Montauk's Latest Monster Tale
Here we go again. No matter how hard we try, we just can't avoid the subject. It's become the washed-up corpse in the room that's getting harder and harder to ignore.
It, of course, is the Montauk Monster - or should we say,
The Montauk Monster, Part Deux!
I successfully avoided the subject last year, but now that they've recast the Montauk Monster for a sequel, it looks like I'm just going to have to deal with the fact that 'it' is here to stay. At least until T-shirt and photo sales start to flatline. For those who haven't seen the video, here's a clip of the latest beast to wash up on the news. And in case you're wondering, yes, this one was also scooped off the beach and stored in a cooler at someone's home. You can get all of the juicy details on this latest monster, which was found in Southold, along with a "biological warfare" theory or two over at
montauk-monster.com.
Now, regarding said 'monster,' I feel the need to add a quick, personal side note. I'd like to make a plea to all of the 'raccoon theorists' out there to
please stop calling it a raccoon. I'm as skeptical as the next person, but seriously...a raccoon? Where in the world do you live that your first inclination, upon seeing a gigantic, bald, turtle-headed beast, is to call it a
raccoon? Unless your answer is "a suburb of Chernobyl," please stop talking - or call it anything else. Literally,
anything else. Call it a big fat hoax or a crossbred sea cow -- hell, call it a mutated pig with Swine Flu and abandonment issues, but for the love of God,
please stop calling it a raccoon.
