of gold and gives them the title of honourary heroes.
We did an animated adaptation of this folktale. It's on the Storytime Favourites dvd compliation.

Monster factfile episode 1: Weregrinch
Today on Monster factfile we'll tell you about one of the most rare and elusive of lycanthropes, the Weregrinch.
Description:
Weregrinches (latin name: Lycanthius grinchus) are a very rare and unique species of lycanthrope that mainly appear around Christmas time but sometimes appear before and after xmas as well.
Appearance:
Weregrinches are covered in thick green fur, have pointed ears, small vampirish fangs, glowing eyes, long black clawed fingernails/toenails, long wild looking hair, bushy eyebrows, and a grinch-like muzzle. Females tend to have a much longer mane, slitted eyes, shorter claws and darker lips.
Behaviour traits:
Most weregrinches have various grinch-like traits and characteristics such as super keen senses and amazing super agility, stealth and strength. They also tend to growl at their enemies. Weregrinches are also very mysterious and elusive.
Alignment:
Weregrinches are not good or evil but are in fact neutral. Weregrinches are often misunderstood because of their rather bad reputation. Weregrinches are sometimes feared by humans especially around Christmas time.
Most notable example: Jim Carrey.
Combat:
Weregrinches are very excellent fighters and are also very stealthy and clever. They make great ninjas too. They are also very deadly especially when under emotional stress and they transform whenever they're angry just like Bruce Banner aka the Incredible Hulk. Weregrinches have a variety of powerful attacks including their claw and bite attacks.
The metamorphosis:
With most lycanthrope transformations in movies the transformation process is either depicted as scary or painful. But with weregrinch transformations the proccess isn't anything like that except for the first time it happens and that's because it's an affectionate parody of a typical horror movie transformation scene. It usually starts with the person developing grinch-like traits such as glowing yellow eyes, super keen senses, and superhuman agility, stealth and strength as well as a Jack Nicholsonish Cheshire Cat smile and growling a little. Then green fur starts to sprout all over that person's body and his/her fingernails and toenails grow into long, black sharp claws, and they slowly become more and more grinch-like throughout the process. The green fur growth kind of itches at first but he/she gets used to it over time. Then their features become more and more grinch-like as the green fur starts sprouting on their face, they also develop more grinch-like features including bushy eyebrows and a grinch-like muzzle. Unlike with most werecreature transformations where the face pushes out and becomes a snout, with weregrinch transformations the person's nose turns black and then moves upward because a grinch's nose is a lot higher up on the face than a human's is. And their hair grows longer and longer, they then develop pointed ears and small vampire-like fangs. When the final part of a weregrinch transformation takes place, they become more grinch-like as their hair grows into a mane while the grinch-like muzzle finishes developing and when the transformation is complete they are now a fully transformed weregrinch. Raaawr!
Transforming:
Weregrinches transform whenever they are under emotional stress especially if they are angry. They become particularly grinch-like around the Christmas season.
Transferring the curse:
There are two ways a weregrinch can turn another person into one of it's kind, one way is by bitting them and the other is by scratching them.
Becoming a weregrinch:
There are several ways a person can be transformed into a weregrinch, being bitten or scratched by one is the most common and basic way of doing it, but are also there are tons of other ways to do it as well. Santa sometimes gives people the curse of weregrinch as an alternative to giving them coal if they've been bad, and sometimes he gives it to them as a special bonus reward if they've been nice or good all year.

Rise Of Lucifer
We have just finished work on our latest movie Rise Of Lucifer which is a gothic horror film about how the prince of darkness rose to power to become the demonic entity he's known as today. We've teamed up with our friends Dan McCloud and Tyrone DeSoto. It's an epic tale of a battle between light and darkness.
Dan does the makeup for this incredible movie, and there are quite a lot of interesting creatures in the movie including several demons, gargoyles, cat creatures, undead minions, and even a jolly werejohncandy who appears in the garden scene (he's one of the creatures on the side of light).
Sam "Chinstar" Leno plays a Bruce Campbell-like hero who is the leader of the forces of light.
There are appearances by several other accomplices of ours including Andria who plays a werecat.
Tyrone is the writer for this magnificent work and he also plays the role of Lucifer.

