"And Jesus Sent Him to Scotland Where He Lived in a Loch for Oh, So Many Years..."

By drorzel on June 3, 2007.

Via Charles Kuffner, a story about new footage of the Loch Ness Monster. It's a dinosaur from the Bible...

I tried to watch the video with the CNN story, but their annoying player took forever to load and the kept glitching up. So I fired up YouTube, and found this Scottish news broadcast. On the bad side, it has a big watermark from the video editing program used by the person who posted it, but it features such fabulous "I swear she ain't usin' real words" accents, that I'll stick with that link.

This is also an excellent place to use this Bookslut link to a Tome Bissell's article about visiting Loch Ness, that I've had saved in my RSS reader for months now.

Thank you for making think about Bill Hicks today.

Since you think our Scottish accents are 'fabulous' I'll let you into a secret. The only reason we perpetuate the Loch Ness Monster myth is because American tourists are suckers for it.

I must admit, I could listen to that reporter saying "bottom" all day.

Nessie is so neat. We hope to capture her and show her in our part of the world. We will build a big aquarium for her right next to the UFO museum in Roswell, New Mexico. The we will snare Bigfoot and give him and his entire family a condo, real near the UFO museum and the Nessie aquarium, and who knows, perhaps the two Presidents of fantasy, George Bush and Bill Clinton will want to live in Roswell also. Bill can get his own X-rated theater, and President Bush can get a how to go to war silly musuem or his own library with lots of comic books.

You think those accents are not real words? Never visit Dundee or Glasgow then :)

Linked article - it's a trebuchet at Urquhart, not a catapult.

Scottish news will do anything for good business. A wee while ago Irn Bru ceased to be the biggest selling soft drink in Scotland and the news was virtually one long 'drink more Bru' propoganda peice.
