My bud,  Zamora The Torture King, was on his way to a gig in San Fran yesterday when he saw “The Stephen King Killed John Lennon”  guy heading north on I-5 near the grapevine and snapped a photo of his cool van. (I wonder if he has luck picking up chicks with it?)

Find more about “The Stephen King Killed John Lennon” guy at the URL painted on his cool van.

Just the other day, I received the following newsflash from my friend Zamora, The Torture King in regards to retro UFO’s…

The following links are of two of the earliest movie and TV representations of flying saucers. The first is a trailer for the movie The Flying Saucer which is said to be the first fiction film about flying saucers. It is also supposed to be tied in with some of the info that got into Frank Scully’s book Behind the Flying Saucers.

The second is something I stumbled upon, an episode of one of the first science fiction TV series that used flying saucers as a plot element and even has a reference to a crashed saucer and a guy who claims to have debris from the crash site.

The Flying Saucer (1950)

Tales of Tomorrow: Search for the Flying Saucer (1951)

After receiving the above info in an email, I forwarded it to Regan Lee, your beloved LOWFI Oregon Bureau Chief as well as proprietor of the Vintage UFO blog as I thought this would be of interest to her. It should be noted that Regan and I email very infrequently, and it had been quite some time since we  had exchanged emails, as I had sent the above retro UFO related info to her at the spur of the moment. Shortly thereafter I received a followup email from Regan, which seemed indeed synchronistic given the timing:

This last Saturday, Sept 5th (note the Discordian significance of the number 5!), I attended my 30^th high school reunion, which was somewhat surreal and also a lot of fun. The highlight of the night was table dancing to La Bamba. Anyway, the theme of the reunion was “Casino Royale” and part of the festivities included blackjack and craps tables, which I partook of just briefly. I probably placed no more than 8 bets, and on three bets I placed my chips smack dab on the number 23 (another number of great Discordian significance!) and on 2 of 3 (2 +3 = 5) bets, the number that came up was 23! No shit. Wonder what the odds are of that? My wife just shook her head, but she’s used to these sort of things happening in my presence.

The next day, I was doing some cleaning of my files, and came across  a letter from my pal Badkins dated April 2003 (2 + 0 + 0 + 3 = 5) which was written on the back of  the “Challenge A Live Chicken” flyer above. (Note how the prize was $5,000) and of course, the date, May 23, (5/23), the most holy date in Discordianism. Here’s what Badkins said in his letter…

“…Adam, what do you think of this chicken? Her name is Ginger. (I think they have several.) There’s forty or fifty people lined up in the middle of the casino to play tic-tac-toe with this chicken. I don’t know what to think. I watched some guy lose, and he had the most uncomfortable embarrassed expression on his face, and everyone is looking at him. I don’t know what I would have done…Yelled out like Gomer Pyle, “Golllly, that sure is one smart chicken!” The thinking behind the whole thing escapes me. Either the casino thinks their average customer is stupider than a chicken, or some executive has had this genius pet chicken that he’s wanted to exploit. I told a pit boss that they should have a chicken with a peg leg. When people ask about it, respond with, “Well sir, that chicken has made about a million dollars for this casino. Yesssir, a chicken that good, well, you don’t eat all at once.” He didn’t laugh…”

While writing this post, in between watching “V For Vendetta”, I noticed a number of possible Discordian numerical references in the film, the first of which was the significance of November 5^th…”Remember, remember, the 5^th of November…”

Then, another line in the film: “May 23rd, the first batch of subjects have arrived…”

I found these references to be more than mere coincidence, and perhaps quite synchronous, which was further illuminated by what was perhaps the most significant line in the movie, when V said:

“There are no coincidences, Delia… only the illusion of coincidence.”

Hail Eris!

Dead cows continue to sit at the bottom of Fresno River

Neighbors are growing angry over dozens of dead cows in the Fresno river near Coarsegold.

The cows died after they fell off a steep cliff to the rocky bottom below.

Madera County Environmental Health Department has scheduled a town hall meeting Tuesday night to discuss this issue with the people who live up near the river.

But those residents say they’re tried of talking and they just want to see some action.

Apparently our old homeboy Chupacabra is considering a serious comeback what with all the recent hubub revival of Bigfoot, as exhibited in the following link which also has embedded in it a video purporting to be of a dead and decaying Chupa, although I couldn’t get the damn thing to play so you’ll have to mess with it yourself.

Back in the day (”back in the day” being roughly 10 years ago) I was listening to Art Bell one night when someone called in reporting a new type of Chupacabra called “Vergacabra” which Art totally bit into, and which got me doing one of those ROTFLMAO things because me speaks poquito spanish and as anyone with an el spanol potty mouth knows, verga=penis, so you can figure out the rest for yourself.

Chupacabra, we salute you!

The flying sorcerer in the photo above was allegedly snapped right before the start of the recent wildfire which occurred in Auburn, California. The following link alludes to some sort of connection between said wilfdire and the appearance of this mystery craft.

Another apparent anomaly related to the recent NorCal and SoCal fires was this pic of an air tanker dropping retardant on the Yukipa Fire, which seems to show a ghostly face protruding from the pink retardant.
