The List Of MONTSTRS

[topaz]

I have in my hands a document known as "The List Of Montstrs", apparently penned by my elder son.  It appears to describe a taxonomy of beasts of the nether world.  Whether it is organized by phylum or genus or in order of scariness is not clear to me.

The List Of Montstrs includes the typical montstrs that we are all familiar with, including:

zombes
gosts
vampirs
scalitins
aleins
mumes
banshe
monstr cat

It also includes some of the more obscure members of this family, like:

lung meis
lindorns
vanggl dash
bunyip
joo fret
howsickago
monkfish
wulfucin

But most intriguing of all:

dog with wigs

It's enough to scare me, that's for sure.

Monkfish, schmonkfish! I eat monkfish! I'd eat them for breakfast, if I could find them!

Especially monkfish liver. Mmmmmm. The Foie Gras of the seafood world.

Our favorite sushi joint has given up on providing ankimo. My wife and i are sad pandas.

In fairness to Morgan, monkfish are pretty scary:

I showed this picture to Morgan while discussing the List of MONTSTRS.

His eyes grew wide, and he said:

"THAT... is just cool."

had he seen a monkfish before?

this is disturbing to me because... well, my best friend, baniszew, and i [see icon] had a complicated system of code words to talk about boys, and related things several years ago. it was a combination of tolkien refrences and fish and other aquatic things. And one of my dearest friends was 'monkfish', and i had never actually seen a picture before.

has Morgan seen the octopus-eats-shark video? I bet he'd love it! Luckily we only had a shark in our code words, not an octopus, or that would be really weird.
