    Since there has been so much unanswered commentary on all of these blogs and postings. I figured I would come forward to answer any questions anyone may have about the details of our weekend. We don't know if this "creature" is the raccoon we had honored that day, but from the first time we heard about the "Montauk monster" we all had a funny feeling that we were responsible.

    It is the corpse of an scary monster. Or a bloated dead dog.


    "Nanapaushat," my ass. If every fool on Shelter Island was setting the dead on fire annually, it would have rated at least two utterly humiliating photo essays in local publications by now.

    Can't we all just be happy for the lowly Shelter Island raccoon who rose from obscurity to capture the imaginations of an admiring nation? God bless America.

    When I die I want to be rested on 60 cans of Colt 45 witha Roman candle lit in my mouth with a big boom box radio on the float blasting Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust". That's how I'm going out, yeah.

    Maybe it started out on the Yellow Line and then transferred to the Red Line. I think you can do that on one fare.

    "Compleat Accounting"? Are you being ironic here or simply copy-editor-challenged?! WTF, "Complete" is an easy word to spell..

    Seeing as how my friend said they were only "fifteen miles west" of Montauk, its much more feasible that he was guestimating about still being in shelter island territory, John. More likely East Hampton, though he didn't want to admit it...then again, who can trust bar stories? Pictures, on the other hand, are pretty definitive evidence. Unless you think this guy, after running into me, ran home and concocted all these pictures to get a year-late fameball shout-out? Or perhaps had been waiting 1 year until the PERFECT time to release these bogus pictures?

    How exactly does the watermelon fit into this picture? Sounds like a waste of a perfectly good could-be vodkamelon....


    Someone call those Mythbuster dudes to recreate this scenario!
