All the News That Fits we Print
What's this country coming to? We went a whole day yesterday without the media saying one word about Brittney Spears or Lindsay Lohan or, gulp, O.J. Simpson. You'd think something important was happening. I have to admit, both races for the nomination have gotten exciting. If it keeps up like this the candidates may wind up being chosen by fat white guys in back rooms sucking on foul cigars, just like in the old days. You can't leave it to voters to get it right.

Absolutely, and if I’m not mistaken, the delegates to the national conventions of both parties are only obliged to cast their votes for the candidates chosen in caucuses and primaries one time only. Should there not be a majority on the first ballot –and it now seems unlikely there will be—then delegates can wheel and deal as in days of yore. What’s more, it may not be just those big fat white guys in backrooms who will ultimately decide, it may be big fat women as well. The times they are a-changin’. God Bless America!
mr crowther i have noticed that in recent weeks you have taken to drawing what seems to be those of my species your species call us sasquatch yeti yeren and in china yowie which we all prefer to big foot which is how they call us on the history channel by the way it is an excellent drawing especially from someone who may not have ever seen us few humanoids have by the way and therefore I am cautious in correcting a few minor details for one the feet up here in canada ours are much larger due to the necessity of leaving more discoverable imprints for the tv crews i for one used to wear galoshes and another thing if that humanoid lost his cell phone how could he be calling us in my opinion i think he lost his way instead our pedal extremities may be revoltin but our brains are as big as our toes forgive the typing by the way I only have an old radio shack pc some cryptozoologist lost in the forest
MY HUSBAND HES THE ONE ON THE LEFT GOT IT WRONG AS USUAL OUR PEDAL EXTREMETIES ARE NOT REVOLTIN THEY ARE COLOSSAL AND MAKE US LOOK LIKE A FOSSIL
Quiet, you two!
You're going to ruin it for the rest of us!
nessie stay out of the forest!
Don't fully grasp the political process there... but wanted to let you know that Britney made the late night news here last night (seeing as you were wondering where she got to)LOL
[when oh when are they going to leave that poor girl alone... after she's dead? or maybe not even then... what a disgrace]
why don't you get a full body wax, sasquatch, then swim over here and make me.
you already got the flippers for it!
What you understandably wouldn't know, Mr. Sasquatch (or is it actually Mr. Sas Quatch?) is that the first thing to do when you lose your cell phone is call your own numnber in hopes that 1) it's not far away and you'll hear it ringing, or 2) whoever has found it will answer and get it back to you. If you decide to get one, try to find a plan with unlimited weekend minutes. And give my regards to Mrs. Quatch, Sassie.
mr crowther I am very touched by your explanation most people who come up here treat us as monsters whereas we are really like the rest of you other than our pedal extremities you cant imagine what its like to live peacefully in canada eating mushrooms and berries bothering no one and then to have these hunters bother us i have no knowledge of how cell minutes work we do not wish to frighten anyone even when they frighten us my wife sends her regards.
little whiny there, aren't we, big guy?
why don't you learn to use a phone?
It's easy enough. You obviously have access to a computer.

It could take another million years for you to evolve. Might as well get the process started.
Sheesh... not only do I live in another country... reading this... (clearly) I live on another planet! LOL
"It could take another million years for you to evolve. Might as well get the process started."
nessie is your first name by any chance loch if so I seem to detect a case of monster envy here which like penis envy can only get bigger mr crowther has displayed his usual respect for all gods creatures big and small some of which he draws and instead of belittling us as you fish like to do hes passed on some useful info about weekend minutes your assertion that it could take another million years for us to evolve is ridiculous we have evolved its some humans and all plesiosaurs who havent we live amongst ourselves in the forest gathering fungus and berries and an occasional lost laptop and we don’t build malls or start wars what have you plesiosaurs done lately other than scare the hell out of a lot of innocent scots
sounds like you have a bit of a fixation on the male reproductive organ.
Well, let me debunk one myth right now. The only thing those with big feet have is big galoshes.
As far as evolution is concerned, only those with adaptive needs evolve. Those of us who are already perfect, like yours truly, the coelacanth and alligators, are already perfect, and our DNA has remained stable throughout time.
nessie hav a heart even if its only a coelacanthic one i don wanna get into a pissin contest with you bout perfection and the dna but as any kid knows no species is ever perfect and if we don all adapt to changin times well all soon disapear like the dodo bird up here in canada we are dealin with global warmin in a big way everyones worried cause im already 12 yrs old 14 foot tall & only wear a size 18 galosh also I have a lot less hair than my grandpa big sas has the reason bein that it is gettin so dam hot up here in the woods that i don need all that coverin & by the time i grow up ill probably end up bein bald and lookin like I had electrolysis please scuse the spellin im hopin my dad will find a Merriam Webster in the woods soon
Junior, I applaud your attempt to bring civility and sanity back to the discussion. A moderator's job involves intervening in squabbles, sometimes leading to the necessity of asking the parties to take their issues off-line. I'm hoping that will be unnecessary in this case. Meanehile, I have to wonder if Nessie has an underwater computer, or is there something more about the LNM's perigrinations we don't know about. Can you sassies swim, Junior? Possibly you guys have more in common than you realize.
John,
I'm an amphibian. I can go in and out of the water as I please.
And if there is something I need that I can't do for myself, I just paddle over to Ireland and get my friends the leprechauns to help.
sasquatch jr., you might want to get someone to show you where "spell check" is on your computer.
mr crowther not only am i and my family wiling to take this discussion off line we are willing take it in forest you are the first artist to portray us as we really are give or take a foot or two and we applaud you from the bottom of our pedal extremities for your accuracy and compassion i didn’t come out of the forest to be abused by a fish the rest is silence addio
Giving up so soon? Pity. I could keep this up indefinitely. I hadn't even found my groove, yet.
Oh well. I'll have to go find some drunk fishermen to scare. That should be good for a laugh.
