megatron's head...

yes, it would appear that i am STILL going on...

further to earlier megatron's head related rant, there is no way that you can tell me this its an appropriate head for the ultimate bad-ass decepticon leader...

this ultimate bad-ass decepticon leader...

with this head...

yeah right... that's just cracked off!

lets be honest about this, it looks like the weight of his head is going to pull it over to one side at any minute... either that, or he is wearing an ultra-hard-wearing granny hood...

i'm not overly fussed on the pattern either, but am willing, on this occasion, to let it slide...

especially when we take into the consideration the body that it was put upon...

indeed...

it truly beggars belief...

but, on the plus side, it does reinforce my 'pop' theory about how kids perceive cool...

"ain't no kid wants to be luke skywalker"

and

"there's a reason all the kids had optimus prime"
(and its nothing to do with mispronouncing it octopus!)

i think its pretty self evident, but if its not, the best way to get an in-depth explanation is to track me down and get me wasted... its like proper pop headology (or something)

i promise to lay off the megatron for a while...

peace-out y'all

the quadrilogy, and superdumbification...

LOST - GOAT! 
last seen in the DY1, possibly eaten by one of dudley's wild (wild) horses...
may never have existed in the first place...

i always wanted 'malkara' to be a word... with a whole lot of wanting-ness (the wiki tells me that its a type of missile, but this is not the kind of word i want it to be...). i even tried just dropping it into conversation occaisionally... it works fairly well as an insult, less well in other contexts, thus...

"yeaman thats well malkara" is a lil' to ambiguous even when judged to the standards of contemporary street lingo...

"f**k off you malkara" when given a lil' spit and venom is still ambiguous, but both effective and offensive...

but once again, i did digress (me, wander off with it... at my age? with my reputation?)... i guess the point that i am trying to make is that i never actually tried to pass it off as real...

if we all start making up words, then we'd just end up talking incomprehensible gibberish... (more-so than usual obviously)

like quadrilogy... i properly dislike that word... i gives me a proper case of the wtf's...

that bastion of stored knowledge wiki, (yeah i know it would never do for an essay but whatever...) suggests that it was first used in 1865, what i definitely know is that it was popularised with the release of the alien dvd box set some time in the soon before...

why do i dislike this word so much?
a - because there's already a word for a series of four, tetralogy
b - its an awkward bastardisation of greek and latin, and yes i know there are plenty of them around, like television, but in most cases they are words which have been coined to describe a new invention and... see a

i am not some kinda stickler adverse to growth and change in a language...

but i don't dig the whole laziness and dumbing down vibe that's going on...

there is a series of words to describes series of different sizes, we as a society mastered trilogy (star wars was a trilogy, no language mashing confusion there...), so why should tetralogy be some damned difficult?! i don't say that 2x2 = y unless i'm being a pedantic bastard, because it has been establlished that its 4...

sometimes i guess you just gotta have standards

...otherwise you end up in a world with misspelt signs and random apostrophes all over the place.

and then we are only one step away from misspelt acronyms...

and that, is superdumbification.
