You can't make this stuff up.

You just CAN'T.



Y'all, these are my PEOPLE. I mean, not that I'm related to them--just that this happened a few miles up the road.  Welcome to my home. Where the toothless rednecks spot bigfoot, draw a picture of him, and name him Knobby.



Y'all, this got on CNN. It's all anyone can talk about.

I love my home!

*North Carolina high-five*

And was that, um, a homemade bullhorn??

On the bright side, wouldn't you want that guy's mustache on your side in a post apocalyptic world? I think yes.

Consider yourself lucky. All we have in Arkansas are skunks. And the occasional black bear.

Here's my favorite line from the story:

"What if you spot a Knobby-esque creature fiddling through your trash? Spotters say the walking legend isn’t aggressive, but police say to take caution anyway."

Oh my, good grief. I think our states are closer than we think. Hah!! That's great. I love your voice in this post.

I saw this on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. This guy's everywhere. I'm wondering how many of your regular readers can understand him.

I'll have to show this to my parents. They're planning on moving to North Carolina in a couple of years. I'll have to tell them to look out . . . both for Knobby and well, folks like this guy.

I love my North Carolina home! I'll be back next month and will keep my eyes open. Now that I live in southern IN, we have the Crosley monster.

Now that would make a great story! =)

Perhaps they can make this stuff up! They might be world-class storytellers.

That drawing is too realistic to be a hoax!

O.M.G. I am dying laughing!!!

And WTH is yowlish gray?? If it was 10 feet tall and the other guys thought it was a bird -- dude, it was Big Bird!!

I'm suddenly 7 years old and freaked out because my Mom was watching a "documentary" on bigfoot.

I kinda feel sorry for this guy. You KNOW when the news crew shows up they're just gonna be making fun of you later, but he's clueless.

Oh! My word verification above was 'nessie' so clearly blogger is trying to tell us something here. There must be a relationship between Knobby and the Loch Ness Monster, eh?
