You ask what that thing is?! YOU ASK WHAT THAT *THING* IS?! I bet you'd wish to know. (I've been waiting that someone asks). Why, that *thing* is the one and only original Gremlin as referred to by William Shatner ("There's sssssomething on the wing...") in the 1963 "Twilight Zone" episode Nightmare at 20,000 Feet! Yeah, so the options for special effects weren't much to shout about back then. So you take a guy with an Afro, dress him up in old carpets, add a bit of creepy lighting, and you have yourself a Gremlin. So:  + The right ligthing(tm) and Black-and-White-Television =  Incidentally, the company (Sideshow Toys) who made that collectible Action Figure also made the Black Knight collectible Action Figure (You know: "'Tis but a Flesh Wound" and "Come here! I'll bite your legs off!!". Monty Python, of course!) I have. -

Ah, yes. I'm sorry. Of course I should not anger you. What I *should* do is tickle you to death. -

Maybe, maybe not. I'm sure you'd love to know. *puts on the trademark 'International Loon of Mystery' Smile* Just let me say that I am an initiate to the way of the Evil Kneecap Tickle, which so far nobody has been immune to. -

I have a defence against the Evil Kneecap Tickle. It's called running away, very fast.