Weregrinch tf
We're going to describe what turning into a weregrinch is like.
With most lycanthrope transformations in movies the transformation process is either depicted as scary or painful.
But with weregrinch transformations the proccess isn't anything like that except for the first time it happens and that's because it's an affectionate parody of a typical horror movie transformation scene.
It usually starts with the person developing grinch-like traits such as glowing yellow eyes, super keen senses, and superhuman agility, stealth and strength as well as a Jack Nicholsonish Cheshire Cat smile and growling a little.
Then green fur starts to sprout all over that person's body and his/her fingernails and toenails grow into long, black sharp claws, and they slowly become more and more grinch-like throughout the process.
The green fur growth kind of itches at first but he/she gets used to it over time. Then their features become more and more grinch-like as the green fur starts sprouting on their face, they also develop more grinch-like features including bushy eyebrows and a grinch-like muzzle.
Unlike with most werecreature transformations where the face pushes out and becomes a snout, with weregrinch transformations the person's nose turns black and then moves upward because a grinch's nose is a lot higher up on the face than a human's is.
And their hair grows longer and longer, they then develop pointed ears and small vampire-like fangs.
When the final part of a weregrinch transformation takes place, they become more grinch-like as their hair grows into a mane while the grinch-like muzzle finishes developing and when the transformation is complete they are now a fully transformed weregrinch.

Celebs as monsters
There are quite a lot of famous people I know about who have played a monster type role in a movie or tv show or have dreamed of playing a role like that.
More than a few famous actors have played a variation of Dracula, Frankenstein or the werewolf (or any werecreature in general) in a movie or tv show with the help of incredible makeup artists like Stan Winston or Rick Baker.
And it's not just those classic monsters in particular that have been portrayed by celebrities, there's other mythological creatures/beings that have been portrayed by a famous actor/actress in a tv show or movie as well as some well known ones like Satan who was portrayed brilliantly by quite a few different actors - but the most famous example of this is Tim Curry as the Lord Of Darkness in the film Legend.
And i'm sure there are a lot of celebrities that have dreamed of playing a character like that in a movie or tv series - or even to be featured in a Marvel comic teaming up with a crime fighter like The Hulk or Spiderman (or to be turned into a monster of some kind in said comic).
And someday I hope to lend my invention the monster morpher to some famous people, as I am sure a lot of celebrities out there would love to see what it's like to actually be a monster instead of just playing one.
In fact, for a long time I had been thinking that a movie based on Disney's tv series Gargoyles would be a pretty awesome idea, and I think it would be great if they made one.
If I was offered the chance on making a movie based on this awesome tv series - I'd jump at the chance to do it.
I'd have gone with John Candy as Broadway - but I fear that it may be impossible now since John's dead (coincidentally, John was also in mind to play the role of the Penguin in Batman Returns), so I possibly might go for Phillip Seymour Hoffman or Jack Black instead.
I for one also think that it would be cool to see Carmen Electra play SheHulk or even Demona - she's got the look for it. Plus it would probably be a great career move for her - she could really use one after being stuck in the Seltzerberg rutt of lame parody movies.
I know that Bruce Campbell got to be undead in Evil Dead II for a while and also in Army Of Darkness.
I know that quite a few famous people who got to play Batman villains in movies based on the comics, especially Jim Carrey (Riddler, 1995 Batman Forever), Michelle Pyfifer (Catwoman, 1992 Batman Returns), Jack Nicholson (Joker, 1989 Batman), Heath Ledger (Joker, 2008 Dark Knight), Danny Devito (Penguin, 1992 Batman Returns), and Tommy Lee Jones (Two-Face, 1995 Batman Forever).
I'd love to see Jeff Goldblum play Manbat in the new Batman film installment if there is one.
There are quite a lot of famous people who have played a monster or would love to play one in a movie or tv show.
So here's my challenge, tell me the name of a famous actor/actress that you like or one you would like to see play a monster type role and tell me what kind of monster you'd like to see him/her play and why.

