Mister Yuke's Chupacabra Music Video...

Mister Yuke submitted this, this morning. Says he is now going back to his roots and is working on a Polynesian ditty called "The Jehovah Witness War Chant." Oooh Boy.

If you want to sing along, here again are the words:

Chupacabra, why don’t you lower your defenses?
You been out hoppin’ fences and bitin’ the cows
Oh, you’re a mean one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin’ you
Could hurt me somehow

Must you draw the blood of mammals, choop?
There’s room at my kitchen table
a vegetarian diet is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine goats
are safely sleeping in my stable
And you only want the ones that you can’t get

Chupacabra, warm blood you love to monger
Your thirst and your hunger, they’re makin’ you crazed
You’re hairless, oh hairless. Well, you must always be chilly
Carnage in the village, Loren Coleman would be dazed.

Don’t your teeth get cold in the winter time?
Eyes full of tears and your back full of spines
Its hard to tell if you’re mammal or reptile
You’re jumpin’ ‘round like a kangaroo
Aint it funny how you always bring a smile?

Chupacabra, why don’t you come to your senses?
You know you’re our favorite cryptid, we think that you’re great
It may be rainin’, but there’s a blood puddle around you
You better let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you, before its too late

Mister Yuke is back in town. Drops off Chupacabra song.

Looking very tanned, he asked me if I could post this song for him. He says there's a video in the works too. Shudder. Not much uke music, but OK, I guess.

He says his fretting hand is injured. Whatever that means. I can attest that his left hand looked like it has been repeatedly mangled. Blood still oozing through the bandages. Yuck.

Says he spent the winter "South." That's all he would disclose. When I asked about the injury, he said the song might help explain it. Terribly mysterious.



He wanted to make sure that everyone had the words so they could sing along. So there you go. Here's the song.

Chupacabra, why don’t you lower your defenses?
You been out hoppin’ fences and bitin’ the cows
Oh, you’re a mean one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin’ you
Could hurt me somehow

Must you draw the blood of mammals, choop?
There’s room at my kitchen table
a vegetarian diet is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine goats
are safely sleeping in my stable
And you only want the ones that you can’t get

Chupacabra, warm blood you love to monger
Your thirst and your hunger, they’re makin’ you crazed
You’re hairless, oh hairless. Well, you must always be chilly
Carnage in the village, Loren Coleman would be dazed.

Don’t your teeth get cold in the winter time?
Eyes full of tears and your back full of spines
Its hard to tell if you’re mammal or reptile
You’re jumpin’ ‘round like a kangaroo

Chupacabra, why don’t you come to your senses?
You know you’re our favorite cryptid, we think that you’re great
It may be rainin’, but there’s a blood puddle around you
You better let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you, before its too late

UFO Phil Triumphs!!

What a great night! Met Jacque at the Baby bar. There were other UFO Phil revelers gathered, but we didn't know them and they didn't know us, so we had no way of knowing they were with us. Even though the Baby Bar is a smallish place, there are many interdimensions, apparently.

We had a couple beers and then biked down to the show, where Sarah and the boys were waiting. UFO Phil was in the lobby, working the crowd.

The show started and what a show it was. There was a Q and A session at the end where I was able to ask a question that has plagued my family for years (probably yours too).

"Is George Noory (the host of AM Coast to Coast) really a computer generated disembodied voice, as some have suggested?"

UFO Phil was kind of evasive. I can't say that I blame him. He is in deep with a lot of technological experimenting - the kind of stuff the general public (ignorant villagers) seem to be very afraid of. I left with the impression that if Noory is a computer, he is not malevolent, which is about all any of us can ask for. I know when to quit asking questions. And I did (quit).

After the movie, Jacque pedaled off to another event, and I pedaled home. It was raining pretty hard - prime abduction weather, in my book. I was more scared of the green, Keystone-ice -fueled St Patrick's Day Zombie motorists, however.

TONIGHT TONIGHT TONIGHT!!!!

UFO PHIL - BABY BAR CYCLING MEET-UP!

I am going to be down there about 7 or so. Then we have to leave at 8:15 to get to the movie on time. Glug glug.

I think it is too early to break out the XtraCycle. Although it seems like an Xtracycley event. I will probably just ride the winter warrior on down.

Just got home from a very sad funeral. It was great seeing so many friends there, but it sure underscores how we need to have a good time with each other while we can.

If you have no idea what I am talking about regarding UFO Phil, or the ride, please see the last two posts.

UFO Phil Cycling Harmonic Convergence at the Baby Bar!

Thanks to Jacque at Fresh Abundance for organizing this one! Here are the details.

Note: A bicycle is a more sure-fired and safe way to get to this gala event than a car. There are no CPUs or circuitry for aliens to interfere with. If you are abducted going to this event, you will have the roadrash to prove it, plus many cycling witnesses.

There is strength in numbers. However, if you are foolish enough to put an alien on your handlebars, there is little we can do. You are on your own. Really.

UFO Phil - March 14th at the Magic Lantern!

In between the many "emergency" responses at night, I would often listen to AM Coast to Coast with George Noory / Art Bell. There were a couple of us (Ok it was just me and Chucky) who would have radios stashed under our pillows in the bunkhouse. When the alarm went off, we would often compare notes on our way to an athletes foot emergency.

One of our favorite callers into the show was UFO Phil. His astute observations and panache were sure-fired conversation starters.

I had heard rumors that UFOP lived around here. It makes sense, especially since Mel, of Mel's Hole, is rumored to be from Yakima (I know Wikipedia says Ellensburg). No wonder they made so many X-Files episodes in the Pacific Northwest. I watched the first five minutes of this documentary and it sounds like UFO Phil lives around (in or around) Mt. Spokane!!

My entire family is ready for this movie. I can barely wait. It's on the internet already, but I am going to deprive myself so I can see it on the big(ger) screen.

Counting the days!!!

An empty solder container makes a nifty mini vase. Plus it really makes the Winter Warrier Cycle look tougher.
