Nick’s Pic Of The Day

I thought I might make this week a bit of a Puerto Rican-themed one in my “Nick’s Pic Of The Day” section. And so, here’s yet another shot taken on my 2005 excursion to the island in search of the diabolical Chupacabras.

At a local level, a lot of interest was shown in our activities as me, Paul Kimball, and his film crew roamed the island in search of vampires. But none were more inquisitive than this porky fellow whose sinister, eagle-eyes followed our every move as his owner related to us how his farm had been subjected to a particularly weird Chupacabras attack that had been followed up by a visit from none other than the dreaded Men in Black (or in this case, one Man in Black and one WIB - a Woman in Black).

The 007-style piggy watched carefully, never missing a thing, carefully taking in every conversation, and no doubt evaluating every bit of data in whatever way it is that pigs evaluate data.

If the CIA wanted to solve - in minutes - the mystery of the Chupacabras, they could do worse than employ the investigative skills of this bacon-based detective.

Despite my earnest attempts to convince him otherwise, Paul politely declined my suggestion that we give the pig $100 dollars in expenses to seek out our monstrous quarry for us, while we go back to San Juan and drink cocktails in the hotel bar.

    Paul:

    Yes I think that the entire pig was likely crammed into that gigantic burger you ate as we left the rain forest one night - remember it?!

  4. paulkimball Says:

    Mmmm… Fuddruckers 1 pound burger. Mmmm…

    Sure beat your tuna salad sandwich! :-)

    Hahaha, you are not wrong there! I well remember developing Monte’s revenge after eating that thing!

    “Arnold, is that you, dahling?”

    Green Acres reference, for those of you unfamiliar with the old series. Especially you classy, sophisticated Brits who may not have enjoyed our hokey downhome farm humor. Rather, you gave us Benny Hill, Brilliant!, the Young Ones and the Teletubbies.

    OK, I loved all except the Teletubbies. I am convinced they are evil…

  7. Bill Hancock Says:

    Arnold did something very naughty…and very gauche…to Eva Gabor on Johnny Carson’s “Tonight” show once, years ago…something involving “nature’s call” (hey, even when you’re a pig, when ya gotta go, ya gotta go!). Maybe HE ended up as Barbecue himself!

    As for Benny Hill….ahhh. One of great suave cosmopolitans of the world. Cary Grant must have been seethingly jealous of such an elevated level of savoir faire. Even Harpo Marx was frosted.

    But Ree, you are absolutely right about these Teletubby things. Aleister Crowley conjured them at Boleskin House on Loch Ness back in the 40s and they were so evil (not to mention utterly obnoxious) back then that all the plesiosaur Tulpas packed up and went to live with their cousins at Loch Morar for three and half years.

  8. Nick Redfern Says:

    I cannot disagree - the Teletubbies are a kind of a surreal axis of evil, mixed with more than a liberal dose of psychedelics.

    The Young Ones was a great show.
