Bigfoot for President 

                 

What? It could happen. The way our forests and undeveloped land is shrinking? I’d even vote for the whiperwill bird 🐦 I want to relocate to the yard of my enemies. That’s a serious concession on my part. Considering he would probably call for a presidential direct order to have every bird in the state sing outside my bedroom window, since he clearly doesn’t like me either.

Bigfoot for president isn’t anything that could happen right now, of course, but voting for a president that would share the same values and ideals most of us researchers, writers and Bigfoot enthusiasts share for protecting his home and his person is always possible, every four years. (To be clear I’m not picking on or favoring any side here except Bigfoot) So let’s brainstorm, what are those values and ideals we share with Bigfoot and what will keep his species safe. Because that is common ground here that we all can get behind. (and everyone agreeing would be wonderful even for just one day).

Well, the first one should probably be, (since we are talking about Bigfoot after all) protecting his environment. (If he really could run, then this would be his platform)  He would need someone who cared about our state and national forests, parks, conservation land , and protection for all his little forest friends.

Bigfoot may not understand the EPA or the like but he knows that his trees are all being mowed down and his land is shrinking away.  Trees are one of the most important things to him. No trees and he has nowhere to hide and live and no vegetation to eat. This is also a big problem for us, we enjoy those forests and parks also, we go there to look for him after all. 

Next, after his home is water. He needs clean fresh water to drink on that mountain. (Not to bathe apparently, just drink) We are contaminating alot of areas with our waste. What is he going to do? If he goes to a 7-Eleven for “spring” water he will most likely be shot, stuffed and mounted. 

Lastly,  I’m sure he isn’t a huge fan of all the hunting and guns in the forest. But as long as you are not pointing them at him? Then I’m sure you can come to an agreement. He doesn’t want them,  he just wants you to point them somewhere else. And if he does somehow manage to evolve into becoming a president? Then he can finally put his own name on the endangered whatever species list (Hairy man, ape or hybrid) works best. 

We could all probably learn a lot from him too, president or no. Learning to just get back to living from the land, only worrying about eating and where to lay your head at night. Doesn’t that sound wonderful. But we don’t have to leave it all behind and pack up and head for the forest. 🌳 We Just have to work to help save the one that’s outside our doors now. 

And if you don’t have one, then maybe you could help come up with a plan for replanting some of those trees, or else you’ll never see the big guy during his inaugural tour. 😁

He Does Exist..The Semi-Autobiographical Tale of Dyatlov Pass

Image
On yet another glorious snowy morning in Massachusetts, the 3rd one in as many weeks, I sat out in the doorway just watching it all come down. I couldn't help but think-what if I was outside lost and stranded? What if the abominable snowman exists and is out hunting right now?  It made me think of a tale, a true tale, of an abominable snowman that was out prowling, that did hunt people. He currently resides in the icy slopes of Dyatlov Pass, in the Ural Mountains of Russia. I feel relatively safe telling his tale from this location. It would be a lot of work for him to get here. But just in case, I have a Louisville Slugger near my door. His tale is the most frightening one I've ever heard and has haunted me since I first heard of it many years ago. (Many? Did my editor put that word in)?It's a scary tale because it is real...and we have proof. On February 2nd, 1959. Nine unsuspecting college students entered the liar of a Yeti and didn't survive to tell this tal

Booger Funnels...

Image
This post is from a guest blogger, Sunday Monroe from Team Cryptid Mississippi. I have not changed any text from the piece beyond basic editing, which you all know I’m terrible at...Thank you to Sunday for sharing and emailing me this... Boogers are always in transition. They move about from place to place as needs dictate. They must, no moss grows on them for sure. It is what they have to do, it’s how they survive. This practice probably has more than a little to do with why they remain generally undocumented. You cannot define what you can’t pin down and examine. This is a trait that you can take advantage of if you want to go and see one for yourself, by thinking like a Booger thinks. If I was a Booger, why would I leave the relative comfort of my den? Because I’m hungry, of course. It takes a lot of food to support a single, large primate much less an entire family of them.  Few places offer food in sufficient amounts year round to support a family of Boogers. In most location

A Moment with a Monster 

Image
An MC Monster,  that is. On this monster of a Monday  I had a chance to ask the artist himself a few questions about his amazing characters, how he creates them and how you all can get an original from him. And I’m sure after you see them, you will be a follower of his art. And spoiler alert, he may, may,  be coming to a city near you soon.. An interview with an artist: Q: Can you tell me a little bit about the characters you create? “The monsters I create aren’t evil entities, but more of like watchful protectors, leaders or guides through the spiritual realm.”  My favorite piece, I picture it as a moment between the big guy and myself.. Q: When did you begin creating them? “I started playing around with this style in June 2017, after my little sister passed away.” Q: What process do you use to create these wonderful characters? “The process is more often then not just winging it. I lay down a background, and then sort of just go for it. When I’m doing commission pieces I fo
