    What was with the whole monster in the dungeon? I guess he escaped and killed a guy. Then? I assume he&#39;s settled down in a small cottage on the edge of town and sells knitted hats to passers-by. #monsterdon

    That basement is very large and hanger like. Can&#39;t imagine how they can heat it on a frugal castle operations budget. #monsterdon

    Well, if he manages to raise his mistress from the dead, he at least still has all his wife&#39;s evening gowns to assume her old look. #monsterdon

    The Doctor, Discount William Shatner, is back! And he&#39;s had his shock of grey hair enhanced. #monsterdon

    I&#39;ll bet he&#39;s bringing back the cleavage babe from the first scene. At least he has his priorities straight. #monsterdon

    I almost started tooting about #Monsterdon, thinking it was Sunday. Hey, I&#39;m 24hrs ahead in the timeline. Accidental time travel.

    Not often up well before sunrise. Ever notice how dark it is when the sun can&amp;#39;t reach this side of the planet?

    At this point, may I recommend just shooting wildly around the house? #monsterdon

    &quot;My husband is insane with jealousy. That&#39;s why I&#39;ve latched on to the first strange man that I met in the hallway.&quot; #monsterdon

    They&#39;ve got very effective candles in 1959. #monsterdon

    Checking some online inflation calculators, it suggests the $10k payoff in 1959 would be about $53k today. Hmmm, seems a little low. #monsterdon

    Back before the US went totally off the rails, I had a long-running idea to do a visit to NYC just as a big snowstorm was coming. I imagined a small hotel with a good view and hunkering down with food and warm clothes to experience the digging out after a big snow. Prob diff than my city after a big storm, and discovering how diff would be fun. Not planning to visit again until the fascism fails, but sounds like this week would&#39;ve been a good one for that.

    Well, the feature tonight on Monsterdon was a time travel flick, which is one of my favourite sci-fi genres, but this one really earned its IMDB rating of 3.7/10. 😂 Totally abandoned logic in the last quarter, contrived a long drawn-out footage-replay montage, then abruptly ended, just dropping any remaining thread of a plot. But the terrible movies are what makes #Monsterdon fun.

    If they try to &quot;bring back&quot; the accidental time travellers to the present plus or minus 24hours, they could come back yesterday, which is before they left. #Monsterdon

    Our time circuits have fused again, and we&#39;re stuck on the PBS feed again. #Monsterdon
