Subject: Any budding Clarkes reading this? $50,000 up for grabs! From: Stu posted Thu, May 1 2008, 5:56pm  Then head on over to Minnesota & have a word with the Lake City Tourism Bureau. And don't be like Steven. Use a digital. Subject: Re: Any budding Clarkes reading this? $50,000 up for grabs! From: GeneralVeers posted Thu, May 1 2008, 8:02pm  i dug this site up a while back, to freak out a resident of Indiana already wary of natural bodies of water (the idea of having swum where monsters have been sighted before didn't sit well with her, heheh)... oddly theres no mention of Lake Pepin in the appropriate section... "Peppie" somehow escaped my years of intense dracontology study (no don't underline dracontology, its a valid field of science dedicated to lake and sea cryptids (well ok it was hijacked from the field of science researching dragons, but w/e)... dang spellcheck (it underlines spellcheck too, sheesh...))... anyways, the site in question: The Online Lake Cryptid Directory i wonder what Bessie, Pressie, Ponik, Naitaka, Manipogo, Igopogo, Cressie, Memphre and all the rest of em are up to these days... Manipogos are kinda cute eh... Subject: Re: Any budding Clarkes reading this? $50,000 up for grabs! From: Stu posted Thu, May 1 2008, 8:05pm  I've never heard of Peppie either, until now. Ness, Kanas, now Pepin - they're all at it. Subject: Re: Any budding Clarkes reading this? $50,000 up for grabs! From: Odagled posted Sun, May 4 2008, 6:15am  Ive never heard of Peppie either, until now. Me neither but I have heard of Peppy Hare Subject: Re: Any budding Clarkes reading this? $50,000 up for grabs! From: Stu posted Sun, May 4 2008, 7:01am  ...

From: Therst posted Thu, May 1 2008, 8:25pm  It's only 7 Hours from me. Stu Your Plane ticket is in the mail, this is going to be great. You bring the crisps and lager. I'll bring the HD Handy Cam, the bait, and the underwater Microphone. Subject: A Poopdeck-ful of Positively Pristine Peppie Pertinences From: Stu posted Thu, May 1 2008, 8:51pm  Here's the page for us seafarin' mercenaries, yarrrrrrrrrrr! I'll bring some pelicans, just in case there's a no-show. One thing - the Wikipedia entry for Lake Pepin states "It has a surface area of about 40 square miles (100 km²) and an average depth of 18 feet (5.5 m)." Where are the 80-foot depths mentioned in the news reports?. The guy lost the photo. Of course. It sounds to me like a poor attempt at trying to rustle up a few tourists, Kanas-style, to come looking for the "monster", to sell a few dish-towels & mugs, to the Monster Quest tweenie zomg!!!! generation. Plain or salt & vinegar crisps, Budvar or Lowenbrau? As a by-the-way (I'm off work today), I trawled & came up with some other references... God bless the Wood family. 'Two short planks' immediately sprang to mind. Lake Pepin Monster Contest Form. $100? $100? Take it to the lake! From the Mississippi Valley Partners Membership Meeting, February 2, 2008, at the National Eagle Center Wabasha, MN (I kid you not)..... Peppie Monster Promotion: Larry Nielson presented a new idea for area promotion. After seeing a PBS film on Lake Champlain about “Champ” their lake monster, he investigated information about any such sightings on Lake Pepin and found the MNHS Almanac of 4-28-1871 noted a first sighting of a Lake Pepin monster. Larry has created a web site www.peppie.net and with the backing of the LCTB is offering a reward of 10,000 for anyone that can document a Lake Pepin sighting of Peppie with a specific photograph and dna testing at the Uof M. He is looking for comments and ideas from the MVP membership about this idea. $10,000? $10,000? I'm not even packing the lager for $10,000! (Don't go looking for www.peppie.net. It's a dead link to an advertising page.) Subject: Re: A Poopdeck-ful of Positively Pristine Peppie Pertinences From: BillB posted Thu, May 1 2008, 11:27pm  I've given them a heads-up. They're warming up to provide sights and sounds for the search. Subject: Re: A Poopdeck-ful of Positively Pristine Peppie Pertinences From: Therst posted Thu, May 1 2008, 11:44pm  Make sure they swim in tight formation for the out of focus shots. See if you can round up a little synchronized dive sequence too. I've already got some t-shirts and coffee mugs ready to print on. Subject: Re: A Poopdeck-ful of Positively Pristine Peppie Pertinences From: Odagled posted Sat, May 3 2008, 8:32am  I'va had a bad experience with pelicans. I even took a picture of the one I had a bad experience with. Subject: Re: A Poopdeck-ful of Positively Pristine Peppie Pertinences From: Therst posted Thu, May 1 2008, 11:39pm  Salt and Vins mate! Did you really have to ask? Budvar and Lowenrau you know how I hate having to leave anybody out. Yeah this is definately looking Kanas-suspect. Tanks fer tha Lanky Links Yarrr the best Stucifer!!!!! Subject: Re: A Poopdeck-ful of Positively Pristine Peppie Pertinences From: Stu posted Sun, May 4 2008, 4:40am  Word's spreadin fast, we mun be quick, yarrrrrrrr!! Subject: Re: A Poopdeck-ful of Positively Pristine Peppie Pertinences From: Therst posted Mon, May 5 2008, 9:49pm  At least Kanas has fun Video Footage. Not even a photoshopped picture from the tourism board for this one.
