If only Proposition 14A had not been defeated the world might come out of this challenge intact. #monsterdon
proposition 14A:
Lol - I love how the switchboard operator is always on the phone with her mom.
I love how passive-aggressive this librarian guy is.
He is the evil priest of the monster cult, isn't he?
Mr. Dobbs, stop being super creepy and help us.
I'm a very cooperative person, UNLESS YOU WANT TO GO IN THE BASEMENT, THEN YOU NEED A WARRANT. #monsterdon
California issues, going overboard on propositions
Meanwhile some cops are farting around driving around the sea, where they encounter a torn shirt guy who screams "Mary Jane" and then passes out; the cops discover more monster cum... I mean... um... Defensive Snail Juice inside his shirt. When they inspect the inside of his shirt.
Meanwhile, at the 4077th...
A Surprise Mexican Child appears to scam the Navy Commander by selling him a pen, then taking his money, not giving him the pen and running off. But it's not actually a scam, he comes back and offers him a choice of pens.
This is a welcome break from the boring dinner conversation, which somehow makes Secretary 2 extremely wet so she's like "oh plz take me home right now!"
@Binder It's a longvines - never heard of them, but kind of a Rolex like plugola
#Monsterdon
Stop calling me Mary Jean! You're delirious!

What happened?
Nothing has happened for the last 15 minutes!

It's only quarter after 10. Hence the direct light from overhead.
Chekovs pen...
wanted to be a cop to oppress others until he realized the military does it more #monsterdon
He's serious on the outside, but a ticklish bear underneath
@ezra it's this week's #Monsterdon monster :P
I'm sure nothing bad will happen to the two redshirts. #monsterdon
Well, well, well
Was this before the concept of leftovers had been invented?
I hope the monster comes out of the wishing well... but i doubt it will

you can see why she is so into this guy, he is giving her absolutely nothing #monsterdon
Anybody want some federal bank stakeout? :blobfoxcofe:
"Scotty stop trying to make "Nothing But Moonlight" happen we're not interested in your country western career."
Not completely sold on this monsters being all that much of an existential threat to humanity as they seem to be very vulnerable to sticks.
MULTIPLE DUCKS
When your only defining characteristic is talking to your mother on the phone
#monsterdon #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld #TheMonsterThatChallengedTheWorld1957
DUCK
In this scene, the science master explains everything.
We discover that the monster cum is actually Defensive Snail Juice.
Also, the danger is that the giant monsters will walk to a nearby canal and then conquer the world, despite us not seeing any of them walk before.
Consulting a Life Magazine we learn that shrimp can hatch from dormant eggs, and the science master concludes that the monsters hatched from dormant eggs left over from millions of years ago.
"moonlight becomes you, sarge"
You NEVER change your mind? Jesus, Gail. Read a book.
The Commander makes his move...
If there were only 99,000 people in this valley, everyone would take the news calmly.

"They're snails, doc. Just admit these are snails."
Pretty sure that flesh is a melon.

"From the instant they're born, they're hungry."
Yes, so unlike any other animal.

@wohali Is THAT where all the white stuff came from #Monsterdon
The Commander like's his 'Will Riker' pose, doesn't he?
Bad News: there's a monster in our lake that is eating all of our swimmers and cumming on all of our rocks and boats.
Good News: said monster is vulnerable to long sticks.
"We're about ready to shove off. Can he talk her through her grief in the next three minutes?"
For an urgent situation of life-and-death proportions, there's a lot of "We'll see you in the morning" scenes in this. Everyone punching out on the clock at every opportunity.
The diver comes up and screams about a monster, then realizes that the giant salt crystal is one of its eggs. The monster surfaces so we attack it with harpoons and stab its eye, which looks appropriately gross.
Mad that it lost its eye, the monster retreats into the sea.
Yes, ineffectually poke at it, that'll work
Good thing nobody in this navy carries weapons.
βMy eye!β
#monsterdon
Monsters, monsting
That's the monster? Is it boring it's victims to death? #monsterdon
OH, YES! The monsterβs gonna get βem!
Where are those humans going with my jello mold?
Okay they have GOT to stop sending divers down to be eaten one after another, stop it!
Monster is pissed because that wasn't the same ladybug

A condom this huge can only mean....
there's a hole at the bottom of the Salton Sea
I see some light, we're breaking through, there's tile work.... SLIME!!! ITS A RIVER OF SLIME!!!

If you see Johnny Quest down there, shoot a harpoon at him
I'M SCREAMING INTO THE RADIO FOR SOME REASON

"Mort? Morty? Mortenstern? Morty Morty Moe Morty, Banana Fana Foe Forty?"
The Monster is part of the local morality police, whipping teenagers for impure thoughts...
what about rick? how's rick doing
Oh, they are DEFINITELY getting eaten
Having examined enough ladybugs, the commander guy goes to the county morgue to learn about the bodies they found in the sea, where the coroner explains that they were punctured and drained of blood and now their skin is like leather. Also, the guy on the boat died of a stroke, which was caused either by either 'Anger' or 'Fear', both things that i didn't think can call strokes.
The coroner then offers them mortuary sandwiches, so they leave.
#monsterdon
@cocaine_owlbear California isn't exactly known for giant worms, either :P
Closing the beaches? Panic on the fourth of July!
Lemme guess, he kidnaps a lady bug and pisses off every other creature on earth triggering a monster attack? Sounds like my story.
MechaLadybug #Monsterdon #TheMonsterthatChallengedTheWorld πΎπ₯
Anger, fear, and NOTHING ELSE. That's SCIENCE. #monsterdon
I think strokes come from more than 'violent anger and fear' doc....
This movie has at least one pipe in it. The 1950s was the era of men smoking pipes. I think.
What about really complicated bleeding?
I did not tell you to LOOK IN to it!
Look AT the microscope
βHey, why does my ladybug have a different number of spots?β
Can't believe I got distracted and missed the lab stuff to critique!
Though I did spot a lattice/monkey bar set-up, which is always neat!
Oh, underwater vampires
"Oh I didn't forget it, Sandy. I ate it. Crunch crunch! Now fuck off!"
Pregnant? Around radioactive monsters?
Kid will be the monster in the sequel. Or a superhero.
Eww. Don't say "secretion" π€’ #monsterdon
"Would you say the water in the sea could be radioactive"
Wouldn't they know this? Like radiation monitoring is sort of standard with atomic testing, right?
She can type AND she's a mommy? That's a 1950s renaissance woman!
