Is this guy the reason they’re doing repairs on Stonehenge today?

Due to a conveniently passing cosplayer and his collection of Barbie dolls the Spinal Tap concert was saved.

I see why Drago is so upset; he’s got more than his knickers in a twist. Take a look at those dorsal scales !
On a side note, I wish my “dragon” was that long. I’d get a lot more dates.

A wizard’s staff has a knob on the end. Been waiting forever to use that one.

So Reptilicus came from Stonhenge. It all makes sense now.

Concept art for turning Stonehenge into a mini-golf course. I would go.

@ARY: I now have the song “Tivoli Nights” stuck in my head.
♪ Tivoli nights, oh what a sight. All Copenhagen is dancing …♪

The attempt to cross Subbuteo and D&D never quite came off.
(Although, after ‘The Hundred’, let’s not rule out the ECB looking at it again).

Luckily, Merlin had a special tool for grabbing snooker balls that were a foot out of reach.

Note: There is an actual song about the monster Reptilicus IN the movie “Reptilicus”:

@ARY: You’re talking to a true Reptilicus fan here. I knew about Dirch Passer’s song, and the fact that it was cut from the American release. When I saw the movie at the theater as a wee tyke, they had a lobby card showing Dirch on the park bench singing to kids. And I noticed that the scene wasn’t in the movie. So the only thing to do was to go see the movie again to check whether I had missed something.

This needs two “Behind you!” Tags.

That blurb needs more hyphens and a punctuation tweak:
A brand-new novel-of science-fantasy, witch-lore and messages-from, the stars!

Judith Tarr review, 4/12/2021.
‘Nimue is the distillation of all the misogyny that’s inherent in the Arthurian canon. Whereas other modern writers have recast and revamped the women of the canon, Norton doubles down. All the women are either sluts (her actual word), pregnant and submissive, vessels for alien sperm, actively evil, and/or dead.’

That Merlin is one limp-wristed wizard.

@fred: I’m wary of trusting that review. How can someone be actively evil … and dead?
September 15th, 2021 at 6:10 am
Hands up who didn’t think of Spinal Tap.
@Tor: aren’t angry ghosts evil and dead?
My brother and I saw “Reptilicus” on the Saturday afternoon Creature Feature on our local TV station. Mom used to come in and out, mostly ignoring the TV, but that got her attention. Largely because of its… quality? Even she was dubious of the kaiju possibilities from the Danish film industry.

@Fred – Your patience is rewarded, GSS 😉

Merlin and his magic tomato.
