Kaiju Shakedown is going to get its oil changed, its gears lubed and its pores cleansed. Also, all the discolorations and filth that have accumulated on its soul will be bleached out and chipped away. This process will take some time and so this blog will be on hiatus until January 3rd when it will burst out of its cocoon and leap onto your shoulders, screaming, "Boogita Boogita!"

Have a happy holiday everyone, drink a holiday-themed cocktail for Kaiju Shakedown and worship your winter gods of choice in a safe, non-denominational, non-offensive and non-threatening manner. And many, many thanks to all the commenters, sharp-eyed readers, translators, gossip-hounds and lurking readers who make this blog what it is. Without you *sniff* we're nothing.
