Yowie power

I've been looking around the internet for interesting clips and fun websites, and i stumbled upon a site about the Yowies, in case you don't know what a Yowie is it's sort o like Kinder Surprise but you get an animal toy in them, mainly of an Australian or new Zealand animal. There were 6 Yowie-men, their names were Boof, Rumble, Crag, Ditty, Squish, and Nap.

monsters and the darkside

Despite what Anon said,   this blog is in no way an emo blog and i am not emo either,   i  don't do all those things that some people think emos do like cutting yourself and all that -  those are just crude stereotypes,   i know that knives are dangerous and one should not play with them,   i only use a knive for cuting food  and nothing else -  certainly not for killing people or anything.

Also while it was true i wear black sometimes,   i'm not emo in the least bit,   while it is true i did go through a Goth phase in 2001-2007  that was only because i wanted to be like the character Merton from the show Big Wolf On Campus.   It's also mainly because in a way to emulate the style of my favorite American Idol judge - and by in the if you are wondering who it is -  it's Simon.   And by the way i am not obsessed with him or anythin g and despite what Anon said i have no intention of morphing into a "Were-"  version of him,  even though it was mighty nice of her to say that and to call me a snake on slapstick anarchy -    seriously,   that was a pretty high and awesome compliment -   i like snakes as they are some of my favorite animals and i like Simon as he is one of my favorite celebrities (hence why one of the villains in my Carlos Castaneda fan story series is a male Naga appropriately named Cowellconstrictor,  as the waist up he looks like Simon and he also has Simon's personality and his voice).

And also i haven't heard of the band My Chemical Romance and while i have heard of Linkin Park,  i don't listen to them that much.      My music tastes are different -   i like Elvis,  David Bowie,   Meatloaf,   Kiss,  Metallica,  Alice Cooper,   MJ,  Madonna,  Cher,   Rolling Stones,   The Blues Brothers,   Iron Maiden,    Creature Feature and even bands like Aqua and Westlife.    I used to be a Spice Girls fan too.

Yes it's true i do love monsters and other scary things as well as horror movies,   I used to be a fan of the Goosebumps book series along with my friend who was also a fan of the series - so much so that she had all the books and the tv show episodes on video.   All of them worked except for A Night In Terror Tower and that was an american VHS and wouldn't work on the VHS player that only played videos from England or Australia.  I wanted to collect all the books,   the only ones i had in the series was the original Monster Blood and Monster Blood II.   My favorite episodes of the series were definitely Night Of The Living Dummy III,   The Haunted Mask,   Werewolf Of Fever Swamp,   Vampire Breath and One Day At Horrorland.    Now Night Of The Living Dummy III and Haunted Mask were special because at the beginning they had R.L Stine (the author of the books)  doing the introduction at the beginining and at the end (he also did the intro for Haunted Mask II,  Werewolf Of Fever Swamp and A Night On Terror Tower).    One thing that i could never figure out and it still perplexes me to this day is about that spot in the middle of his forehead,  i'm very curious -   i don't know if it's a birthmark,  zit or anything like that -  i tried finding it out on google but i couldn't get any results.

As for other horror books,  i did receive a copy of Bram Stoker's Dracula for my birthday back in 1998 when my family and i were on holiday here in New Zealand,   that is what kind of fueled my interest in vampires along with  Buffy the vampire slayer.    And no i'm not a Twilight fan,   I have heard of the books and the films but i have never read the books or seen the movies,   i'm not really interested in them and from what i've been hearing they don't seem all that great and i don't really get why they're so popular.    I feel the same way about Hannah Montana,   High School Musical and any other teenbop thing the Disney Channel makes,   i  just don't get why some kids enjoy them so much.

There was a group of kids at Wairau Valley (the school i used to go to) -  big kids mind you,  who would dance to music during the breaktime.   Mainly because they were practicing for jump jam which i' m ashamed to say i took part in where you have to dance to songs like Witch Doctor and follow the dance moves of the instructor,   but also because music helps calm their leader (the always angry and not to mention quite scary looking) Sally down.