Gargoyles
For those who don't know what a gargoyle is, it is a a carved stone creature with a spout designed to convey water from a roof or similar surface - preventing rainwater from ever dripping down on the walls of the masonry.
They also serve to scare off evil spirits. Although they look menacing - they are actually quite noble and heroic and it's their job to protect us from the forces of darkness.
There are often seen guarding various churches and similar buildings.
This creatures appeared as comic relief in Disney's adaptation of the Hunchback Of Notre Dame.
But they also appeared in an epic cartoon series made by Disney in the 90's - it was called Gargoyles and it was different than most disney cartoons of that decade because it was darker and edgier - it also was unique in more ways than one.
This is the Manhattan gargoyle clan. Their leader's name is Goliath and they are named after local place names.
This is their human friend Elisa Maza. She is a New York City cop and she is very loyal and trustyworthy to our her friends the gargoyles. In a way she kind of reminds me of Andria because she stands up for her friends like Andria does for me.
And this is David Xanatos - he is the arch enemy of the gargoyles. He is a rich, scheming executive type. There are several tropes named after him on the tvtropes website included Xanatos Gambit and Xanatos Roulette.
Gathering Of The Gargoyles
Today we are going to tell you about the epic cartoon series Gargoyles. It was a Disney cartoon like no other, it was darker and edgier and was unique. Many of it was based on Scottish mythology and shakespearian plays.
Gargoyles used to air on Disney Channel during the 90's and this was way before Disney became a hum drum teen bop network. You can get the first season of this epic show on dvd now, and hopefully some day Disney will release more seasons of it on dvd as well.
These creatures do indeed exist - in fact some can be sighted in places like St Augustine - but do not worry, these creatures do not attack people it is not their nature.
This show was parodied in Freakazoid as a segment titled Lawn Gnomes.
Our friends in stone are often called grotesques as this is said to be the correct term for these guys.
The Manhattan Clan of gargoyles are actually rather friendly despite their rather menacing appearances. They're the good guys.
If you ever get the chance to, you can watch episodes of the show on Youtube.
You can find out about the show here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gargoyles_(TV_series)
There's also some pretty cool Gargoyles stuff on this site here including information, fan stuff and memobillia info:

Here is another good Gargoyles site that is worth taking a look at:

This link has an article about the stone gargoyles we see during the day:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gargoyle
Gargoyles are stone by day and warriors by night.
From 1994 - 2009 there was often a Gargoyles fan event called the Gathering. The last one took place near the end of August last year. They have stopped doing these now for some reason, you can find out more about these here:

Flapjack poem
This is a poem about a cartoon series called the Marvelous Misadventures Of Flapjack. For those who do not know about this show, it is about a boy who likes adventure and wants to be an adventurer - his friend is a pirate named K'Nuckles and they live inside a big light blue talking whale named Bubbie who serves as the mother figure.
There's a lot of weird things to go on in this cartoon, it's quite surreal on some occassions - kind of like Courage The Cowardly Dog.
Flapjack and K'Nuckles travel across the lemonade sea
They wish to go to Candied island.
Bubbie the whale looks after them.
"Adventure!!" is what Flapjack will often exclaim.
Peppermint Larry sells sweets at the Candy Barell.
Candy Wife just stands there all still is if she's in a trance.
She imtimidates him to no end.
Even though he was only just looking at that gingerbread woman.
Candy Wife thought Larry was cheating..
Eight Arm Willy eats adventurers for breakfast, lunch and dinner..
He has a huge stash of candy somewhere.
Dr Barber is by far the scariest person you'll ever met.
Punzie Mchale is by far the punniest.
Be nice to the pie or it will get discrusted..
And dessert you..
That would feel off pudding.
Lolipoopdeck has such a silly name.
Bubbie likes birds, she wishes to fly in the sky.
Miss Leading will have you misled.
Her teaching methods may seem strange.
But she gets the job done...
Especially when it comes to teaching you about FEARRRRR!
She can also teach you about your lefts and rights..
Stormalong Harbour is where it's at.
Come along and see..
The marvelous misadventures of Flapjack.
It's an adventure you can both see and hear.

Tyrone the evil genius
There's a reason Tyrone DeSoto is nicknamed Tyrone The Terrible - he's a professional supervillain. For those who have seen what his abode looks like - it is a very impressive evil hi tech fortress with all sorts of death traps in it. Tyrone is very good at playing villain type roles, and he does so in many of our productions. In fact two of his villain roles were kind of based on Simon Cowell.
Not only that - Tyrone also is a friend of Darth Rangoon (who is a sith lord), and J.P Alvin Valkanheiser (the judge from the film Nothing But Trouble)
Tyrone knows a lot about the evil buisness, he's seen almost every Blackadder episode and can recite lines from all of those episodes pretty damm well, he's also dressed as the title character to reinassaunce faires. He is also good friends with Tim Curry (who by the way was excellent as the voice of Morlock in the Millitary koalas movie).
He is also a big fan of Tales From The Crypt - in fact he's seen all of the episodes (he's seen both the live action series and the animated one) - he's got a twisted sense of humour, and probably is the only one besides us who isn't creeped out by the Crypt Keeper. In fact the Tales From The Crypt haunted house tour attraction of the masters of horror wing of our museum/theme park was his idea. He can watch the endings of any of the episodes and NOT even cringe at the horrible gory demise of the main character.
One time he was asked to do an essay on his favourite movie ever - guess which movies he wrote about - he did his essays on Beetlejuice and Nothing But Trouble.
I kind of agree with him on Nothing But Trouble, it is a pretty funny film - sure it is a little creepy and weird but it's SUPPOSED to be like that - it's also a blast seeing Dan Akyroyd playing dual roles - he is great as both the creepy J.P Alvin Valkanheiser and Bobo (one of the two twins). John Candy is wonderful both as Dennis and as the mute yet lovely Eldona.
The Mr Bonestripper rollercoaster scene is amazing, the set design in general is pretty epic. That movie is severey underated.
I suggest you get out that movie sometime. You might like it.
Just don't ask what those hot dogs in the movie are made of.

