Monkey Year!
The COHOMO is a wonderful subject which graces the folklore of East Peoria
area. This little word stands for the Cole Hollow Monster, which is
the East Peoria moniker for the Bigfoot. It was months ago, but I
went out on a excursion to find any traces of a COHOMO living in the
woods.
The first item to look for when searching for a mystical beast is the
living areas. For instance, the bigfoot is known to cut down
branches in a 'Y' formation, lie in grass creating its bodily imprint, and
leave feces which resembles jet-splattered diarrhea.
To my astonishment on day 1 I found 2 out of the 3 necessities.
Guess which one I was unable to discover. Yeah, I just couldn't find
anything except plain old poop logs. Drat, maybe next time.
The blog will have my snaps of the abode known as Casa de Cohomo!

the moment head on over the lovely blog...
Little bit of a trivia note about the night-fishing-dude
below
he was also born in the year of the monkey.
I try to make things current here.
Special REPORT: The big panthers of Illinois
No creature strikes fear in the hearts of Midwestern farmers than the
possible existence of panthers. The myth results from a long history
of cat paranoia in Illinois. In fact the myth was so believed that a
city was named after the presence of these mysterious creatures, Decatur.
Trust me that is a fact. Rather than have me sit you down and teach
you the endearing history of this beloved mystery, I will give you an
eyewitness account. This was an occurrence by a citizen/farmer Joey.
On the night of July 12 1980 he was out fishing...

Hello my name is Joey and I am 48 years old. hahah i am not really
old though I think i look young. peopel say i look like yul brynner
from westworld. that movie waz cool becuz it had robots and cowboys
and themeparks. I don't think it had cats though. OH yeah I
want to tell you about my cat incounter from the other day. I was
sittin on my buket night fishing on the spoon river when eye herd a
loud russling noiz from the grasses behind my back. I then heard a
loud hissing sound you know like the one a cat makes win it is hungary or
mad. I remember yul brynner shot alot of peeple in that movie it
rocked! I took up singing and dancing to bee like him. the cat
was really scary sounds. i then ran too the road where my car was
and sit in there for a few hours. I left my food four the night with
my bucket. In morning I contacted the sherrif about the event.
In proof we went to my bucket and my night fishing food was gone!
And there were a lot of scratch marks and paw prints. BIG prints
tooo!! That is what happened to me and now I believe in the big cats
of ILLINOIS! I hope i get to visit a robot themepark this year with
my dad.

Koala Comfort
Some of the best candy and confectionaries on this good earth come
from the land known to us as Japan. Sure some of the soda might not
be the sweetest, sugary stuff you have tasted, but putting candy into new
and exciting vehicles is a gigantic plus. In fact, some of my
favorite strawberry candy comes in the shape of a lil koala bear with a
design penciled on to the top of the bear doing all sorts of crazy
activities. So I was quite thrilled when I received a few bags from
my brother. Nothing tastes better than a koala playing tennis with a
creamy strawberry filling that makes sgt. pepper jealous.

#1 Crush shouldn't be playing while I did this, now I feel dirty
In commemoration of the upcoming Valentine's Day I produced a new
e-card to send out to your adored paramour. The past few V-Days I
have put together Martin Kove cards, but this year I was drawn to a new
motion-picture star. No doubt when your lover sees this in their
mailbox you'll get a huge rewarding, "huh?"

VS Super Mario Bros
This lovely game found its way into my heart as a fun arcade game capable
only by the generous mame. The vSMB game at first glance appears to
be nothing more than a straight port of the first game to the arcades.
Of course this would be called jumping-the-gun. The arcade game has
variations of the levels and is a fun time-waster. I recommend
taking it for a spin to see what differences you can find.
Definitely Maybe ++jan 26++
The weekend was quite enjoyable. Let me start off with the
beginning. Friday I went to sleep around 7 but was in that
semi-conscious state. In fact, I was able to lie down with Hannity
talking out my radio and proceeded to listen to all of coast to coast as
well. I was fortunate enough to hear all about politics and the
hidden confederate gold! oh my The reason I was taken to lala land
so early was because of my sudden infection of some throat ailment.
Of course this was soon followed by a ugly beautiful bout of mucus and the
like. Saturday was better. My dog was fortunate enough to
experience one of those rare moments of gratitude where I go out and buy
her a couple bones and some pig ears. It was fairly funny to see the
big lug prance around showing everyone her brand new bone. Then
intent on devouring the thing sat on her bead, the bone never stood a
chance. The pig ears are gone faster than I can open the package.
Those things fascinate me. With all the talk of Native Americans'
reputation of saving and using everything, you would think American
capitalism would get some credit for using all parts of everything.
From fried cow-brains to pig-ears...I think we deserve some credit.
Those ears are freaky too. They look like gremlins ears and some
even still have little hairs poking out. Mmmm...only a dog would
love such a thing. Sunday I left before the sun peeked up, because I
wanted to skip the snowstorm and ice storm that was supposed to be
arriving. I say supposed to for a good reason. The thing must
have not made it past customs, the worst I've seen is a few snowflakes.
Well I'm off to take more cold medication and read and read and read and
read and write and think about the boz!
I have to get some batteries for my camera!
