FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES


What has Corinna's column of fortean bird news got to do with Cryptozoology?

Well, everything actually!

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.

TODAY'S BIG CAT NEWS

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 are publishing a regular round-up of the stories as they come in. 

The worldwide mystery cat phenomenon (or group of phenomena, if we are to be more accurate) is not JUST about cryptozoology. At its most basic level it is about the relationship between our species and various species of larger cat. That is why sometimes you will read stories here that appear to have nothing to do with cryptozoology but have everything to do with human/big cat interaction. As committed Forteans, we believe that until we understand the nature of these interactions, we have no hope of understanding the truth that we are seeking.

    THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS LESS THAN MANIC

    The Gonzo Daily - Monday
    www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

    Today we have some good news about Daevid Allen. This news from Spring Studio via the Daevid Alien Facebook group -
     
    "Good news! I am on my way home today! Rapid recovery began from the moment Ynys played me the drones! My lymph swelling reduced. No dressing now needed. And yesterday they x-rayed my arm and we saw that the bones are knitting so no plating operation required. More later. Needless to say i am very very grateful!! Love, Daevid xxxx"
     
    However, there is more. An update from Harry Williamson dated Saturday 12th reads:
     
    "Daevid came home yesterday and is in great spirits feeling like a miracle has happened. Willie picked him up from Griffith and Orlando and Emma popped round. We had a celebratory Guinness or three, D having a small glass. He remains on fat free diet for at least two weeks then his Radio therapy starts. 5 days a week for 6 weeks, 140km a day in Lismore. This is likely to make him pretty nauseous towards the end.
     
    Furthermore the bones in his arm have bonded finally so no op required there. He mentioned that Ynys downloaded the drone at Griffith and from the moment he heard it he began to heal more rapidly.We are all very relieved but we're not out of the woods quite yet. Here's hoping for a positive convalescence post radio therapy and the turning of a new leaf for Daevid.
     
    Today I recieved this from Jem, David's neighbour.
     
    'Kavi Tree and Ynys went to see Daevid today taking in clean sheets etc. He's been in very good spirits for a couple of days and is looking forward to finalising his care plan. Hopefully a bed will become available in Murwillambah and he can be transfered to NSW where his home care can be worked out. He is worried that government funding may prolong his hospitalised convalescence. His lymph is being drained less frequently which is a good sign and for now he needs to remain in Griffith University Hospital so that the consultants who did the op can observe his stats and work out what is going on. He is still on regular pain relief.'
     
    We hope to go up to see him later in the week.
     
    Obviously his healing path is long but he is in positive high spirits and dealing with it one day at a time. Daevid would like to humbly thank everybody who has sent him healing in their own ways and wishes to reassure everybody that he is receiving strong and clear. "Not by my will but via the will of the one god love will the outcome be as it should". Thank you beloved glissers everywhere for the love. Daevid"
     
    Now, unfortunately I have been spectacularly stupid. On Saturday when we posted the latest issue of the magazine I managed to screw up the link to the download page. It is now fixed, and you can download pdf copies of the magazine from:
    http://www.gonzoweekly.com/pdf/
     
    I do apologise for being an idiot, but in my defence, we received the first ultrasound video of my first grandchild (a girl, Evelyn, due in September) and everything else has taken second place this weekend.
     
     
    The latest issue of Gonzo Weekly (#86) is available to read or download at www.gonzoweekly.com. It has Hunter Thompson on the front cover an an article by theatrical producer Lou Stein about his friendship with the good doctor. There is also an interview with Paul Woodwright from Kozfest, Galahad at the Christchurch Festival in pictures, Doug Harr with thefirst of a mini series on Brand X, whilst Jon muses about Alan Moore (who knows the score). There are also new shows from the wonderfully eccentric Jaki and Tim on their Submarine, from Canterbury Sans Frontières  and from the multi-talented Neil Nixon at Strange Fruit and a collection of more news, reviews, views, interviews and salamanders from Toulouse (OK, no French caudata, but I got carried away with things that rhymed with OOOOS) than you can shake a stick at. And the best part is IT's ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!
     
    Read the previous few issues of Gonzo Weekly:
     
     
    All issues from #70 can be downloaded at www.gonzoweekly.com if you prefer. If you have problems downloading, just email me and I will add you to the Gonzo Weekly dropbox. The first 69 issues are archived there as well. Information is power chaps, we have to share it!

    PARSNIPS FOR ANDY

    The other day I ran a competition here on the blogs, more in hope than in any real expectation that anyone would be stupid enough to go on for it.  After all, who would be stupid enough, apart from me, to write a rap song about parsnips?

    Andy Roberts, that’s who.


    I’ve known Andy for very nearly twenty years; I have published his books, I have been the subject of his scurrilous writings and over that time we not only remained friends but have spend an enormous amount of time recommending obscure hippy music to each other.  So I am kicking myself for not having predicted that this peculiar Yorkshireman would have been the winner of my stupidly tongue-in-cheek competition….

     Buttered Parsnip Rap                                                                     

    I’m chillin’ down the veg store, gonna get me my grits
    When the dude at the till says blood, check out the parsnips
    I say wha? I Say wha? I Say wha? like a cliché
    Cos blood, like, you know, parsnips don’t go in no quiche (hey!)
    Dude says cool it, blood, with the ill behaviour
    Y’all ain’t tried nuthin’ til you’ve tasted their flavour
    This jam is dedicated to those who said we couldn’t
    And to those in the house who simply thought we couldn’t
    Find a rhyme, find the time, catch the serendips
    To get a nigga to utter fine words butter no parsnips

    DAN HOLDSWORTH: Special Effects

    Jon,

    This was done by taking film of Frankfurt Airport, and modifying it somewhat. It strikes me that this pretty much rules out any phonecam footage of UFOs as being completely credible.
