what's wrong. dude, you just had to poke the eye out of a 10 ft tall centipede, your coworker is off telling a pregnant lady her husband was eaten by a 10 ft tall centipede, and you're about to push off to hunt a 10 ft centipede. are you serious?
Two years sounds about right to get over a pilot who was stationed in San Diego.
Gail and the monster are the best actors in this AFAICT #monsterdon
To make sure it's dead, we're going to do the equivalent of carpet bombing with depth charges.

"What did your husband do?"
He DIED, dipshit. Try to keep up. #Monsterdon
"Dude!! Uncool!! I was just coming to tell you about Big Bear, I can only assume you've never heard of it if you're in a boat on the Salton Sea.... omg that was my EYE wtf?? I never should have taken this job with the California Tourist Information Bureau" #Monsterdon

Dude: 'would you like a cigarette?'
Ah, itβs the Navyβs good old standard βconducting explosive testsβ line. Weβre on to them now.
Is the science guy just wearing clothes they found washed up on the beach? That jacket looks like it had a previous owner of a very different size.
Oh we got boats on land too. Damn those 50s station wagons are big. Almost half the size of a modern pick up.
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld
"Where's Doctor Rogers?"
"He's in the Radio Shack."
"Probably looking at that fool Battery Club again. Or maybe some R/C cars."
He's in the Radio Shack?
Oh shit the pregnant lady is here. Everybody be cool. #Monsterdon
Yep the routine tests that always alays suspicion, everyone will believe that.
#TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #Monsterdon
I do love the look of those old cars
"Where's George?!" "He's chum, Jim"
The monster now has no depth perception and is completely harmless.
I SAID COMPLETELY HARMLESS.
On the other hand, we now have a good baseline for this movie -- the creature is NOT better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. #Monsterdon
Hot parking action! #Monsterdon
I miss Radio Shack! #Monsterdon
It looks like they spent all of $5 on this monster
Tanks for nothing John.
"Could you sign these, Doctor?"
Um, Doc, you might want to read it first? Just saying...
#Monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld
He's shrimp food, ma'am. #Monsterdon
Routine tests of underwater explosions & THAT is going to chill people out about no swimming? #Monsterdon
"Where's George?" "He... I'm sorry... he got too curious."
And we've got the coverup.
[ creature scream ]

Did the Salton Sea have fish back in that time? Was it already polluted?
If so, what did Salty eat?
I hesitate to check off "Charmingly Bad 'Sea Monster'" on the bingo card because I don't even think it's bad, but I suppose this qualifies
You sure you wanna go back right away where your buddy got et?
