CRYPTOZOOLOGY ONLINE: Still on the Track: 03/09/18

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 GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN JUST IS. ALRIGHT?

The Gonzo Daily: Friday/Saturday

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

I know that one does not usually expect me to say things like "Count your Blessings", but a couple of telephone calls I had last night reminded me of an old (Buddhist, I think) proverb that reads something like: 'I was sad that I limped until I met a man with no feet'. I have been bellyaching about my own misfortunes recently, but they are pretty mild compared to the stuff that some people I know are going through.

ciaou....

Forgive me for always banging on about our webTV show, but it matters a lot to me, and I would be grateful for as many people as possible to see it, and spread the tidings of it far and wide:

* Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 58 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?
