Telepathic Football Threatens Chilean Teens
VILLA SAN RAFAEL, Chile (Wireless Flash) -- Forget Bigfoot or the Mothman. The newest paranormal creature is a four-legged football.
Believe it or not, a creature matching that exact description has been sighted threatening teenagers in Villa San Rafael, Chile.
Researchers at the Calama UFO Center in Chile claim the mysterious menace has wings, a face like a large bulldog and is "shaped like a rugby football with legs."
Paranormal researcher Dr. Virgilio Sanchez-Ocejo isn't sure if the creature is one of those goat-sucking chupacabras, but admits both animals telepathically communicate with humans.
The winged football is just one of hundreds of strange creatures that have been terrorizing Chile since 1999 and Dr. Sanchez-Ocejo suspects the mysterious beings are entering Chile through a dimensional doorway.
We had rain last night, and on my way to work this morning we had temperature readings near 50 degrees.
Now however, I find out that this COLD front is coming down from CANADA (I swear Habs sent it my way on purpose, coz I want pretty fuscia pj's and he won't make the pasta ones for me). So temps will drop into the 20's by afternoon.
Sighhhhhh,,I want to see my glads bloom, and my stargazer lillies, and my lucifers, and my anemonies...and my crocus......
As the trip had been long and quiet, she stops the car and the Indian woman gets in.
After a bit of small talk, the Indian woman notices a brown bag on the front seat. "What's in bag?" asks the Indian woman.
"It's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband," says the saleswoman.
The Indian lady is silent for a moment then says, "Good trade."
I didn't see that ending coming. FOFL
It's so great to see you. Habs admitted the delivery date on the pj's is 2004 so I'm not EVEN sending pics and measurements until late 2003. You girls tied up the poor little tailor - was that the fun thing to do, now???
Don't laugh.. when I was young my mother kept sending me to one like that... She knew him.. and just didn't believe me...
LOL at the Russian/Roman jerk. If we knew then what we know now, we'd have knocked them back into a previous life, wouldn't we?
I envy your sunbathing. We're not suffering, but it's not as gorgeous as your little chunk of heaven. (FR terribly slow this morning??)
It does look like it's going to be a good day today for swimming and sunning.. My husband just finished putting the hammocks up..so that sounds like good nap material when I'm pooped...
