If It's Not One Thing It's Another

Oh Hell.

Kinda glad that my trip across TX got canceled after seeing this...

I though that during my drive across the great state of Texas all I would have to worry about was not antagonizing the Nazi Youth that run the TDOT weigh stations and instigating a full cavity search...
(Not my cavities- the TSA has done *that* so many times I'm actually starting to enjoy it...)
No, I mean the kind of search where I have to unload tons of crap out of the truck in the delightful Texas sunshine.
The kind of search where they find lots of "Undocumented Workers" hiding in the back of the large commercial vehicle.

Now I learn there are worse things wandering the rest areas and by-roads of the I-10 Corridor...

From Buzz:
A barn in Hood County, Texas, has become ground zero in the hunt for the chupacabra.

Earlier this week, animal control officer Frank Hackett shot and killed what was unquestionably one of the ugliest creatures to ever walk the planet. That much we know. What's less clear is whether or not the departed creature was the elusive goat-sucking beast.

Interestingly, that wasn't the only chupacabra sighting around Hood County. A second creature was spotted and killed several miles away. Both appear to be either hairless coyotes, extremely ugly dogs, or, who knows? Maybe the thing they call el chupacabra.



In the wake of the discovery, Web searches on "chupacabra sightings" and "chupacabra texas" both roared to life, as did Web lookups for "chupacabra translation" and "chupacabra definition." According to Virtue Science, the name literally translates to "goat sucker." Legend states that the beast would attack goats and suck their blood. Think of them as a less sexy version of "Twilight"'s infamous vampire Edward Cullen.

Officer Hackett was careful not to say whether or not this is really the mysterious beast. He's going to wait for the DNA tests before he makes up his mind. There is one thing he does know: "It wasn't normal." And another officer on the scene commented that she'd "never seen anything like it."

Below you can watch the locals discuss their findings, but beware. The images of the creature are quite nasty.

I wonder if these critters could be considered "Anchor Babies"...
