i saw it at the movies and it was real real creepy...
one of my favorites though was the movie Cal tiki
the moving blob...that could swallow you up
and if you didnt own a tiki doll statue
(hawaian totem pole carved wood)
it was gonna get ya.
during that time though....i began fishing in my brother's kayak
in the charles river...ok
so this one day...i'm paddling around and didnt have a fishing pole
on this particular day....and i chanced to venture into this little cove.
it was formed by the outflow pipe from all the golf courses.
i paddled in there in stealth mode hoping to see some monster fish
and there he was, a big ole pickeral or pike 32 inches long in water a foot
and half deep....sooo big ,beautiful with everything still and silent and calm....
i was mezmerized watching this fish wishing i had a rod.
then right next to it....this log...the size of a football started
to float to the surface and i thought ....hmmm this is really strange.
it was covered in a thick coat of river mud....
SUDDENLY! there was this HUGE Water surge and i was nearly capsized.........
as a gigantic snapping turtle grabbed the pickeral in his jaws and stood up momentarilly with the pickeral struggling real hard to escape thashing and slapping the turtles shell on both sides as a huge wave lifted me and the kayak and pushing me away.
the mud shook loose and i'll tell yah that thing was the biggest scariest
lookin snapper turtle i had ever seen with spiked horns on his head and blood was squirting
what a horendous commotion from a completely dead silence.
hold your arms out in a big half circle.....thats how big it was...
after that TV monsters were no longer as scary and not as real.