Simon leaving American Idol
Simon Cowell will be leaving American Idol to work on his shows Britain's Got Talent and X-Factor. We hear that they're looking for a replacement even though it will be difficult to replace him.
I would do it but i'm not bitter enough, yes i am a genius and i am honest but i am not brutally that brutally honest.
We know quite a few people who happen to be equally as intelligent and brutally honest as Simon - and most of them happen to be part of the evil genius district.
There's a reason Tyrone DeSoto is nicknamed Tyrone The Terrible - he's a professional supervillain. For those who have seen what his abode looks like - it is a very impressive evil hi tech fortress with all sorts of death traps in it. Tyrone is very good at playing villain type roles, and he does so in many of our productions. In fact two of his villain roles were kind of based on Simon - one of which was Dark Overlord Simon from our fantasy film The Portal (modelled on Simon and has his mannerisms, also inspired by a few well known Disney villains - mainly Scar, Jafar and Hades) and the role of record executive Alistair Banks (playing the Scrooge type role in our modern retelling of A Christmas Carol).
Not only that - Tyrone also is a friend of Darth Rangoon (who is a sith lord), and J.P Alvin Valkanheiser (the judge from the film Nothing But Trouble)
Tyrone's plans for what he wishes to add to the American Idol studio include a moat filled with crocodiles, a Mr Bonestripper rollercoaster, a shark tank, a torture chamber, and a pit with a big hungry monster in it. He hasn't decided what kind of monster to put in it though.
Darth Rangoon has suggested a rancor like in Return Of The Jedi. Dan McCloud suggested a Komodo dragon or a giant snake.
I think Tyrone would make a great Simon replacement. Plus with his evil genius brain and unlimited supplies of torture equipment - there would be zero perchant chance of the contestants ever complaining or having a grudge against him - and there's only 50% chance of said contestants coming back alive.

Madonna
Like we said before, Andria is no Mary Sue - she's a diamond in the rough. And her character in the hit series Millitary Koalas is most definately no Mary Sue either - she's an Action Girl. She represents a koalas right to do what she wants and to do it on her own terms while remaining a sense of style, class and feminity - but she's not girly.
She has all the same traits as her voice actress Andria.
She has several moments of badass and awesome in the series but in the books, graphic novels and comics she has even more of them.
The movie was just packed full of moments of Awesome - not just for her but for all the other characters as well.
The computer generated music video we did using scenes with her in them from the movie and set to Die Another Day by the singer she's named after - features almost all of her moments of awesome.
We think her best crowning moment of awesome is when she uses an exploding beer keg to destroy the fortress in the rock opera episode - she also does the same thing in the movie.

The dungeon keeper
This poem is about the creepy old guy character archetype. He is known as the dungeon keeper here and is partially based on the Crypt Keeper and also based on JP Valkanheiser from Nothing But Trouble.
He lurks by the gates of the dungeon..
He is very old and creepy looking..
He wears a black robe...
Knows a lot of dark magic spells..
Cackles like the Crypt Keeper..
He has a twisted sense of humour..
Sometimes is compared to the Grim Reaper..
Is not at all fair on people who break the rules of the kingdom..
Throws them in the dungeon..
Even if they didn't do it..
Sometimes gives them a warning..
Says "I'll let you go on your way..
And when you go...
"THE CAT'S EYES WILL SPIN!!!" is what he'll yell after that..
Likes hamming it up sometimes..
Slightly hammier than Jim Carrey..
Often has a big brute who serves as a guard..
Has a twisted sense of humour..
Likes to build elabarate torture devices..
He's the dungeon keeper..

Blobfish poem
This is a poem about one of natures most misunderstood animals - the blobfish.
Deep down in the bottom of the tasmin sea.
There lurks a fish nobody has heard of before.
The blobfish is his name.
Skin of gelatinous goo.
He always look sad and blue.
He is not the most attractive fish in the sea.
And he is not the most edible either.
The poor fish is unloved.
Poor blobfish.
He looks so depressed.
And he's in danger of going extinct.
Won't someone please help this fish?
Won't someone help the blobfish?
Please help this fish.
He's so sad, lonely and depressed.
Please help this fish.
Please help the blobfish.
Don't cry for him, he's already dead
