HAW!

hyuk

Hah, I work at a summer camp like 10 min drive from there. Lake monster tastes like chicken.

"This time, Malloy said she saw a jet black hump in the water, which bobbed up and down and then disappeared."

Was it "tire" shaped?

I'm scared. Hold me.

and what's a sea monster doing in a lake?

i lived in vermont for 17 years and never heard of this. champ is well-known though... they made him the mascot for the single A vermont expos. well, a guy in a suit, anyway.

I'd hate to get in an accident on Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg and have to tell Emergency Services where to go.

Wow, everyone's missed the obvious Lake Titicaca reference so far...

The Dirty Sanchez Monster! Doing wonders for South American tourism.

Until they can serve it up deep fried and with chips wrapped in newspaper, I ain't believing...

Barb those are some Serious Thunda' Thighs!

/superficial bastard

This woman is obviously a lesbian suffering from P-Nessie envy.

wtf

Here is a sighting as the creature crawls up on shore. Biologists
believe the creature does this to mate with another of its kind.

Awww...it was probably just a Humuhumunuku-nukuapua'a swimin' by.

oh great. As if people weren't freaked out by all the other harsh unrelenting unreal stuff in the media...Now they're seeing MONSTERS???

this is fantastic. Now the news on TV is gonna look just like Saturday morning cartoons. The only thing they were missing up to this point were the monsters.

After reading that name, I was going to make a smart remark about choking....

...then I came across this in a GIS for "heimlich":

In the local native American dialect, doesn't that name Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg mean "you tell your squaw you're fishing on your side, and I'll tell my squaw I'm fishing on my side, and we'll both go into town and get laid"?

Somebody once told me that. Probably a fish story.

The previous image was disturbing enough....

...then this one shows up:

Damn.... too large, try the link (SFW): http://www.cvmbs.colostate.edu/clinsci/wing/firstaid/heimlich.jpg

Oh..my...LesserEvil..that's hilarious.

GMAFB! Just what we need, a French speaking monster.
Why can't they go for something believable, like the ghosts of Robert Rogers' dead rangers?

Interesting fact: You can type the word "stewardesses" with one hand.

...and "typewriter" on the top row.

diabolik -
You can type anything with one hand, as millions of cybersex0rs would attest to.

Quahog?

It's probably a plesiosaur which is a type of dinsosaur which has been proclaimed to have been extinct for millions of years yet they wash up on shore from time to time, and have even been caught up in trawlers' nets - with fresh flesh on the carcass. If they were so old, there's no chance that even the most briny of seas would preserve flesh or connective tissues that long - all that would be left by now is bones.

Check out Kent Hovind's site; agree or disagree with him, you'll want to check out the articles and photos before you swallow evolution hook, line, sinker. Very likely the "kooks" who see these so-called "monsters" aren't kooks - they just don't know that what they're seeing aren't "monsters" or "mutated whales" or other nonsense, but most likely species which have been thought by popular culture to have long been extinct.

What happened to my previous comment re: the Llanfair - PW train station? Have I been banned or something?

You're thinking coelocanth, which do get caught in deep-sea fisher's nets. Pleisiosaurs have been extinct since the Jurassic.

From KimVette's link, i thought this was a moderatly amusing way of phrasing something...

The only thing that can pay for sin is death. In the Old Testament it was the death and blood of the lamb that covered their sins from Gods eyes. So God Himself became a man (Jesus) and died on the cross in your place. He is called "The Lamb of God" in the Bible. However, this lamb was different. His blood does not cover your sins, it washes them away forever! The only problem now is how can I get the blood of Jesus put on my sin account.

okay, i'd like to get me some of that blood on my sin account as well...

i like the notion of a sin account.

And skeptical.

You know, Lesser, that first photo bears a strikingly disturbing resemblance to our founder...

Wasn't there a thread recently about some guy, his dog and his pregnant spouse--the latter of whom was unamused by the, uh, connection between the former two?

Hmmmm....

She probably was just seeing her reflection.

That was so wrong, yet so funny.

Did someone say magog?

Not to make the obvious point, but Creation Science is an oxymoron, plain and simple. Science is based on a dispassionate procedure used to find the data which provides answers to questions. You start with a question, you test, and you arrive at a conclusion.

Creation science is an, admittedly, biased way to shape data so that it supports an already given conclusion. It's working backwards. The fact that Creation Science is taken seriously surprises me no more than the fact that people shell out money to psychics or soothsayers. It just worries me that it finds its way into legislation.

KimVette, I clicked on the link "Witness a tool", and I saw you! Go figure.

I met Kent Hovind in Rockland, MA today - he is in the Boston area this weekend and he's a really nice guy. :)

Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg is a 17-mile-around lake in Webster, MA. The original name of the lake as it appears in ancient deeds was Chabanakongkomom, with fewer letters and easier to pronounce. The Nipmuks gave the body of water this name because it was neutral territory and a favored site for powwows among their tribe and the Narraganssett, Pequot and Mohegan tribes. Residents of Webster have shortened the name, understandably, to Lake Manchaug.

The lake means "you fish on your side, I fish on mine, nobody fishes in the middle."

reference

odd, cortez, MY source says the name means this:

Authorities have indicated that the development of the name to the present long form stems from the time Samuel Slater began his mills near the lake, which was nearer the Manchaug village. Hence the Indian designation Chargoggagoggmanchauggagogg meaning "Englishmen at Manchaug," came into use. Later they added their original Indian descriptive name, and the entire designation becomes "Englishmen at Manchaug at the Fishing Place at the Boundary" -- or Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg.

I like my version better.

Really, I just like saying it. Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamogg.

Plus I had to spell it in 7th grade science bee. Don't ask what a science bee is, my teacher was a crazy lesbian. With hairy armpits.
