LOL..... I just watched that movie a few days ago. I think it was TCM that was running a string of monster movies like Godzilla, Mothra, etc.

A good size bug or a wasp/hornet/bee in the face can instantly add 250 words to your vocabulary....

Isn't eye protection mandatory for m/c riders in every state...?? Good thing he didn't lose it & crash, or take an eye out...

after seeing what a bird did to my buddies leg I would hate to find out what anything would do to my eye. I ride with a half helmet but always have on glasses. The worst thing I have taken was a secada to the cheek and I thought about having to pull over for a second or two.