I have quite a few horror books I enjoy reading including the Tales Of Horror series which are sort of books that tell you all sorts of interesting facts about monsters,   the ones i have are Werewolves,  Monsters, Vampires,   and Ghosts -  i hope to get the ones on Aliens and Zombies soon.

I also have the Dungeons and Dragons monster manual,  i personally like the werecreatures they have on their lycanthrope entry including weretigers,  wereboars and wererats.    Coinicidentally,   my friends and I used to do a bit of role-playing where we would play werecreatures -   Jason would be the were-eagle guy,   Eben would be the werebear guy and I would be the were-rat.   I then later used my skills as a writer to type up a script based on this little werecreature game of ours -  starring my wererat character -  who had a little brother of her own (another wererat) both of them were rogues and their main arch enemy would be a wererat nobleman type.   Although now I think Jason is more of a Werejoshpeck because he really does resemble a pre weight loss Josh Peck and has some of his mannerisms too.  

I also worked on several National Lampoon's Animal House fan episode scripts if you will,   and my character was a member of the Delta House -  she was a female werebelushi named Scarlett,  and she would serve as a female counterpart to Bluto (John Belushi's character) -   and yes,  she does have an uncle named Jake but not Crazy Jake like on the Blues Brothers forum but rather Greasy Jake -  a werebelushi who is the owner and manager of the Greasy Jake's fast food joint -  which in a way was sort of our very own parody of McDonalds and Burger King.     My friend David and I had a lot of fun writing up the episodes,   one of the episodes i enjoyed writting the most was the one where Scarlett turns into a Full Werebelushi on a full moon night and goes berserk,   scaring the hell out of everyone in the Omega house as well as Dean Wormer,   i had a lot of fun writing the transformation sequence for that -  i made it sort of painful and at the same time funny - the part where she gains 500lbs was the most fun as was the clothes ripping,   i put some detail into doing the quills growing out of her back part.    And later on i would more transformation sequences like that,   like in the Halloween special transcript -  and to add an extra belushi homage -   she was dressed as a Samurai Blues Brother (a combination of Jake Blues and Samurai Futaba).    Also in an episode of the Blues Brothers fan series i wrote my character Elliot gets transformed into a werebelushi after one of her friends the half cyborg blues brother played by David breaks the rules of the cursed town of Belushitaria,  which Elliot is blamed for and is turned into a werebelushi as a punishment.    In another episode David's character discovers a Belushitarian incantation which can be used to trigger involuntarily transform said werebelushi into werebelushi form,  one part of the incantation translates as "be belushi".     Elliot does turn into a full werebelushi in two other episodes as well,  one of which is the nightmares episode where after the band eats some really badly cooked food from a lackluster eating establishment simply known as I Can't Believe They Call This A Restraunt,    each of them has a nightmare which is to do with the one thing they fear the most -   Elliot one fear is the fear of losing control of her werebelushi instincts and her nightmare shows her in a movie directed by John Landis and she loses control of her werebelushi instincts which causes her to become a full werebelushi during filming and to wreak havoc on the set.    In the other episode she turns into a Full werebelushi in -   she gets frustrated while trying to repair the half cyborg blues brother (David's character) who is malfunctioning and this malfunction causes him to go into Jerk Mode and to insult her,   after numerous attempts at trying to reset him back to his normal Nice Mode -  she gets frustrated and that night she turns into a Full Werebelushi and goes on a full scale city rampage.

It is also noted that I played both characters in their respective "series"  episodes.   Also Scarlett has her own little "lackeys"  in the series,   their names are Grunt and Rangoon,  they first appeared in the episode which tells the story of how Scarlett first joined the Delta house which had her first transformation into her werebelushi form in it.

There was supposed to be an episode where she gets brainwashed and turns into a Wild Werebelushi of sorts and tries to attack her friends,   but i never got around to writting it.

