Godzilla causes havoc along Highway 40
on November 21, 2007
On November 21, 2007, Godzilla began a trek from Mojave, California to Tucson, Arizona. He made stops along the way, destroying gas stations and sampling aircraft, tractor trailers and fast food restaurant signs. What stirred him to be such a visible force for so great a distance? No one knows.

It started as a peaceful trip from California to Arizona for a family of three. After a filling breakfast at Denny's in Mojave, Farni Mugel bolted back into the restaurant for another bathroom use after being confronted by Godzilla towering just outside in front of the exit door. It was his daughter, however, an accomplished third year high school photography student, who caught the photos of Godzilla snapping off the Denny's sign from its post. Gurshi Mugel showed no fear when behind her digit camera. Clearly, however, Godzilla showed a preference for Denny's over KFC when it comes to signage. With a completely empty bladder, Farni regained sufficient composure to decide to follow Godzilla so that Gurshi could record his further peculiar behavior on film. He didn't have to follow far, because Godzilla spied the adjacent airport and promptly sample tasted an airplane. Most astounding, however, was a first for Godzilla. Never before had he spewed fire - until now. Apparently, he doesn't like Ford products, because a large Ford sign standing nearby was flamed to a crisp. In terror, the Mugel's sped away east on Highway 10, followed by the hideous monster with iron-melting breath, known as Godzilla. Godzilla followed the Mugels to the small town of Ludlow, but not before demolishing an overpass by simply wading through it. After arriving in town, Godzilla continued his rampage. He went straight for a Dairy Queen/76 gas station and ripped the 76 sign out of the ground. He waved it around and played with it before tossing it at some tractor-trailer rigs parked nearby, smashing the hood of one truck. A few cars in the parking lot were also flattened in the process. One young lady had the nerve to stand in the parking lot and snap away with her camera. Two customers were surprised, to say the least, after walking out of the Dairy Queen. Their looks of horror said it all. Needles did not escape notice by Godzilla. He took a liking to a Carl's Jr tractor-trailer rig by dismembering the cab from the trailer and then taking a bite out of the trailer. No one bothered him; he was eating. After the Carl Jr's trailer was gulleted, Godzilla finished off the meal outside the bun, with a Taco Bell sign. Godzilla seemed to be a happy camper and did not rush off for the next stop - Tucson. Instead, he stopped by in Gila Bend. There, he ripped off a Subway sign and destroyed a Shell gas station sign. One wimpy man fainted while a brave woman stood and watched Godzilla do his thang. Yes, there was a trend developing - big "G" likes fast-food but not gas stations or truckers. Tucson was the next stop. There, a nervous motorist snapped a photo of Godzilla dwarfing a multi-story building in downtown. The Mugels, meanwhile, were pulling into the relatives for the week long visit when Godzilla stomped into the neighborhood, demolishing houses as he lazily dragged his feet through homes right and left, right and left, right and left; you get the idea. One boy and his sister went out in the street to see what all the noise was about and were drop-jawed shocked to see Godzilla walking toward them. They tried to warn neighbors, when the big mean bully reached down to grab the boy. Fortunately, his sister left the door to their house open when she ran in to get help. Their two large dogs immediately took advantage of their shot at freedom and escaped. No one messes with their favorite play mate and the made straight for Godzilla who already had a grasp on the boy. Bravely, the dogs started chewing on Godzilla's hand, which prompted the beast to let out a long, loud groink. He let go of the boy in stunned disbelief at the dogs' fearless, vicious attack. There was a happy ending to the kidnapping attempt. Godzilla took off running, but not before taking a beating with a huge rock thrown by the man next door. Godzilla ran away without further incident - and disappeared into the sunset. Godzilla has some personality after all. He favors fast-food signs, but distastes gas stations. He mutilates tractor-trailer rigs as well. Oddly, he shied away from confrontation by other animals and a man throwing a rock. Could it be that Godzilla is more bark than bite in the presence of bravery? Where will Godzilla show up next? No one knows for sure. One things is certain - the truth is out there.
