    Godzilla Meets A Shoplifter

    I belong to a model railroad club called Japan Rail Modelers. This past Saturday we had our layout on display at the Sakura Matsuri Japanese Street Festival in Washington, DC. Part of our display is an 5 foot high inflatable Godzilla. As you can see, Godzilla is an honorary member of the club, has his own name tag, and loves to pose for photographs with visitors.

    Mid afternoon, I looked over to where he was standing and saw that his name tag had disappeared. It was clipped on the lanyard, and could not have fallen off. Someone unclipped his nametag and ran off with it.

      Thanks. It's the first time in 8 years we've had something swiped.

        Too bad Godzilla didn't make a light lunch of them.

          People will still anything. I think I may have mentioned before, when I was about 12 we went on an outing to some old "ghost town". In front of the old church was a sign consisting of 10 separate pieces of wood, with the 10 commandments. Yep, someone had stolen "Thou Shalt Not Steal".

          Madness takes it's toll....
          Please have exact change ready.

            That's gonna bring down some special Judgment (yes, with the capital letter), there. And not the kind where you get sent to the "special hell" either.

              Remember, the Bible has some mighty specific things to say about killing. But it's a little fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

                This really makes me wonder -- given the nature of the club, does his name tag say "Godzilla" or "ゴジラ" (Gojira)?

                  It said "Godzilla," although we call him "Goji." I will suggest that the replacement nametag be two-sided with both names.

                    Dammit, this wasn't happening when I first posted, but now his song is stuck in my head...

                    ~~ Ooooh no! There goes To-ky-o! Go, Go, Godzilla! ~~