I think one of the members of the Gamma house was a Werejohncandy,   his name was Bounder and he served as a bouncer for the little club most of the other members belonged to.    There was a Grinch guy in Alpha house -   his name was Greenleaf,   Jester and his sister were also were-grinches but  Greenleaf was the main one.

Bloodhound,   who is David's character in the series was part vampire part werewolf.    I remember his name was Aaron Dracula.

There was also one this one member of the Alpha house named Alistair Cowell -   he was the nephew of American Idol judge Simon Cowell and his nickname was Menace,   in addition to being like his uncle right down to the brutal honesty -   he also knew a bit about the dark arts and was sort of a warlock in training.

There was a zombie girl named Siren and she was quite similar to the corpse bride and she was the girlfriend of a zombie guy in alpha house -  said zombie guy was named Zombo like the one in my closet monster gang.

Koalas

I've always been an animal lover but my alltime favourite animal has to be koala,  i love koalas - they're so cute.  

The first time i ever saw a koala was on a British nature series which were filmed at London zoo and hosted by Chris Pachem.    There was also a documentary called King Koala which helped fuel my interest in them,   I remember that there was a male koala named Arnie (after Arnold Scwartzenegger)  and a female koala named Lulu,   and Arnie was competing with this other male koala named Dennis to see who would end up wining Lulu's heart.    Both of them were rescued and looked after by the RSPCA or some other animal rescue organisation.  

I have a brown koala plushie named Lulu -  it was something my beloved nana gave me along with the panda my dad gave me and the little ladybug that would wind up being named Doizee but then named Doizee Jr later on after I purchased that ladybug backpack from Spain.   My old friend Kirsty and I used to play with our koala plushies quite a bit -   hers was named Kiki and she served as the best friend of Lulu (my  koala plushie),   one of the running gags is that i would make Lulu do a silly dance then yell..."Lulu's being silly!"  to which mom or dad would jokingly respond..."Don't be silly,  Lulu."

Being both koala lovers and beanie collectors,  our favorite beanie baby was definitely Mel the koala,  in fact Mel was the first beanie i ever got.    And once i got Eucalpytus -   the two of them immediately became best friends forever.    And when we played with them -  we  often have them acting like boy-crazy teenage girls,  a running gag is that both of them would start chasing any male that came in their direction and yelping..."Elelelellelllel!" before exclaimining..."Boyfriend!"  and kissing their new boyfriends of choice.    I call Mel a she because even though the poem on the tag refers to her as being a male and being named Mel Gibson -   I felt she was more feminine than masculine -   same with Eucalpytus.

One of the children's books i read at a young age had koalas in it,    it was one of the Animal Rescue books -  titled Koala In A Crisis this one was about a girl who helped a stray koala.

I've got many koala related toys and books including several plushes and also a pair of home made koala ears,  i also have the Billabong family which are from the Sylvanian Families range and are a family of koalas.

I used to love the Yowie chocolates,   in fact i first discovered them while on Wahiki Island in New Zealand,  there was a book about one of the Yowie characters -   the particular Yowie character featured in the book was  Nap the honeygum yowie,   he looked a bit like a koala and he lived up in the gum trees.    I had almost all of the animal toys all except the koala one -  no matter how many Yowies my dad bought for me -  it was almost impossible to get the koala,   that is until one day when i got lucky -   now in the Yowie commercial they showed the Bandicoot-like yowie character Boof in his chocolate form and the koala came out of the capsule,  ironically I did not find the toy in that very same Yowie -   i found him in the platypus-like one.

Back when i had all the Puppy In My Pocket type toys,   there was one set i stumbled upon in the toy department at Tesco's -   it was one of the koala family consisting of the mama koala and her children and it came with the treehouse.    After buying it and paying for it -  i took the set home and play with it,  all was happy until that unfortunate thing that happened at bathtime,   when the plug got pulled out -  one of the koala babies got sucked down the plughole and down into the drain where he/she was unfortunately never seen or heard from again.     This  isn't the first time it's happened either,   much earlier -  on a cruise across the River Thames -  one of my Kitten In My Pocket figurines fell right into the river.

