LET'S HOPE THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN IS AWAKE

The Gonzo Daily - Thursday
 
Today I did something spectacularly idiotic. I am working on a new edition of the autobiography of a spectacularly talented lady, and—as I always do—I was cross checking spelling of all the proper names which I came across. I could have sworn that when I looked up one particular politician mentioned in the book on Wikiwhatsit, that it said that he had died back in 2011. So I wrote to the author asking whether she wanted me to acknowledge the fact of this guy’s demise, and she wrote back to me—shocked—thanking me for having informed me of his death.
 
I am sure that you can all guess what is coming next.
 
I sent her the relevant page on Wikiwhatsotand she wrote back saying that it didn’t mention anything about this chap having died. And yes, the was right. It hadn’t.
 
I immediately assumed, that as this dude was a politician, someone had done a piece of malicious editing on the online encyclopaedia, which—of course—is not unknown. Even I have done it, but only to play practical jokes on my friends, and I have had it done to me with a far more malicious motive.
 
But when I looked in the historical list of edits I could find nothing of the sort.
 
So it appears that I had simply misread the whole bloody thing and caused grief and upset to my client for nothing. I wrote back apologising and she (being as gracious and kind as she is talented) immediately forgave me for my idiocy (although, of course, she didn’t use such a vulgar term).

* 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: www.gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.co.uk
 
* 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 57 who - together with an infantile orange cat named after a song by Frank Zappa, and two small 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 the infantile orange cat, and the adventurous kittens?

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.
