The Lizard Man of South Carolina

lizard-man.jpg — There haven’t been many accounts of his activity since 1988, but South Carolina’s Lizard Man is now reportedly becoming more active. This is a seven-foot bipedal reptilian creature with scaly green skin, red eyes, and three elongated digits on all four limbs. He has been seen most often in swamp areas and back roads of South Carolina, and may have been seen as early as 1972 although the first “official” account is from 1988.

Lizard Man is strong, agile, and swift. In the 1988 account, a 17-year-old was changing a tire late at night near the Scrape Ore Swamp near Bishopville, S.C. and had just finished the task when a reptilian creature came running at considerable speed towards him. The kid managed to get back inside the car, but not before Lizard Man had grabbed the driver’s side mirror. The observer then took off in the car with Lizard Man in pursuit, the creature then jumping onto the roof of the car. The young man sped up and was able to shake the thing off, but damage was done to the side mirror and roof. Lizard Man was described as “strong and angry.” Other independent sightings were reported in 1988.

Recent reports of Lizard Man’s activities have included damage to cars and the slaughter of cats…

beelzebufo.jpg —They’ve found fossilized remains in Madagascar of a toad about the size of a bowling ball that weighed ten pounds and co-existed with the dinosaurs.  This sucker also had an armorized hide and teeth!–Called beelzebufo or “devil frog,” this new specimen shows us that we continue to discover new life forms, extinct and present today, with many more certain to be discovered in the future

downer-cow.jpgMost people don’t really want to see what goes on in slaughterhouses; it’s not pretty, muchless apetizing.  Hamburger is not harvested in the sterile, bloodless styrofoam containers you buy in supermarkets.  Beyond the usual butchery, however, is the treatment of “downer” cows as videotaped by humane society agents in a California slaughterhouse.  These animals, too ill and weak to move, are shown in the videos as being kicked, jabbed in the eyes, and even rammed with forklifts by some workers in an effort to get them to move to their own slaughter!  The inclusion of clearly sick cattle in the meat supply has caused the biggest recall of beef in the nation’s history, and much of it has already been eaten…some in school lunch programs!

spy.jpg  –Fear not!–Your government, which put up a non-functioning spy satellite (your tax dollars at work), has now developed a plan to have the navy shoot down the sucker before it can fall on our sorry heads later this month, or in early March. This is good, because even if the spy in the sky doesn’t hit us directly, a component of it could poison an area the size of two football fields…we’ll just hope that the rocket being sent to knock out the spy satellite works better than the satellite itself…

…as Pogo the Possum once said long ago, “we have met the enemy, and he is us.”

exploding_whale.jpgNot for the queasy!–In November of 1970, a 45-foot, eight-ton carcass of a dead whale washed up on the coast of Oregon. It was rancid and they wanted to get rid of it, so a group of highway engineers decided to blow the sucker up with dynamite! This was on the theory that the dynamited whale parts would then be consumed by seagulls and the problem would be eliminated. So they put half a ton of dynamite next to the dead whale, and set it off…and in the resulting explosion, some rather big chunks of dead whale blubber filled the air, threatening the spectators and causing them to beat a hasty retreat. One big chunk o’ dead whale impacted with the roof of a car with predictable bad results. All in all, it was not a pretty sight…

…and this is not an “urban legend”…this really happened! The event was taped, and the video may still be seen…

satellite.jpg — In late February or early March, a spy satellite weighing about 10,000 pounds will come hurtling to earth.   They don’t know exactly where, but possibly in North America. 

This satellite was launched in 2006 by the good ole USA, and never really worked properly so it was declared a total loss.  There’s no control of the craft, but you just don’t want to be under it when it comes down.  Not to worry…the government that put it up is developing a contingency plan for dealing with it when it crashes down.  Somehow, I’m not comforted…the spy satellite was to protect us from our enemies…but who protects us from the spy satellite?

Just wanted you to keep your heads up in late February and early March, folks…

werewolf.jpg  —The History Channel hosts a number of shows that aren’t exactly historical, and Monster Quest is one of the best.  This hour-long show airs Wednesday night at 10:00 along the eastern U.S. coast, and features weekly excursions into the paranormal and the unexplained.  To be aired this Wednesday January 23rd is an episode called American Werewolf, covering appearances of a dog-man in Wisconsin and other states.

Also on the History Channel Monday at 9:00 in my area is a show called Life After People, covering the resurgence of other life forms following the extinction of homo sapiens…promos look intriguing!

apg_popcorn_070906_ms.jpg  — A flavoring agent in microwave butter-flavored popcorn, diacetyl, has been known to cause a rare lung condition, popcorn lung, in workers at factories producing the product.  Now there’s the first known consumer case in a guy who consumed two bags daily for a long time…he sure got his fiber…and guess who he’s suing? — The store that sold him the popcorn!

–Is this a great country, or what?–Popcorn without diacetyl is still a safe, rather healthy snack, and I’m gonna eat it!

ufo.jpg — In Stephenville, Texas a big UFO has recently been seen this month by dozens of people, including a pilot, a county constable, and several businessmen…not nut jobs.  The sucker seen was described as about a mile  long and half a mile wide, perfectly silent, and seamless…aliens don’t make junk!  It was moving about 300 feet above a field.

I wish they’d come and take me…I’m ready to go!
