Continuing with Black.....

On the topic of black, came across this when I was walking to the station the other day.

From Misc

Don't know if you'd call it art or not, but I have trouble understanding whether its a picture of a black guy or white guy.

What made me even more confused was the line engraved in at the bottom. "Shock the monkey"

Heres what urban dictionary has to say about this line...

1. shock the monkey

verb, when a person (usually a law enforcement officer) uses an electronic form of non lethal force (usually a Tazer) on an African American, to subdue him or her during an arrest.

That nigger must have been high on crack; he kept fighting off the cops, so they had no choice but to shock the monkey!


2. shock the monkey

When a vibrator short circuits in an extremely hairy vagina, thus literally shocking the monkey. This is actually the inspiration behind the song shock the monkey as Peter Gabriel is an avid fan of this move.

Matt: Yo how was you're date with that chick?
Johnny: You know we were just makin out and shit then she asked me to go into the shower and shock the monkey, my bathroom still smells like burnt hair


3. shock the monkey

To Milk the prostate, utilizing a finger inserted into the rectum and the prostate physically manipulated to produce a more intense than normal ejaculation

He let his girlfriend shock the monkey last night. What a mess!

4. shock the monkey

When a redneck pees on a spark plug

Hey Billy Bob d'you hear bout Billy Joe. He done shock the monkey an nearly kill'd he'self

5. shock the monkey

(verb)
the same as shake the monkey but much much harder

Seriously girl, you really gotta shock the monkey before it drags you back to the German jungle.


6. shock the monkey

To have sex with an extremely ugly girl.

Speaker 1: I can't believe Nico is hanging with that girl, she's gross.
Speaker 2: haha, he's gonna shock the monkey.

In other news, finally received employee id card, and attached to that, was this card as well.

From Misc

Promoting you're environmental policy by printing it on a plastic card. Great!
Its like printing "Stop using plastic bags" on a plastic bag, and handing it out to people.

Now on the topic of green, feast your eyes on this

From Gunpla

Just a little prep work for the MG 00 raiser.

As some of you may remember, I covered a bit about the HG 00 raiser in a previous post

Today, we'll have a look at the MG.
So far, we'll be looking at the inner frame of the kit.
Next to MG exia

From Gunpla

Compared to the exia frame, which was quite sloppy and loose even oob, the 00 frame is nice and sturdy.

Theres also a lot of improvement with articulation.
For starters, we'll have a look at the torso.
Exia torso has very limited amount of roll for either side.

From Gunpla

The 00 frame almost doubles the range of roll movement

From Gunpla

One of the strangest parts of the exia was also an incomplete frame.
Being one of the more modern bandai MG's, the exia's legs had a few problems.
As you can see from the following picture, the parts which are separated aren't actually attached together properly, and can fall apart without armor holding it together.

From Gunpla

Given that we know bandai can make full inner frame kits, eg Zaku 2.0

From Gunpla

there shouldnt have been any reason as to why they couldnt make the same for a newer kit.

Thankfully, the MG 00 has it all.

Range of leg movement for MG exia

From Gunpla

Range of leg movement for 00

From Gunpla

Arm movement also excellent

From Gunpla

Now back when I did a quick review of the HG 00, Sum was complaining how robot yoga looked weird. So heres a bit more, with the MG instead. ^^

Oddly enough, the MG cant strike the God gundam pose with legs crossed while standing.

From Gunpla

But then again, REAL men stand with their legs apart.

Well, thats the review of the 00 frame out of the way, next post would be with the armor attached.

Nazis on Dinosaurs....the best counter attack

Ok, for starters, I dont have a 1:144 Geara Zulu, and my MG Zaku was too fat to fit on the GenoBreaker, so I used the Reborns instead. Atleast their colour scheme matches

From Gunpla

Now the best counter measurement?
Ta Da~

From Gunpla

Now normally, the GN-Arms-E should be have been docked with the Exia instead, but I did a test fit, and it looked weak and lame.

