		<description>thom_powell:

Well, it wasn't one sentence.  ;-)

But durned if, after reading yours, I read the blog again, and actually GOT some of it.

See, Carl?  Calm down and you can come across.  lol

And as to witnesses needing to find someone to believe them, I can empathize.  I wouldn't need that (although it sure would be frustrating not to be able to tell somebody the way I do about other critters I've seen).  The evidence has sort of prepared me for the reality.  But I know why they need the support - they KNOW IT DOESN'T EXIST - AND THEY JUST SAW ONE, as real as anything else they've experienced.

Right, Carl?  ;-)</description>

		<description>This complicated passage might be oversimplified into single sentence:

Seeing something like a sasquatch really freaks you out. It challenges one's understanding of reality so severely that one struggles to find an available hook in the closet that is your world view to hang it on.  In the desperate attempt to understand the unfathomable, one turns to unlikely sources like the internet to gain affirmation of the fact that you're not crazy, but looking on the internet makes you crazy.  And you never get the whole answer you are looking for, so there is a breakdown in what he calls interfaces, which is the bridge between you and your sources of information and even your understanding of what is reality.

Sound right?  I've seen this phenomenon at work when interviewing sasquatch witnesses. The NEED to talk to a researcher person in hopes of resolving their confusion for having seen something that isn't supposed to exist.

The article was kinda cute. I think the guy is was a philosophy major who was struggling to apply all those logic classes in some kind or real world way.

Hope this helps, T. Powell</description>

		<description>"Bafflegab" is an awesome word, and it's a perfect descriptor.

"Word of the Day" has nothing on Cryptomundo.</description>

		<description>Pseudo-intellectual bafflegab. Sounds like educationese, where teachers pretend to be highly educated and scientific, butchering the language in the processes.</description>

		<description>That's it. I'm making a t-shirt that says "I heart Blogsquatchery".

Seriously, you know you all want one.</description>

		<description>jerrywayne:  Look, man, it's simple.

He means that the sasquatchian interfacial has disrupted the sequential novitiate paradigm of malfunctionality....

Oh I give up.  This is so whatever-it-is that I can't even imitate it.

And what should scare you all most is that for all you know, what I was starting to say might be RIGHT.</description>

Sounds like Cryptozoology gone Techie.</description>
