Live from the Woods it’s Saturday Night!

Good evening, I'm Chevy Chase and you're not..






Have you ever been in the woods on a Saturday night and said to yourself, “what the hell am I doing here? I could be on the beach right now.” Well if you never have? you might be a squatcher. And if you are and you have service right now, you're probably reading this from the woods right now.





Everybody has their own idea of a good time. And I love beach time and live in my bathing suit in the summer. But if you really wanted to know what a nice Saturday night would be for me? I’ll describe it as follows. A nice roaring fire, bottle of wine. (Just Boonfarms will do for me.) 😉great stories, great friends and if your lucky someone special who enjoys the need to be outdoors and wild. Squatching and chilling.





But it wouldn’t be Saturday Night Live in the woods without some funny mishaps, and out in nature you just can't anticipate everything  because live is live after all. Tonight I thought I'd share a few of mine.











John Belushi in his bumble bee suit has nothing on a certain June bug in Maine. This bug flew out of my wood pile directly into my eye while getting the fire ready. Swollen and blind in the Maine darkness was an interesting situation. Thank god I know what happens to me and packed Benaydril (and the rest of the drug store too).











Candygram, Landshark. Everyone knows that shark. But did you know there is also another elusive shark? It's called the Loonshark. While swimming in Moose pond also in Maine. (Maybe I should not come back here after tonight huh?) I felt something repeatedly brushing against me. I kept pushing it away, and it kept coming back. I was so annoyed I started to come up for air and to kick that branches ass, but it was not a branch it was the leg of a Loon. A loon! Oh, they are very rare to see they say, don't like people they say. We broke the surface at the same time and we were face to face. I know most of you have heard of a Loon call but I assure you it’s louder and scarier face to face. And who knew their lips flapped!?! I nearly drowned and no one stopped laughing long enough to save me!






SNL- "A bear ate my parents!"




A Bear ate my Parents skit with Horatio Sanz was one of my favorites. But having a bear chase you in real life? That is something else entirely. When I was 18. ( which was like two years ago) I was in North Conway in the White Mountains area of New Hampshire. My best friend and I decided to give camping without parents a try. We had a lovely fire going, great food and a case of passion flavored wine coolers. We finished said case and hit the tent. Without realizing, my friend put the food cooler in the tent with us. She hikes all over Arizona now but she was city girl then. In the middle of my passion fruit induced slumber.  I hear snuffling and banging. I look up and see the reflection of a bear twice the height of me on two legs. First,  I had the omg he is a real moment. Then realized it was a bear. A quick look around showed me the food cooler and just BAM! I knew this could be bad. In a quick moment, we pushed cooler to the front of the tent, cut a hole out the back and ran for our lives.





And as funny as all these moments are to me now, they were truly scary then. They were real and they were dangerous. Luckily I learned a lot with every disaster. But even if I didn't the adrenalin of the search, the hope of seeing him one day. The great memories, fresh air, and freedom always overcame what fear I had. Most of you are out there every weekend too but you are brave enough to film it or stream it live. No second takes there. So kudos to you and I thank you for both because I love watching. (some more than once) So Enjoy your Saturday Night in the woods live tonight everyone. Create some funny memories and great research to share with me and each other. Be safe, free and wild, always.





”Goodnight and have a pleasant tomorrow.”





No animals were harmed writing this blog. But if I ever see that loon again, it's game on!





Tonight’s post is dedicated to a funny lady who loved SNL and Bigfoot and is primarily responsible for my twisted mind. Mom, one year ago today at 5 am you took your last breath with me and I miss you more every day. Love you. Dad, I didn't forget about you on February 5th. I cranked Dino for you and made a delicious porketta. Wish you were there to share it. But then again, I wouldn't have had yummy leftovers.

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...

And you DON'T Believe in Bigfoot?!

Image
So, you still don’t believe in Bigfoot?...Well that’s fine.  With all the crazy creatures floating around in this world ... Bigfoot is the no go. Our own existence on this planet is something that should cause us to say "hmmm". How are we here? Why do we look the way we do? Just what makes us tick? That is where belief comes in. Some put their existence all on heavenly cards...while others put it all on the scientific ones. So, who is right or wrong? If our own existence is still somewhat in question, why would other creatures seem so far fetched? Have you seen some of the unbelievable creatures that live on the land, in water, and in the sky? I will tell you this...I would (and do) believe in a Sasquatch before I would believe in some of these creatures that are actually already established as real. Let’s explore some, shall we... The Barreleye Fish. Not sure, but I think I can see it’s BRAIN!!!! The Goblin Shark..Really! This is real! ...

Warning ⚠️ Squatching May be Hazardous to Your Health 

Image
I have always enjoyed my time in the great outdoors, whether I am at a beach, the dog park or Squatching. You couldn’t coerce me back in the house. In the summer months I’m literally outdoors from dawn till dusk, but lately I’ve noticed that all these outdoor activities are starting to become hazardous to my health.              Chris Farley in Black Sheep I’m used to the constant Chris Farley type trips I do daily, sometimes, most times, it’s usually in a public forum. The grocery store while the floor was wet, Maggie’s doggy day care in front of the owner and when I was teaching a million times tripping over the kids in front of everyone and on film too! I was used to it. I never bothered to  jump up to see if anyone was looking, because I knew they were. Sure it’s funny now, or even then, but this last year I’m doing the same maneuvers but I’m actually starting to feel these falls. Things are starting to get real here. After talking to some f...
