Subject: "Drunks in Northern Minnesota claimed they killed a river monster" From: sasquatchsteve posted Thu, Nov 5 2009, 10:25pm  Why do we have to suffer through this never ending nonsense, gee they were drunk on homemade hillbilly wine (a nice touch). Sloppy guys with stories (maybe) or a bored article writer, read all the flowery prose, who knew that drunks could provide this recall detail. I love "The kickback of the 12 gauge knocked Wally backward and out into the drink". This doesn't happen, maybe in a TV show -"I love Lucy" era. Anyone here ever fire a 12 gauge, not that much recoil, maybe Wally had a bazooka.

Once I was duck hunting in a boat, and my brother jumped suddenly to get some ducks coming over head. But I was half standing up at the time, and I fell down in the boat. My brother yells "SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT!", and I, laying on my back, and seeing big fat ducks flying over me, pointed the gun up, with one hand, and fire... and the butt of the gun came back and smacked me in the face, giving me a black eye. I know. Not very "safety conscious" to do something like that. But, I was like 21. Young, dumb, and full of .. well never mind.

Subject: Re: "Drunks in Northern Minnesota claimed they killed a river monster" From: Ella posted Fri, Nov 6 2009, 1:53pm  The fact that they were drunk says it all. Was the river monster pink with elephantine features? Subject: Re: "Drunks in Northern Minnesota claimed they killed a river monster" From: ConstantReader posted Fri, Nov 6 2009, 4:37pm  As far as elephantine features, sounds like at least the trunk was involved. Don't know where the rest was.........

As for the river monster, maybe "Trunko" has resurfaced! :D Subject: Re: "Drunks in Northern Minnesota claimed they killed a river monster" From: ConstantReader posted Sat, Nov 7 2009, 10:55am  Thank you, Ella, and I passed your compliments on to "the boys". You could be right, maybe it IS Trunko. Or is that what they're calling moonshine these days? {80) Subject: Re: "Drunks in Northern Minnesota claimed they killed a river monster" From: Ella posted Sat, Nov 7 2009, 12:34pm  Well, since Trunko was most probably the dead and decomposing body of a basking shark, this creature was probably a figment of the dead and decomposing minds of the drunkards! :D :D Subject: Re: "Drunks in Northern Minnesota claimed they killed a river monster" From: ConstantReader posted Sat, Nov 7 2009, 5:54pm  You got that right, Ella! Case closed. Subject: Re: "Drunks in Northern Minnesota claimed they killed a river monster" From: LadyGreenEyes posted Mon, Nov 9 2009, 6:32pm  Only if they were really drunk could I see that happening. I figured a 12 gauge when I was tiny, like 110 pounds, and didn't come close to falling over. Didn't even step back. What gets me is why were they firing guns that drunk? Lucky they didn't shoot each other or some innocent person. Subject: Re: "Drunks in Northern Minnesota claimed they killed a river monster" From: Ella posted Tue, Nov 10 2009, 11:28am  They were firing guns that drunk because they were drunkards! (Alcoholics, no doubt.) It's a very common occurrence here in Texas.... Subject: Re: "Drunks in Northern Minnesota claimed they killed a river monster" From: LadyGreenEyes posted Wed, Nov 11 2009, 6:42pm  Sadly, true a lot of places. So, what is it that they claim to have killed? I didn't see a link anywhere. Subject: Re: "Drunks in Northern Minnesota claimed they killed a river monster" From: Ella posted Sat, Nov 14 2009, 11:05am  Me either, no link--maybe they were too drunk to even give a description and just said "a monster". :D Subject: Re: "Drunks in Northern Minnesota claimed they killed a river monster" From: LadyGreenEyes posted Fri, Nov 20 2009, 3:11pm  That I can believe. Was hoping for a link for a good laugh. Ah, well.
