CRYPTOLINK: River Monsters: Hunting the Legendary Loch Ness Monster


River-monsters-loch-ness
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 (sometimes for the wrong reasons), usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me.

 For more than 30 years hardened angler Jeremy Wade has taken on the world’s most legendary river monsters bar one - the Loch Ness Monster.  It’s a challenge he’s been reluctant to take on, until now. 
On an epic mission to track down the world’s most famous cryptid he traveled from the depths of Loch Ness to the volcanoes of Iceland and beyond.  How did he fare on his Nordic odyssey?  Did he really uncover the mother of all monsters, the legend of legends?
RICHARD FREEMAN COMMENTS: Loch Ness is Freshwater, Jezza!

FORTEAN BIRD NEWS FROM THE WATCHER OF THE SKIES

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 took the plunge and started a 'Watcher of the Skies' blog of her own as part of the CFZ Bloggo Network.

THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN MEETS A COMEDY RHINOCEROS

Yesterday really turned into a nice day. When I was doing the blogs yesterday lunchtime I was feeling horrible, but an hours kip, followed by  about seven hours recording with Mike Davis (which went very well, by the way) and then a late supper whilst watching a documentary about British Sea Power (the band, not the dreadnaughts) polished off what was really quite a nice day. More recording this afternoon...
Another visit to our old friend Thom the World Poet.

STRANGE FRUIT #45 Playlist - new on Gonzo Web Radio
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/09/strange-fruit-45-playlist.html
For those of you interested, the latest episode of my monthly webTV show, and yes, it does feature me singing and doing unconvincing ventriloquism
http://gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2013/09/strange-fruit-45-playlist.html

 *  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

* We should probably mention here, that some of our posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest guv!

*  Jon Downes, the Editor of all these ventures (and several others) is an old hippy of 54 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange) puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon which he shares with various fish, and sometimes a small Indian frog. 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 the orange cat?

WALLY THE COMEDY RHINOCEROS: Yesterday's News Today

Oll is away, so for todayYesterday's News Today is done by Wally the Comedy Rhinoceros. He is a stand up comedian of some renown. Here is one of his rhino-related jokes.

Q: What did Tarzan say when he saw a herd of rhinos wearing sunglasses coming over the hill? 
A: Nothing, he did not recognize them.

Ha Ha that was funny. Sidesplitting. Yes. Ha!
