THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN SOLDIERS ON

The Gonzo Daily: Wednesday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

And so, once again, it is Wednesday. I was awoken bright early by Olivia, who’s not only my younger stepdaughter but is now gainfully working as my amanuensis every Wednesday. What have I got to tell you today? You may remember that a week or so ago, we ran a story about a strange occurrence in Cornwall when a lady woke up to find the leg of a small sheep severed on her lawn. Yesterday, Corinna and Julia put on their intrepid hats and went into darkest Cornwall, to retrieve it. What happened next will be revealed in On The Track, which returns to your screens later this year.

 

And now, here is the news:

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.

THE HO HO HEN

The Gonzo Daily: Monday/Tuesday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

Friday night was weird. I have seen sheet lightning before, but nothing like this. Trying to describe it without resorting to cliche is almost impossible. Great swathes of white electric light split the sky, and for the first time I could hear the rumble of thunder. I wasn’t the only one; Prudence, our eleven year old boxer/bulldog bitch is terrified of bangs, and always reacts badly to thunder or fireworks. She came rushing up the stairs with remarkable haste for such an elderly lady, and did a belly flop up onto the bed, whereupon she forcibly burrowed herself next to me for a cuddle.

 

Meanwhile the storm was almost upon us, and for the next twenty minutes or so I saw the most magnificent display of natural pyrotechnics that I have ever seen. In storybooks one reads about how the night sky is suddenly as bright as day after a particularly impressive lightning flash, but that is a completely inadequate description. The flashes of sheet lightning, which were coming every few minutes, were orgasmic in their intensity. The garden was, indeed, illuminated, but by a brighter light than one that I have ever seen. For the few seconds of illumination, the white light was so violently intense that it washed all colour out of it, and it was almost like looking at a film negative illuminated a hundredfold.

 

Half an hour later it was all over for us, and the storm moved off towards the Bristol Channel. However, somewhere between our house and the sea a couple of miles away, an unlikely lightning strike did irreparable damage to a British Telecom cable which means that the entire village was been out of broadband access for something over 24 hours. And this is why the last few days blog posts have been awry, and why you are getting the Sunday blogs today. Normal service should be resumed by Wednesday.

 

And now, here is the news:

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.

GOODNESS ME SAYS THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

The Gonzo Daily: Friday/Saturday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

 

And so we reach the end of another week. And you know what? This is one of those weeks when I look back at what I have been doing and can think of nothing whatsoever to say. Yesterday we had a pale tussock moth in the garden, and Corinna rescued a young common shrew that was attracting too much attention from the cats, and it is far hotter than I feel comfortablew with, but none of that is actually headline news. Graham is visiting relatives in the Home Counties, will be seeing Hawkwind at the Roundhouse tonight, and will be returning to the ranch tomorrow, and condolences to Mark Raines on the loss of his Mother, and Glen Vaudrey who lost his entire flock of pet ducks to a marauding fox.

 

And now, here is the news:

* Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 57 who - together with a Jack Russell called Archie, an infantile orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and two half grown kittens, one totally coincidentally named after one of the Manson Family, purely because she squeaks, puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention Archie and the Cats?

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.
