You know what I don’t miss? Parent teacher conferences.

Most of Rocketkid’s teachers were lovely, but we had two that still stick out in my mind as sad/hilarious.

The first one, he was in elementary school. The teacher said it was ‘important’ for us to come in.

1/
So we worried about that for two days until the meeting. What could be wrong? It’s scary for parents to be left hanging like that.

So we meet his teacher, goatee and sunglasses...we live in the boonies and yet there’s something here like he’s trying to be a player.

2/
Not like a lady-player, like he’s got an image of himself in his head. We like teachers, but this guy’s manner is just weirdly kind of pushy a little bit.

Anyway, we sit does in the kid chairs, he’s behind his desk, again, weirdly focused on ‘power,’ somehow.

No idea why,

Okay! Today, we wanted something fun and light for #TabletopGails today, and we chose this...GODZILLA MONOPOLY from @TheOpGames!

I know what you’re thinking, just boring old Monopoly, right?

Turns out, we had a blast. :)

Even if you are not a huge fan of Monopoly, I have to say, we had a blast with this set.

First, we got rice crackers for snacks, we played Showa Era- Godzilla soundtracks for atmosphere, and it was just sheer kaiju fun from the minute we opened the box. Godzilla bucks!

2/ Image
There are two sure things with this company’s games...they are beautifully designed and the components are always top-flight.

You have six classic kaiju tokens and a first-class presentation of all the pieces. The board is also gorgeous.

Guys.

Remember a couple weeks ago when I asked for suggestions for good tabletop games to play during quarantine?

And remember when I said a bunch of nice game designers and publishers offered to send me stuff?

And remember when I said I could fit them all on my table?

Well, I wasn’t kidding.

I have this wonderful idea of Junji Ito hosting a show on Animal Planet and it’s just weird fucking real-life Junji Ito animals set to weird music.

Now on Animal Planet immediately following all those damn Meerkat shows...

Cons in other countries don’t separate comics people from the celebrities. So you often spend a week between two cons, getting to know actors, wrestlers, and other famous people.

We always found nearly all of them lovely people.

Guess which group consistently wasn’t?

:)

1/
It wasn’t actors. In general, they have nearly all been really sweet people.

Guess again.

2/
It wasn’t wrestlers. I have had zero bad experiences with any of the wrestlers I’ve met and quite a few were above-and-beyond lovely to their fans.

Guess again.