I have the Blinky Bill CD Rom games and still play them from time to time,   i used to watch the cartoon series frequently as well.  

The two koala plushies I am frequently seen playing with and cuddling up with are Pookie and Sidney,  now Pookie is an orange TY Pluffie koala  while  Sidney is one i brought from Natures Window.    When I play with them i make it so Pookie is a scientific genius who is working undercover and pretending to be an idiot to trick the bad guys while i make it that Sidney is a complete idiot who can't do anything right and seems to like pickles a lot and will believe almost anything anyone tells him.

I know some pretty amazing facts about koalas.    For instance they sleep almost 22 hours a day,  but they do come out sometimes after sunset.  

Also their name in Aborginal means no-drink,   which means they don't need to drink water to get the nutrients they need  since their main diet of Eucalpytus leaves provides them with the nutrients they need.   And in case you are wondering -  no they are not bears -  people just refer to them as bears because they think they look like them.    The reason they do is to do with when the Europeans first came to Australia -  they saw the koalas and thought they looked like bears -  thus they claimed the koalas were bears and that's why they keep refering to it as a koala bear even though it is not a bear.

Koalas are marsupials which means they are special kind of mammals that live in Australia and have pouches where their young babies or joeys stay until they are old enough to leave on their own -   a koala's pouch opens at the bottom unlike with kangaroos where it opens at the top.   And no -  they do not get drunk or "drugged out"  from eating the leaves.

Also koalas have 4 thumbs on each paw and their fingerprints are almost the same as human fingerprints.

As much as i love koalas,   i have never been up and close to a real one before as i don't live in Australia -  for a while  i wanted one as a pet but upon looking it up recently i  learned that it is illegal to keep them as pets anywhere even in Australia except in the case of zoos and nature reserves.  

  Which is just as well seeing as they could be considered endangered  -  their homes are constantly being destroyed due to bushfires and pretty soon they could end up without any home to live in at all.    Other threats include owls,  dingoes and pythons.    Over 40000 koalas are killed each year by either a car or dog.

Now my dad unfortunately now has the habit of making this one joke about koalas eating people -  specifically Australians -   we all know it isn't true because koalas are folivores and live solely on a diet of Eucalpytus leaves.     I think he must have them confused with their evil counterparts the Dropbears which are described as being large,  vicious carnivorous koalas with sharp teeth that inhabit tree-tops and attack their prey by dropping down onto their heads from above.

I think the odds of koalas eating people to be highly unlikely -   i definitely think dad has them confused with dropbears but not to worry though -  dropbears are just something the Australians make up to frighten tourists.     I don't think we will ever have to worry about koalas of any kind eating people especially  not Australians -  unless of course Peter Jackson decides to return to doing splatter type horror films like the ones he did before he made Lord Of The Rings and fly over to Australia and make a splatter type horror film about killer koalas either killing or eating people using animatronics or something.  

But mind you -  a movie like that would be pretty cool to see though,   it could be sort of like Gremlins or Troll/Troll 2,    they could get Peter Jackson to direct it -  but if PJ's not available  they could get Joe Dante to direct it or Edgar Wright who did Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz -  or maybe they could get Sam Raimi to direct it and give his friend Bruce Campbell a role in it.

Koalas are not only cute,  they're cool and really amazing creatures.    There should be a cartoon series about a group of superhero anthromorphic koalas that fight crime -  something like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but for the Aussie crowd.

About rumours

Although Anon may be gone from deviantart she still trolls me here on blogger and she has 7 or 8 or 9 failblogs including the BAAAAW Blog  and a couple where she has tried to impersonate Natter (including one where she took some of his supposed artwork without permission and posted it there) and one in which she tried to rip-off my own blog with Inside The Lab With Doc G.


