Another Cuddly BOOJUM! Creature Debuts -

The Hydra
Allow me to present to you, gentle reader, the Lernean Hydra, a real cutie if ever there was one:

Okay, you got me,  I lied about "Cuddly" and "Cutie"

     Possibly rather too large to make a good domesticated pet, it can also make dinner disappear 7 times faster than any other creature, on account of it's seven heads, but since it only has the one stomach, it isn't that expensive to feed.  Splendidly effective as a guard-dog - which burglar is going to hang around faced by over 500 fangs? - it can also double as a tow-vehicle.  Just not in heavy traffic.

Actually What I Really Want To Refer To Is This HYDRA:
The sinister opposition to SHIELD, with the sigil -

Just the point I wanted to get across!

     Let's just put that motto up in lights:"Cut off a limb and two more shall take it's place"
     Please note how I have correctly apostrophised this motto.
     HYDRA are seen in the opening of "Avengers: Age of Ultron", getting the snot kicked out of them for a good twenty minutes, in case you want a reference.  Now, Director Nick Fury, can we have a response to HYDRA's motto?
     DNF:  You bet you sweet ass you can!
     Conrad: Language, sir, language.  BOOJUM! is SFW and small children.
     DNF: Really?
     Conrad:  Yes, really.
     DNF (sarcastically): Really?
     Conrad:  Yes, still really.  Director, I write these scripts.  I will always come out - OW!
     DNF (Rubbing knuckles): Didn't see that one coming, did you, Conad.
     Conrad:  It's CONRAD - hang on, how have you managed to hijack my blog?
     DNF (taps eyepatch): I could tell you.  But then I'd have to kill you.
     Conrad (nervously): Ah, look, can we get back on topic?
     DNF (laughing): I was only messing with ya!  Sure, my response to HYDRA.  Thanks for the heads-up, HYDRA.  That leaves me free to gas, poison, electrocute, explode, flamethrower, bludgeon or drop you from height.

Not - I repeat NOT - a man you want on your arse

The Avengers Vs. HYDRA
Let's analyse how The Avengers would fare against HYDRA, by looking at their various modus operandi*.
     Thor had Mjolnir, which you can classify as Bludgeon Writ Large, whilst the Hulk has his fists (each about the size of a fifty-gallon oil drum) which deliver Bludgeon, in vast amounts.  Try growing back after being turned into a thin red paste!  Iron Man - laser!  The Vision - twin lasers!! (refer to "flamethrower").  Try growing back after being turned into ash!  Hawkeye - he probably has umpteen varieties of Exploding Arrows, Electrocuting Arrows, Gas Arrows and Napalm Arrows.  Captain America has his indestructible Vibranium Shield, useable as a Bludgeon, although you'd have to warn him off against using the rim, as it would then become an edged weapon.  Black Widow would just use a gun.  Or, perhaps, neck-breaking sneaky karate moves.  Scarlet Witch - pummelling the evil minions with telekinesis and sending them round the bend at the same time.
     Oh - Thor and Iron Man?  "Drop from height".  You wouldn't grow back from that.

I didn't include Quicksilver because -  (spoiler)**

What's The Opposite Of Writer's Block?
Blogorreah!

The raw material of BOOJUM!

     I'm not going to explain it, you'll just have to look up "logorreah" on teh interwebz.
     This is certainly the case tonight - there's about three blogs worth of material there.

At Last!  It All Makes Sense!
If you have any long-term memory, you will recall Conrad banging on about the fifth-storey level light bulbs at The Electric Goldfish Bowl, and how they were only replaced after considerable delay, viz:

Still out, and has been for weeks.  Now I know why.

     I now understand that these bulbs are replaced by people with - not ladders or slings or rapelling ropes - but TELEKINESIS!
     That is, the ability to remotely move matter at a distance without any physical contact.
     Who have we encountered tonight who has telekinesis?
     The Scarlet Witch!
     It's so obvious now - she has her Avengers crime and supervillain opposition schedule to adhere to, so she can only come to replace these bulbs on a very irregular basis.

So - Did Neanderthals Have Fire?
According to a quick Google, yes they did indeed, and around the 400,000 years ago mark.  I shall have to inform the Lovely Ladies who Lunch.

Kebab-time for Mrs Neanderthal

Shakeshaft
Ah, the relish with which I lay into the Beard Of Avon!  What pithy and ascerbic rebuttal do we have tonight?

"To be or not to be, that is the question -

No it isn't! It's "how to cure my indigestion?"

     Yeah, Bill, Gaviscontemplate that one.

Oops!  Up to 800 words and there's loads left to type up.  Maybe tomorrow.
