WELCOME TO THE CFZ BLOG NETWORK: COME AND JOIN THE FUN

Half a century ago, Belgian Zoologist Bernard Heuvelmans first codified cryptozoology in his book On the Track of Unknown Animals.

The Centre for Fortean Zoology (CFZ) are still on the track, and have been since 1992. But as if chasing unknown animals wasn't enough, we are involved in education, conservation, and good old-fashioned natural history! We already have three journals, the largest cryptozoological publishing house in the world, CFZtv, and the largest cryptozoological conference in the English-speaking world, but in January 2009 someone suggested that we started a daily online magazine! The CFZ bloggo is a collaborative effort by a coalition of members, friends, and supporters of the CFZ, and covers all the subjects with which we deal, with a smattering of music, high strangeness and surreal humour to make up the mix.

It is edited by CFZ Director Jon Downes, and subbed by the lovely Lizzy Bitakara'mire (formerly Clancy), scourge of improper syntax. The daily newsblog is edited by Corinna Downes, head administratrix of the CFZ, and the indexing is done by Lee Canty and Kathy Imbriani. There is regular news from the CFZ Mystery Cat study group, and regular fortean bird news from 'The Watcher of the Skies'. Regular bloggers include Dr Karl Shuker, Dale Drinnon, Richard Muirhead and Richard Freeman.The CFZ bloggo is updated daily, and there's nothing quite like it anywhere else. Come and join us...

I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

It's been a whole seven days since we
did a rhyming couplet Gonzo Daily
Did you ask why? It could be worse
it just amuses me to write bad verse...

We start off with a story from
The Guardian blog which was sent to Jon
from his brother-in-law don't be annoyed
cos it is all about Pink Floyd
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/a-prog-rock-memoir.html


Its Pink Floyd again wouldn't you know
but now we have a video
I hope that it won't make you snooze
as Roger Waters plays the blues
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/08/roger-waters-surprise-live-appearance.html

I was quite impressed (you must believe)
with a mystery poem I received
So I thought that you should have a look
Its about Helen McCookerybook
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/08/helen-mccookerybook-look-what-arrived.html

A review here of Michael Des B
Which says it very succinctly
he wrote 'My Baby Saved My Ass'
and the album's a classic rock masterclass
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/michael-des-barres-you-cant-say-fairer.html


Thom the World Poet, bloody hell
he doesn't just write doggerel
to make you laugh (he's not like me)
the man writes PROPER poetry
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/thom-world-poet-daily-poem_8888.html

A story which will break your heart
someone who doesn't get Beefheart
He'd never heard of Don Van Vliet
but even so the review's not shite
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/08/sadly-boys-and-girls-there-are-still.html

Sometimes verse does not come to me
but today it flowed quite easily
so from me and from the orange cat
that my Gonzo pals is that..

See you next week.
