YESTERDAY'S LINKS

Thank you to Beth Wetherington and everyone else who pointed this out. I totally messed up yesterday's links on the main CFZ page. Goodness knows how I did it. Hopwever, they are now fixed and should read:

January 11th: CFZ NEWS SERVICE: Dr Andrew May with Words from the Wild Frontier
Click here for further details...
January 11th: CRYPTOLINK: Zimbabwe lake monster
Click here for further details...
January 11th: NATURAL HISTORY: How to get a free booklet on the salamanders of Pennsylvania. If anyone reading this lives in the area, can they get me one?
Click here for further details...
January 11th: NATURAL HISTORY: CFZ New Zealand on a very weird summer
Click here for further details...
January 11th:CRYPTOZOOLOGY/MYSTERY CATS: The latest from the CFZ Big Cat blog. The hunt for mystery 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.

January 11th: NATURAL HISTORY: CFZ Canada on a strange killer whale mystery
Click here for further details...
January 11th:NATURAL HISTORY/WATCHER OF THE SKIES: The latest from the CFZ Fortean bird blog. 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.

January 11th: MUSIC AND MORE: the Gonzo Blog doo-dah man puts his hat on again
Click here for further details...
January 11th: CFZ NEWS SERVICE: Yesterday's News Today

CRYPTOLINK: Bigfoot News January 10, 2013

A word about cryptolinks: We are not responsible for the content of cryptolinks, which are merely links to outside articles that we think are interesting, usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me.  


Major news coming today on the Dr. Melba Ketchum Bigfoot DNA study, possible study publication soon, maybe next week. There will be a press release issued today regarding the Ketchum study. Ketchum and possibly others will be issuing the release. I would assume that publication is coming soon, possibly today, tomorrow or next week.  My sources in the Ketchum camp revealed to me recently a new publication date, which they put at “the first half of January.”

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.



ANDREW MAY: Words from the Wild Frontier

News and stories from the remoter fringes of the CFZ blogosphere...

KARL SHUKER - HERE'S THE HIPPOTURTLEOX

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.




I'M YER GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN

So Shosh and Gavin and the Orange Cat went back up to the frozen north yesterday afternoon. The Orange Cat had an opioid injection to calm his nerves, but despite my entreating my cold-hearted stepdaughter (who is, by the way, a qualified vet) wouldn't give me one. I spent the evening watching the DVD by The Gift Band, and mother and I both agreed that it was excellent while Corinna (who dislikes folk music) went off into the other room...
 
As you may have noticed, I am a fan of Helen McCookerybook, and today I have pinched two pieces of artwork from her archive..

*  The Gonzo Daily is a two way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work, or even just say hello please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow...

*  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 same team also do a
weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html

*  Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures 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 which he shares with various fish and batrachians. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus.. did we mention the orange cat?
