Even Vermonters with idiotic crytozoology stories do not buy that.<BR/><BR/>Legendary Vermont tall tales Catamounts. None cited since the 1880. Lynx have been seen in the Northeast Kingdom but zero Cougars.<BR/><BR/>Bigfoot has also been seen in the Northeast Kingdom probably wearing a tye dye T shirt.<BR/><BR/>There is the local legend of a Loch<BR/>Ness type of monster in Lake Champlain that is seen by drunks.<BR/><BR/>There is the Werechuck half woodchuck that is seen only by drunks on full moon nights. The were chuch was revealed to be a racoon with its head caught in a can of Jolly Green Giant String Beans. A local Abenaki ( Vermont Indian) took the can off the animal who collapsed. The racoon ambled off toward the river.beakerkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06088967209404588378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-82711528956467341642007-08-17T22:02:00.000+01:002007-08-17T22:02:00.000+01:00LOL Roger!LOL Roger!jams o donnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17315325008175184363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-8302068443232275142007-08-17T19:10:00.000+01:002007-08-17T19:10:00.000+01:00Should that be squirrel pies?Should that be squirrel pies?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19492813.post-38920546273486648692007-08-17T17:41:00.000+01:002007-08-17T17:41:00.000+01:00Oh yes, Roger and for good reason.

Britain ccertasinly did meddle in Iranian/Persian affairs over the years so old suspicions die hard... even if some of the accusations are ludicrous.