I'd also like to point out that nothing she said on her BAAAAW blog entry about me from November 16th of last year is remotely true,   and that i'm not a necrophiliac - i wouldn't even dare think about digging up the body of a dead celebrity i like and doing stuff to them or even think about bringing them back to life.    Also if you are wondering who started the whole blood-sucking, hamster-eating,  two-headed lizard-tailed succubus rumour thing  I did -  as a means of poking fun of myself.

And also it was a sort of Drake and Josh reference as well,  in the beginning of the episode Eric Punches Drake, Drake says that he spread a rumour about Josh telling everyone at school that Josh was on a squirell diet and he spread more rumours about Josh.    

This is the quote i was referencing when i made up those rumours about myself:

Josh: Suddenly, everyone got the idea that I EAT SQUIRRELS!
Drake: I told people at school Josh is on this new squirrel diet.
Josh: Then the rumors got even worse!
Drake: Then, I made up worse stuff.
Josh: Someone told people that after I eat the squirrels, I use their fur to make my own underwear!
Drake: It was all lies.
Josh: Oh! The new rumor about me, and I don't get this one at all. It says that I have an extra toe growing out of my belly button!
Drake: People will believe anything!
Josh: For crying out loud, my belly button is toeless!


And as for the repeating the last word of my sentences for emphasis thing,   that was also a Drake and Josh reference as  Josh did that during seasons 1-3 of the show,    in fact it's kind of a trademark trait of his,    in fact most of the werejoshpecks featured in my monster world stories have that trait too (including Werejoshpeckprince)  and Jason the werejoshpeck and one of the newer recruits of the attic monster gang,    he is also based on a friend of mine who happens to be named Jason and looks like a pre weight loss Josh Peck and has similar traits,    there's also a second werejoshpeck in the group too -  his name is Warwick and he is named after one off my mom's friends who happens to look like a more mature Josh so because of this the character is a more evolved werejoshpeck form known as the Werejosh2.0 (based on the more mature post weight-loss Josh)

Minions

Hello  fans i  hope you all have a happy new year and that you are well,   i'm sorry i  haven't posted in the past several hours and that i've been making fewer posts,   it's just  i've been so very busy and everything.   I had a great christmas and i hope you all did too.

I've been having  lot of fun here and in real life,    for the last couple of weeks i've been visited by this nice woman named Vera (usually on Wednesdays)  and sometimes her friend Betty visits me,   and one of my mom's friends came to visit.

I've been watching a lot of the Nostalgia Critic recently and he is brilliant,  i've also been working on some new photomanips since last time including a koala girl one.

I'll be working on a pig morph for draw2012 sometime today or either tommorow or during the week which will be fun because i've haven't done an Ungulate morph before,   i tend to steer clear of any animal that has hooves -   mainly because of this one nightmare i have in which i get visited by a demon cow.    But the pig morph should be fun to do.

By the way,   I entered the Despicable Me Minion Madness sweepstakes,  i have 431 minions in my army so far and have posted my Mastermind Resume along with a short story and three Halloween Minion drawings as well as playing a few games and watching a few clips.

In case you don't know what the Minions look like,   they are these little guys here

monster power

Despite what you may have heard on metokur,  i  am not a pedophile and i certainly have never worked at McDonalds  - to be honest i don't even go there to eat anymore,   i  haven't been there since the early nineties and i only went there for the happy meals with the toys in them and nothing else,    also  none of my characters are mary sue types.

The reason my monster gang members have superpowers is because they are monsters and the powers that they have match with what kind of monsters they are,    for instance Mitchell is a spellcaster like the Maestro from Ghosts so he can conjour up spirits,  possess people,   turn himself into a ghoul,   turns others into ghouls and stuff like that,      Grincherella is a shegrinch so she has super strength and very keen senses,   she can also turn other people into grinches by scratching them.       Presto has genie-like powers,    Bruce has god-like powers,   Edgar is a Tim Burtonesque demon -  he can turn into his demon form to scare enemies and also can drain their souls.

Each monster has a power that matches with what kind of monster they are.
