That army of undead cyborg squid-human hybrids idea? It looks like it might be old hat. Owlmirror found an old and rather cryptic Japanese print of armored warrior cephalopods…and there's a much, much higher resolution image of the same at that link. I can't quite make out what they're fighting, though…an army of dumplings? Meatballs? Who reads Japanese out there?

My today is stupid. There are many reasons for this, but I will focus my ire on people who park at stop signs and stoplight traffic creep.
Matilda, for reals? Love it! My (good) grandmother was Grace Matilda.
Matilda was actually my cat's name (still is her name, she's just someone else's cat now). But we're not naming the baby after the cat. Rather, the cat and the baby are both named after Roald Dahl's
Matilda,
which I have loved for ages and which also happens to be one of Emmett's favorite Dahl books (and one of his favorite movies), and anything that will make Emmett feel more kindly disposed toward his prospective sibling is very much of the good.
Which means that if the Halloweenie turns out, four sonos to the contrary, to be a boy, we may have to go with Wyatt Earp Smay. But we'll cross that bridge when and if we come to it.
You can call her Mattie for short! (My mother's name, BTW.)
But we're not naming the baby after the cat.
Likely story.
You guys could totally pull off a Wyatt -- total hipster name.
I know a Wyatt toddler, and it is a very cool and awesome kid name.
I'm for it. I feel like Smay lends itself to cool names anyway.
