No, seriously. When one is referring to Vazra, the phrase “wide-eyed and bushy-tailed” is more than a cliché, more than a cheap phrase bandied about on loose lips. It’s a true description of him. Don’t believe me? Take a look for yourself.

Due to the combination of angle, light, and his bouffant coif, this photo made me laugh so heartily that I broke into a painful coughing fit. I didn’t care. It’s so funny. I find the photo amusing because it reminds me of a very, very, very bad science fiction movie called Critters. It’s not just a B movie; it’s one of the most horrible film creations ever conceived—and then they made a bunch more to boot. Bah!
I never watched the first one the whole way through. I barely tolerated it long enough to see the alien invaders roll into fluffy balls so they could move about. At that point, I had already burned far too many brain cells. Rubbish, I say, pure rubbish!
But if you’ve ever seen the film, perhaps you’ll understand why this photo made me think of Vazra as one of those overly-furred, rolls-into-a-ball-to-move, terrible examples of Hollywood puppetry that wouldn’t entertain five year olds if it were the last thing on Earth they could watch. He looks like a big head with too much fur standing on a tiny pair of feet jutting out beneath him.
I want to wish everyone a happy New Year celebration. Be safe and careful, mindful always of your own limits as well as the many fools who have already passed theirs.
Let 2007 begin and progress as a year of wonder, respect, and responsibility. Set your sights high but never lose track of where each step must land to carry you forward. Do not let your advancement be upon the backs of others, or at the expense of this planet that has sheltered us and provided for us despite our uncaring abuse.
And finally from The Kids, a presentation of holiday faces as they wish you Happy New Year!
From top to bottom: Grendel, Loki, Kako, Kazon, and Vazra.
