Don't ya just wish...

...that one day someone will actually discover the real Loch Ness Monster, or chupacabra, or Bigfoot? Or maybe somebody will figure out just what the Hell this thing is? A hoax? Probably. More likely a dead dog or raccoon or something.

I want to live in a world where the unknown, the myths, the monsters could possibly exist. It's the sci-fi geek in me, I guess. Aliens, zombies, ghosts...yeah, I wanna see me some of that. As long as it doesn't kill me or anally probe me. I mean, if it asks real nice then maybe, but...

Unfortunately, the weirdest thing I've ever seen falls more in the realm of Animal Planet than the Sci-Fi Channel. But a boy can still dream, eh?

I think I just miss In Search of... with Leonard Nimoy. THAT was a reality show I could live with. And just what the Hell ever happened to the Bermuda Triangle? No one ever talks about that any more. Sigh.


Random Wiki: Charles Atlas was that guy that advertised in the back of comic-books when I was a kid. Dynamic tension was gonna turn me from a 90-pound weakling who got sand kicked in my face to a Greek god walking around Coney Island with a couple of bikini-clad beauties on my shoulders. But some of those ads also said I could buy x-ray specs that would allow me to see through clothing. Bunch of fucking liars!

Clearly, the Bermuda Triangle has folded into itself and disappeared.

Someone has found the remains of a sasquatch, apparently. Link

Verdant Earl said...

Steph - yeah, I linked to that story in my post as well. One of Evyl's blogger friends was at the press conference.

Do you ever watch Destination Truth?

Verdant Earl said...

Avitable - Never. It's on the SciFi Channel, right? Gonna have to plug that one into the DVR. Thanks!

Fine, Amelia Earhart's in my basement. Happy?

Verdant Earl said...

Limpy - only if she is in a rubber s&m cat suit.

My dad, who was a pilot, said his instruments went nuts once while flying over the Bermuda Triangle. There's got to be something to it.

Netflix has some decent "Watch Instantly" shows available on Bigfoot, aliens, and the like. Pretty decent stuff.

Have you ever heard Jonathan Coulton's song about Leonard Nimoy falling in love with Bigfoot? It's pretty nice. :)
