Kirkwood Man Languishes in Broadcast TV Hell after Cancelling Cable

Sunday afternoon options: Women's Golf (KSDK), Paid Programming (KMOV), "On Deadly Ground" (FOX2)


"Yeah, I'm saving $60 a month...and flipping between 3 fucking channels. The entire circuit takes less than 10 seconds. Nothingness followed by more nothingness. And "On Deadly Ground"? Seriously? It's Steven Segall in Alaska, circa 1994. Edited for television. With nine 10-minute-long commercial breaks it becomes a 3 hour ordeal. FOX or KTVI or whatever they call themselves apparently have an entire library full of this shit. Last Sunday it was a 3 hour version of "Bird on a Wire". The week before that it was "Rough Cut" with Burt Reynolds. It's enough to make you want to pick up a book." - Ken Anderson of Kirkwood

Sasquatch Sighted in Pacific Northwest

Hoax...or the real McCoy?

The single, grainy photograph taken by a camper near Condon, Oregon last Saturday. Kevin Herbst of Monroe, WA says the creature gorged itself on a goat and made threatening movements before disappearing into the forest.

"It's doubtful we'll ever know what this actually was. It's possible we're looking at a heretofore undiscovered genus of bipedal primate; a "sasquatch" or "yeti" if you will. Then again, it might just be some guy in a Kirstie Alley suit. It's anyone's guess." - Olivia Burwell, anthropolgist and forensic scientist, University of Oregon
