"Today Is The 20th Day Of July In The Year Of Our Lord 2011."
Mornin, Ah Creatures, more precisely weird or mythical. Like I said I was watching Deadliest Catch last night, and two of those Captains went looking for a creature that was on a film taken in a lake in Alaska. Tell you what it was the most authentic film I have ever seen, as far as these sea creatures go.. Long and swimming fast, with a tail motion different than a fish, also a head appeared to breathe, definitely not a fish, and way too slim for a whale. What it was or could be is beyond me. I am not big on the belief that giant reptiles from the dinosaur era are still with us, but that doesn't by any means mean that their can't be some survivors in these far away and deep deep lakes and parts of the oceans. I am not even so big on catching one, as too getting a really good view on a camera. I don't think it is impossible. On the land we have the Yeti or Bigfoot, I have actually known a few of them.. I used to have a Yeti working with me. Not quite Yeti, yet not quite human. We used to call him the Chicken, but he was more dinosaur than Chicken. More on him later. Little known fact, The Creature From The Black Lagoon, was a story about an amphibious Creature that also could walk upright and was almost man like in his visage.. That creature was captured on film for all too see. There was a documentary about it in the 1950's, and they had actual footage of him attacking people in The Black Lagoon, yep, I saw it with my own eyes. I was only maybe 8 or 9 and there was this movie house in the Yunk called The Jefferies, and they had it all on film and showed it too kids and everyone else.. I went home in a trance, I had never seen, hell I had never even heard of anything like that. I was a little shaken to say the least, but there it was on the big screen, and man could this creature swim.. What I found strange was, after everybody got too see The Creature From The Black Lagoon, you never heard of it again, The Creature or The Black Lagoon. If anyone out there has any information on these types of Creatures or has heard anything about The Creature From The Black Lagoon, please feel free too share your knowledge here at Plain and Simple.. Let us know...

Hey simple I knew the creature from the black Lagoon, he was one of the Cropley Brothers that lived on Jamestown Street.His Nick name was Dirt , he hung down the river, The one you saw in the Jefferies was a lil Handsomer than dirt, but being a movie star and all I guess so.But Dirt was a hairy guy and wore those farmer overhauls with the straps, and thats it no shoes just dirty bare feet.Kinda scarey if ya ran into him at night down the river, there were many many reports about the lagoon creature being spotted. The Yunkers would get tourches and rifles and be hunting him down over the river and up and down the canal, when they couldn't find him they got beer and shot rats,It's a lil Known fact they still to this day celerbrate Black lagoon Day's, as a matter of fact it's this Saturday and Sunday it starts by the locks then every one marches over the Black Bridge then up too Coolies Cave. It's sold out every year so if you want tickets let me know! I know a few of the originals, Concho, Mungan etc etc. I'll be back. Shakes my Head and mumbles, it's amazing how Simple brings these things up and "Black Lagoon Day " is this weekend.
Little known fact, after the 50's film about the Creature From The Black Lagoon, the creature got fed up with mankind, especially Dirt and the others that Plain discussed, and skedaddled over to Loch Ness to hang out with another relative. Yep, it's true!
Thanks Plain. Did the Creature From The Black Lagoon, Live by The Black Bridge. If so is he responsible for some of the bites and rashes we used to suffer while swimming in that gunk..Strebor seems you remember that documentary about the Creature. You may have been with me and discussed it over the years. How did he get too Scotland?? Don't tell me he swam the Atlantic. If I am not mistaken The Black Lagoon was like in Florida or Manayunk.. I am a little confused..But like Confucius say.. He that is a little confused. Grow up to be big confused..
Simple, Simple, Simple, how did he get to Scotland - hopped a ride on a submarine, stayed away from the periscope and had plenty of plankton, etc. to eat on the ride over!
Yeah and nobody noticed him...and I'm Simple..
