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.

[grannie9]

in distress

[GoodyBrown]

Hah! yer right. I've just been hanging out thinking my usual evil thoughts. And I've been meaning to send letters of apology to all I have offended but the copy machine is broken. Maybe take up tatting...nope needlepoint...A pillow done up with the saying: "If you are one who everyone abhors; mayhap you are not a bore." What yew tink?

[grannie9]

LOL.. My father used to give me a little sideways boot on the fanny... and say..."that's for nothing..now do something."

Or, if I had a really silly day.. he would always say.."you're going to be crying before the days over." I always was, because I always went just a bit too far....

[GoodyBrown]

Wahaha - A lady in a hammock could get...stung. (By a bee or something)

[grannie9]

I "tink" I want to know all the people you've offended... I really can't believe that of you.. Must be someone else.. and you just want an excuse to take up tatting...and use the copier.. Tatting? Been there, done that... it sucks..

[GoodyBrown]

Sucks bigtime. I learnt it from my misguided grandmother.

Pillowcases galore.

[GoodyBrown]

You are a stand-up gal. One of the best. (Sorry to sound like u know who)

[palo verde]

Dads are so wonderful...indeed, my daddy was a strict one, but a fair one, and full of love for us kids...when he got sick with cancer, he only lasted a few months, but it broke my heart...I had the privilege of taking care of him until he died, tho...it was so hard to see the man who had been so big and strong, and strict now be so small, and weak and sick...but taking care of him, was of great joy to me...he gave me much, and it was pleasing to me, to be able to give back to him...I sure do miss him..

[andysandmikesmom]

I have also gone down in flames at ebay....get carried away and spend tons of money...ah, but its so much fun...

[andysandmikesmom]

Your dad and my dad sound like kindred spirits...I feel so sorry for so many of todays kids, who grow up without fathers...sometimes fathers dont get the credit due them

One thing I remember about growing up...my mom was a funny kind of gal...she had a lot of problems which we never really realized until much later in her life...she was probably clinically depressed, and had severe mood swings while we were kids...sometimes she just went a bit looney, and she became an almost too strict disciplinarian...it was always dad that rescued us kids from her, when she went overboard...

He put up with quite a bit from her, but never ever thought of leaving her...he loved her so, and we kids saw that...we knew that even when she wasnt quite right at times, Dad would be there to make things right...

Hi Goody
I figure the acceleration first arrived 'bout a month ago
I remember my right-wing friends visited on Thursday evening
my left-wing friends visited on Friday evening
and Saturday when I got on FR I wandered over to a political thread
it turned into a bigger adventure than I anticipated
you must have lurked on it
cause I received 3 freepmails from you with a propos quotations from Shakespeare lol
Love, Palo

sweet goodybrown, a friend in need is a friend indeed

[palo verde]

hi Goody, how sweet of you to remember the post 'bout my dad's joy in giving directions
you are a honey bun
hi andysmom
I agree with you dads don't get the credit they deserve
maybe cause I pulled away from him when I became a teenager
I used to close the door to my room and spend hours talking to my friends on phone
my dad used to write poetry on the long subway ride coming home from Seward Park high school (where he taught)
to Flushing
when I was lil girl he took my favorite fairy tales and turned them into poems
which delighted me no end
but when I became a teen ager he wrote a poem called ''the closed door''
how he would come in to tell me something
and I would interrupt my phone call to say ''yes, what do you want, I am busy now
can you close the door''
it must have been hard for him because I used to adore his company when I was a child
I don't know what to think 'bout the choices I made as a teenager
they all seem like foolish choices now, cause they brought me no happiness
Love, Palo

am I the only one here who read by the book by the LA metropolitan city desk editor
who had that ET experience
he spent a week with the ETs on their ship
the woman he became friends with said on her planet
the ''kids'' live with their parents till they're 90
of course on her planet everyone lives till they are 2500 years old
which she said is the upper limit for how long humans can live
Love, Palo

I envy you your rounded experience with your father where, in yet another way, the child becomes the father (mother) to the man.

[GoodyBrown]

When I was a child all I wanted was a job and an apartment. And you think you were bad news as a teen.

[GoodyBrown]

Bubbele- It was that thread that got me posting on a political website again. I posted on LDotty in the summer of 1999 when it first began and then later hardly ever.

[grannie9]

All right.. I'm back.. let me catch up on the thread.. and see what's up... I stuffed myself and feel like a pig, but I still like New England cooking...

My hubs in the hot spa..but if I get in now.. I know I'll die..

[andysandmikesmom]

You are certainly correct about that...the father becoming the child, and the child becoming the mom...it was even more pronounced with my mom....One of the reasons I had to take care of dad, was that mom was about in the middle stages of Alzheimers, so she did not understand the care that dad needed....

After he died, I kept her in her own home, for a while, and then brought her to live with me , and my family....in the end, she thought she was only a young teenager, and that I was her mother...she would sometimes call me 'mommy'...I had to do everything for her, that she did for me when I was a baby...feed her, dress her, change her diapers, etc. etc...I have often been struck that Shakespeares ages of man, is very often so true for some....
