Happy Birthday…(only if you give blood)

I like to donate blood--well, as much as anyone can "like" it I guess-but I do it regularly because I have the universal blood type (O+) which everyone can use, so they call me/email me/send me reminders in the mail, etc. all the time.  So today for my birthday I got this email and I thought, oh..how nice of them to send this-until I got to the bottom.

Well….I guess if I can't give blood they just un-wished me a Happy Birthday:(

Hi ANISE WIGHT, We want to take this time to wish you a very Happy Birthday!  Thank you for all you do for Inova Blood Donor Services and the community. Enjoy your birthday! Your friends at Inova Blood Services If you are not eligible to donate blood, please disregard this message.

"BATSQUATCH" coming (hopefully) to a theater near you

I think most people know that I have a fascination (like, mostly just amazed people believe it) with Sasquatch/Bigfoot. However, apparently there’s a creature out there that I just became aware of this very evening…

I was channel surfing and came across the show “Paranormal State”  I have never actually seen this show and thought it had to do with ghosts-which maybe I should have been watching considering the “ghost activity” we’ve been having lately.  The episode didn’t concern ghosts…it concerned UFOs. I was intrigued-however, it went downhill pretty fast. What started as an episode about UFOs outside this ranch where people go to watch them took a horrific turn as the team headed into the woods at night to get their investigation on, and one of the locals began to tell them that something lurked in those woods: Batsquatch.

At the time I was answering a text on my phone, but as I heard the word “…quatch” uttered my interest shot back to the television to see how Sasquatch was brought into this. Then I thought I heard the guy say “Batsquatch” and I didn’t think I heard it right. That’s when the guy revealed a picture he drew of what he believed lived in the woods, and at that point I nearly lost it. This is the image the guy on the show claimed he saw (I actually got if off their website):

That’s right, Batsquatch appears to have the typical Sasquatch body, but with some wings and bat ears. I was in shock, trying to comprehend what I was seeing on TV.

I also found records on cryptozoology sites.  And of course, if that’s not proof enough, you can hear about it straight from the…uh…batsquatch’s mouth at his official site.

I have to say, I was surprised with what I found. Seeing as how I had never heard of it before, I didn’t think I’d find so much random information on the internet, but I did. However, I was sad to see that Batsquatch does not have a Wikipedia page. Maybe I’ll have to go ahead and fix that…

So not only is the name ridiculous, but so is the appearance. It does seem that most reports claim it has either a blue or purple-ish hair covering the body, but as you can see there are several different descriptions of the basic appearance. In some it looks like some kind of bat monster, in others it looks more like a prehistoric flying dinosaur.

I think I just prefer good ol' run of the mill Bigfoot.  The one in our woods seems to be a little more civilized:)