Strebor is correct about the creature hoping a sub-marine ,it is a lil known fact he first grabbed one of the Ragatta Boats during the Ragatta and hitiched a ride to the falls down by the Art Museum and wait til you hear this!!!!!!It was Gus Ignas rowing the boat and he was in first Place when that Darned Creature grabbed on ,Gus was 75 yards ahead and lost on a Photo finish. While all the camotion was going on the creature went over the Falls and grabbed a tug boat and made his way out the Delware River where he hopped an oil Tanker then found a sub when he was off the coast of Ireland he swam to shore and The Irish Knew he was related to the Queen and ran his ass out of town. They thought it was Prince Charles twin.So he wandered around until he could find something as pretty as the Schuylkill River in the yunk and he never could.And one day he was sitting by this lake and was home sick when this Limmey came along and said Blippity Blip and talley ho whats wrong old fella ?And the creature said i'm a mess I should of never left the locks, I wanna drowned myself but I cant.Well when this limey went into town he reported to scotland yard that theres some ugly dirty guy that wants to drowned himself, they ask what his name was and he said Lock Mess i think he said and this is where the Legend of the Lock Ness monster started. Nods I know I know rumors it starts alot of shit. I just wish everyone would find out the real truth before they speak.
Thank you Plain, O' wonderful storyteller for 'splainin' that for Simple.
WOW!! and I think I'm nuts.. This Plain guy is certifiable..They ever put wires in his head it would be a danger too humanity.. Somebody probably peeking in right now, thinks Plain is some kinda secret agent. Instead of realizing he is just an old jedi knight, with connections to the Dail Llama who he wrote Hello Dali for, just a Plain old boy, leave him alone. Quit peekin at him and peek at me.. The Simple one is the one ya have to worry about..
Hmmmmmmmm I just saw that the Lock Mess Monster swam over to Alaskia. There are pictures of him from the guys from the Deadliest Catch. So Simple is right on , on this one. I know this it is Black long and slim so it aint Oprah it may be Bill Russell on Vacation up there in Alaska. Ill Call a few of mysources and get back to ya. Nods and walks away.
C'mere peek at Simple. Some other creatures:
It Came From Outer Space or Beneath The Sea or whatever,
Frankenstein,
Dracula,
Weirwolf,
Mothra,
King Kong,
Them,
Godzilla, etc., etc., etc.
Hey Plain, did you see that picture? Those guys in Alaska, never saw anything like that. It was rather weird. Maybe Bill Russell,that thing had his head, but I think he was a basketball player not a swimmer. Could be wrong. Maybe a giant portabella swimming snake..
I think it was a Boat that tipped over of african Americans with a gator Chasing them. I may be wrong about this but they were moving a lil slow.Prolly 50 knots I know they would be moving faster than that! But then again maybe they were tired.
Damn I am still trying to take all this in. I know it is hot out are you taking water every hour? I didn't know that Yunk stuff. I will keep checking and do some research on these little known facts.
Simple, Plain wants to know if you will caddy for two of the boys Thursday and Friday. A double loop would put some decent change in your pocket for a Sugar House trip. I know you still have one more left in you.
BBL
okqy Simple I found out what it was the Harlem Globe Trotters were on vacation in Alaska and they went on a fishing trip and low and behold there boat sunk.Half of them could'nt swim so they held there hands and feet for every other one( swimmer non swimmer) and there were 10 of them so they measured out to almost 70 feet and the ones that could swim told the others to dance in the water and do the Bump and they made it to shore safe and sound. Glad i could help you out Simple.
And, finally for the real creatures:
Blat
Slat
Billy Goat
Sammy
Greeny
and last but not least as he stands on his toes peering around as to when he will be mentioned, drum roll please drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
the one and only C'mere Kat.
Warning: Simple, the creature from the Black Lagoon has gotten word over in the highlands about P & S Ville. He wants to join the menagerie. Better have round the clock guards to avoid this catastrophe. You might want to even enlist the help of the spiders for this one. I bids you all a good night muuuuhasssshaaaa!
Sorry, that last anon was me - typo!
Yeah Plain sign me up to Caddy Thursday and Friday.. I'll be there whatever time you want.. If I am a little late just wait for me.. Creatures again tomorrow. Gotta get into big foot, sasquatch, yeti and the abominble snowman.
