Comments on: The New Yorker: “The Cryptozoologist” (A Critique) http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/new-yorker-cryptozoologist/ for Bigfoot, Loch Ness, and More Wed, 15 Oct 2008 19:27:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Loren Coleman http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/new-yorker-cryptozoologist/#comment-957 Loren Coleman Sun, 15 Jan 2006 12:31:57 +0000 http://www.cryptomundo.com/cryptozoo-news/the-new-yorker-the-cryptozoologist/#comment-957 Ha ha. Very funny. Yes, I live in southern Maine today. We don't like to be called "damn Yankees" here because most of us are Boston Red Sox fans. Personally, due to my growing up in southern Illinois, going to Southern Illinois University as an undergrad, I'm a big fan of the St. Louis Cards. And I taught and did research for a couple decades at the University of Southern Maine, I'll have you know. :-) And to top off my southern background, gosh darn it but I was born in Virginia. Ha ha. Very funny.

That's a good one. Totally enjoyed reading that. But what, my CSA insight was not appreciated in Australia? :-) Oh, well, instead of a "literary critique of this effort at capturing cryptozoology," I knew I should have done a political essay on the remark regarding the shooting of Andrew Wyeth. But then, being in Maine, it seemed too close to home, and we here think his art is wicked good. Okay, mate, next time I'll be more satiral in both directions. Cheers. Ha ha. That’s a good one. Totally enjoyed reading that.

If you can become as good at recognising satire as you are at reporting it, there'd be no stopping you. Because if you master the evaluation side of research as well as the collecting side, you'd be on your way to writing some really insightful stuff.
