Daikaiju!!!


Every town's gotta have something it can call its own. Some have Strawberry Festivals or Onion Pie Cook-offs or Unicycle Derbys.  Well around Spring time, everyone in my childhood home of Greenleysburg Township get ready to watch King Ghidorah (キングギドラ), devour heavy farm equipment with its three dragon heads. 

The Kaiju monster was made famous by the classic 1964 Godzilla film "Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster". Since that time, he has been doing freelance destruction of small villages. He has allowed us to live in peace and prosperity as long as we grease up a piece of heavy machinery (such as the Komatsu PC 228 US-3 Excavator shown above) with good quantities of Grumpy's Black Label Private Reserve BBQ Sauce and leave it for him to destroy and devour at the start of each harvest. 

While the "King of Terror" may seem an unwelcome guest, we've all come to love him as he assures our personal safety, provides employment for 2/3 of the township, and has universal health care available to all residents for the cost of one sacrificed heavy equipment operator per biannual period (dental and optical coverage not included).
