Friday Night Fights--Joplin Style!!

Time, my friends, for another one of my Friday Night Fights specialties--Man-on-animal-action!! (Fact: I'm still the #1 Google hit for "man-on-animal action." Life is good.)

And, we have to combine that with one of my other recurring motifs, Master of Kung Fu.

And then we have to wrap it all up in music, because Spacebooger has declared that this is G7: Fight Music!!

Hmmm, how am I making to make this all work?? Let's see, Fu Manchu must have something hanging around one of his old fortresses...

Yes!! All right, take it away, Janis Joplin!!

I guess I’m just like a turtle
That’s hidin’ underneath its horny shell.

Whoa, whoa, oh yeah, like a turtle
Hidin’ underneath its horny shell.


But you know I’m very well protected —
I know this goddamn life too well.

Oh! Now call me mean, you can
call me evil, yeah, yeah,

I’ve been called much of some things around,
Honey, don’t ya know I have!

Whoa, call me mean or call me evil
I’ve been called much of some
things, all things around,


Yeah, but I’m gonna take good care of Janis, yeah,
Honey, ain’t no one gonna dog me down.

Well, Lawrence, the turtle was trying to kill him without any provocation.

Ha! I love the Turtle Blues -- and the entire, classic Cheap Thrills album. :-)

Are you sure that's an actual turtle, or is it really Gamera slumming it in a Marvel comic? ;-)

Ha! Mock not the power of Fu Manchu!! He scoffs at your "Gamera"!!!
