CRYPTOLINK: They Might Be Giants Wants to Sell You Famous Cryptid Playing Cards
by Ian Chant | 4:30 pm,
November 9th
When the greatest rock band in the world decides to start try and sell us the
greatest playing card deck we’ve seen in quite some time, how are we supposed to
resist? We have no idea, which is why we will be purchasing these
limited-edition cryptid playing cards from They Might Be Giants
post-haste. This is probably a thing you should also do if, you know, you like
things that are good.

FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES (CFZ)
In an article for the first edition of Cryptozoology Bernard Heuvelmans wrote that cryptozoology is the study of 'unexpected animals' and following on from that perfectly reasonable assertion, it seems to us that - whereas the study of out of place birds may not have the glamour of the hunt for bigfoot, or lake monsters - it is still a perfectly valid area for the Fortean Zoologist to be interested in. So, after about six months of regular postings on the main bloggo, Corinna has taken the plunge and started a 'Watcher of the Skies' blog of her own as part of the CFZ Bloggo Network.CRYPTOLINK: 'Bigfoots are real. The evidence shows it'
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - Bigfoot is no stranger to the Pacific Northwest: about a third of reported sasquatch sightings happen in Oregon and Washington.
The legend - or search - has gained new popularity from "Finding Bigfoot" on Animal Planet.
"It won't take long, a few years tops," Portland native and bigfoot hunter Cliff Barackman told a Springfield High School club. "These things are real, and soon everyone is going to know about it."
Barackman admits to a lifelong obsession withsasquatch, an obession he now gets to indulge by traveling the country with three other bigfoot experts in search of 'squatch.
He is used to dealing with skeptics, but during a recent visit to Springfield High School, barackman was preaching to the choir at the Sasquatch Brotherhood, a school club.

TODAY'S BIG CAT ROUND UP
The hunt for British Big Cats attracts far more newspaper-column inches than any other cryptozoological subject. There are so many of them now that we feel that they should be archived by us in some way, so we should have a go at publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in. In September 2012, Emma Osborne decided that the Mystery Cat Study Group really deserved a blog of its own within the CFZ Blog Network.I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO DAH MAN
I still have a cold and am feeling bad
tempered and spiky as the bloke who cold called me trying to sell me double
glazing just found out. Last night I finally finished reading the Hunter
Thompson anthology and am looking forward to reading it. Just a heads up: on
monday or tuesday I shall be going away for a couple of days, and shall be
leaving the blog in the capable hands of Graham and Dave B-P while we take
mother back to Oakham.

The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The Editor is an old hippy of 53 who - together with his orange cat - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