From Gunpla

The 00 just seems much more agressive

From Gunpla

Now in order to make every thing work, some modifications had to be made. Specifically, the plug to hold the 00 in place.
This is the plug which is supposed to cup over the Exia's GN Drive. Note that this isnt the thing that holds up the Exia while docked.

From Gunpla

There is a secondary arm which fits under the units crotch. The arm didnt really work for the 00, so had to make the changes.

From Gunpla

Yeah yeah, it looks strange, but atleast its strong enough to hold up the whole 00, on ball socket joint.

Here we have some pics of the GN-Arms itself. Without any unit docked to it, it kinda resembles a Giant space crab. Initially, i had always wondered how big it would be compared to the GenoBreaker. Well, as the unit is on a stand, it seems to be taller than the breaker. But when you take it off the stand, it is slightly shorter.
Over all, the GN Arms should take up more volume, but with everything extended out, it looks kinda like an empty shell, where as the dinosaur is completely packed.

From Gunpla

In cruising mode.

From Gunpla

Other things done this week.
Made a slight modification to my 00's knee cap
Originally, the 7 sword knee cap was designed to carry 1 GN katar each. Since i had 4 katars, and only 2 legs, well, it wouldnt really hurt to put the other two on. Right?

PG ( . Y . ) Gundam part 1

Once again I must say its been a while since I last posted *this is starting to become a bad habit XD* but I hope as usual I can make up for my lack of presence with something good - to me atleast.

A few already know that I have recently purchased the Perfect Grade 00 Gundam through unsavory means, no I did not bash a hobo for it but when the day comes that hobos carry gunpla I will.

And like usual I wont do much of an intro and just talk about what I have done thus far...in this case not much. You might also remember that Cameron wanted to go to the Central Coast last Sunday but due to bad weather and general overall lack of commitment from anyone the outing was pushed back. So what did we do? WE GROUP BUILD OUR ARSE OFF WHILE LISTENING TO MISS A nottaeme jakkuman nae gasumi!!!!

ok w/e. Anyways so we (me Tofu and Chung) headed over to our home away from home AKA Tim's place with Chung bringing along his freshly purchased MG EX-S and Tim's 90 yro PG Strike we got down to business.

I wont talk much about the kit but rather just post some lazy pictures of the progress I make.

So first off we have the inner frame of the torso

From PG 00

Looks simplistic but took a few hrs of labour and too many parts.

...aaaaaaand its about the size of the MG ball

From PG 00

By the time I was done with the torso Tim wont shut up about all the linked movement and mechanical detail on his Strike's leg and Chung mangled his EX-S I skipped to constructing the legs and as you can see its pretty fucking big.

From PG 00

Again a size comparison this time with the sexy SIC Kabuto which I never blogged about

From PG 00

That's about all I did before hungry over took us and we headed off for some lunch (which sucked)

and please close your eyes as you imagine the most incredible wrap up to this post.

Funnel Wars

Well I'm back in action!!!
And today, presenting the MG Strike Freedom!
Its almost been a year since i bought this kit, and it was only till today that i gathered up the energy to build it.
Perhaps it was because I previously overloaded on building 5 00 Gundams just to equipt a single unit with as much shit as possible.

From Gunpla

Im sure most of you readers would have seen the MG Strike Freedom before, so i bother posting too many pictures (unless requested).
But here is the final product.
With the Dragoons on display, it makes the whole unit quite big.

From Gunpla

The total foot print would probably go beyond the size of the MG Ex-S, which is one of the biggest MG gundams out there.
Then again, the same could be said for other MS with remote bits

From Gunpla

The MG Hi-Nu, also occupies quite alot of space when the fin funnels are displayed.

Close up of the chest orb
In the photo, it looks like that the light lights up the whole orb
However, it looks like that due to the slow shutter speed used on the camera. In reality, only the words light up.

From Gunpla

Now heres some pics of exia posing with the lights on

With the room lights turned on, it doesnt seem very bright

However, switch the lights off, and its a completely different story. In the dark, these LEDs are BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT!!!
