'Hear English' is a blog that provides podcasts, transcripts and other materials to help people learn English. Find us at http://hearenglishhere.blogspot.com/.My students all drew monsters for a short exercise.  The monsters they drew were excellent and they agreed to write about them for this blog.  This monster is from Vong-Kham Souvannavong:My monster is a Zombie ButcherA zombie butcher is a revolution in the world of nightmares.It means that zombies are not obliged to eat raw meat like uncivilized monsters anymore!My monster is a crazy modern genius inspired by his own hunger! Crazy because he has a butcher knife in his head (he looks like “Zombie Gaga!”) just to threaten humans and to have a monster style, modern because this butcher loves money and genius because he is creating a new world!This monster has the entire key to succeed in his project! But, he’s still very dreadful in appearance!At first glance, he does not inspire confidence: I think it is all about the butcher knife in the brain…There are many humorous (but not politically correct) expressions for being “crazy” or “gaga”.  Here are a few:he’s as mad as a box of frogshe’s as mad as a hattershe’s a few cards short of a full deckhe’s stark raving madshe’s off her rockershe’s as nutty as a fruitcakehe’s (completely) nutsshe’s lost her marbles
