astrozillaboy

Met this 6 yr old kid on the train. He was an angel for a second then he turned into the nightmare visualization of Astroboy. Yina and I were going home on the train from jurong east after class gathering at swensons. He was so cute at first… I stuck my tongue out at him then he stuck his tongue out at me. He was waving his astroboy badge in the air. By the time we got to kranji he was screaming up and down the train carriage and bashing my chest, and jumping about and stepping on my feet and trying to exhume my dead teddybear from its pocket (I told him it was dead hoping he would stop trying to tear it up) and banging on my bag and pretending he was astroboy and that he could fly. And he was shouting things I dunno what they were what I think maybe it is wiser not to know. Thank goodness I had my bag over my legs or else I cannot imagine what kind or sensitive appendage destruction he would do.

astroboy had turned into astrozillaboy...

Ok I admit a bit to playing with him at first and working him up to some sort of adrenaline frenzy…

But I didn’t know I would release astrozillaboy into the unsuspecting MRTland! Quite unexpectedly his mum was just sitting there, half turned away, eyes closed, completely at peace. Yina said she was prob glad I took astrozillaboy off her hands for that fifteen minutes. But I’m no ultraman. The kid was quite chubby cute tho, and I imagine quite lovable at appropriate times.

I think tokyo should invent a roll of Suzuki Duct Tape XXXL so ultraman vega or omega or popcorn or his kernel siblings can just tape up the monsters and dump them into some landfill or something. The monsters never seem smart enough to use their brains if they even have any. If they’re so advanced that they can fly across space then why do they always fall into buildings and lie there wiggling their stupid arms. Stupid monsters. If ultraman cant stand earth’s polluted atmosphere why doesn’t he just fly into orbit and shoot the bloody stupid monsters from space with his laser thingy. I don’t understand. Maybe it’s a conspiracy to get international funding to rebuild tokyo. Then the government keeps some every time aid arrives and Japan prospers without having to produce anything. Except maybe bloody stupid monsters.
