I have some of the
strangest dreams. Last night I was dreaming about a friendly conversation with someone... okay, it was
E. Anyway, we were talking about why
Godzilla continually destroyed
Tokyo. This was a
very realistic dream as
E and I often discuss such
esoteric and philosophical topics in our daily interactions. Anyway, it then came up of how the
Japanese would probably pronounce
Godzilla. (WARNING: Very
Politically Incorrect Dreaming Ahead!) Of course, they would say "god - zirra" since we all know
how difficult a time the Japanese have with pronouncing L's. And then my dream self noted that the "illa" was the same as in the
Spanish word
quesadilla so
Godzilla probably should be pronounced "god-zee-ya". And isn't it strange that
Godzilla seems to always
rise out of the ocean from the east... as if he walked all the way over from... (gasp!) ...
MEXICO! All of a sudden the whole
Godzilla mythos and all the
unexplained phenomena of the universe made all the
perfect sense in the world to my dream self.
Godzilla was
Mexican and he was
pissed off that the
Japanese couldn't pronounce his name correctly and he was going to continue to stomp the crap out of
Tokyo until they got it right. ¡Arriba! ¡Qué lástima!
