I have learned something today that I thought I would share with group. I saw a coin described as Godzilla MOOSE. At first, I thought this was a term someone made up. In google searching, I found an old thread (ten years old) that discussed the terminology. After reading the thread twice, I am still not sure that I have total grasped of the term. Best I can tell, it means Unbeatable. I like @ricko comment, just walk away. That’s what I should of done, just walk away. I wasted time researching. Then I wasted time writing this post. Now you are wasting time reading it. The next time I read a description like this, I will follow @ricko advise. Oh, by the way, why is MOOSE all caps? Never mind, I am walking away.

    @Currin.... :D Yep... Over the years, I have learned that there are things/issues/people just not worth pursuing. Saves a whole lot of time, reduces stress, and allows one to devote efforts to gainful study, companionship or constructive achievements. Cheers, RickO

    We watched the new movie "Godzilla vs. King Kong" last night. Not too bad.

    This morning I read a movie review of it, headlined "When Hairy Met Scaly!"

    If anything, what a fun thread to read as to the membership.

    Another ironic timing related to the posting of this thread.

    FWIW, on a daytime talk show yesterday one of the actors in the movie described the developing relationship between Godzilla and King Kong as a "Bromance." is that anything close to accurate?
