keeping Elvis out of sight

take a pic of bigfoot there
a blur is all you've got
does bigfoot share
he prefers to not

as a host
he's really not that good
he's more like a ghost
in his own neighborhood

but at being a topic
staying in the conversation
he's like the tropics
for staying on vacation

managing his fame
casting a spell
it is a game
he does well

is he interdimensional
on the loose
is his fame intentional
seems more of a recluse

always strange news
long stares lingering tales
like Howard Hughes
long hair and finger nails

he keeps us in cuffs
tantalizes our brains
exposing just enough
to keep us entertained

like Bob Barker
on The Price Is Right
or ColonelTom Parker
keeping Elvis out of sight

Enjoy your Wednesday.

less is more

bigfoot with giant lungs
many people seek
some with their tongue
in their cheek

running and screaming
and knocking on trees
he's got some people dreaming
more than the birds & the bees

everybody talks about
that he's larger than scale
he could wipeout
a bunch of NFL

bigfoot speaks no grammar
possesses the old Hollywood touch
knows you can only have glamor
if you don't reveal too much

to sell this
he draws with a MAGIC marker
he learned this from ELVIS
and Colonel Tom Parker

The hay adventure came to a close yesterday. I shot so much footage that It will probably turn out to be several videos. In the next day or so I will head out of the holler. While I am still here on the farm I thought it would be a good time to post a really good bigfoot interview with another farm boy. He grew up on a farm and claims that bigfoot or “boogers” as a lot of the people in the south call them have always been on his farm. It is a long interview. So I suggest that you break it down into something like 20 minute segments. I usually take a picture of the time line at the bottom of the screen so I know where to come back to just in case the device that I am watching it on doesn’t automatically start me there the next time. And like I have written before I usually try to do some type of exercise while I view these things so I don’t feel like I have “wasted” so much time.

Mr. Baker gives a fascinating talk. He worked for NASA. So he talks about a lot of the science in his search. He explains everything in a very down to earth manner. He has a fascinating story about a Shofar. That is a horn that he had to track down a Jewish mystic to help him learn to use. His interview is part of The Flash of Beauty you tube channel. It has definitely been one of their more popular interviews. He has another interview where he conducts a tour with them on his farm and he shows them the actual places where the events happened.

There are a lot of great story tellers that come out of the farms of the south. And he is definitely one of them. Enjoy the video.

Elvis the folk singer

30JUN25

a tree or the veil

you find the facts
once you see
it puts an axe
to your tree

a tree you've grown
since your birth
falls to the unknown
roaming the earth

assumptions you have made
you now realize
were some shade
pulled over your eyes

but do not fear
calm your soul
to see clear
is the only way to roll

like wind that blows
know he is there
the big guy knows
that you are aware

was it your tree
that just fell
or is what you see
the presence of the veil

Yesterday I was talking with a good friend about folk music. He was telling me about a band from Middlesboro Kentucky that had been on AGT. They are called the Appalachian Heathens. They had performed a version of Knocking On Heaven’s Door. So that is what had gotten us on folk singers.

My friend was taking a break from yard work. He has quite the green thumb in more ways than one. He is the one who planted the seed in my mind for what would become the blog that you are currently reading. So if you are suffering you know who to blame.

I asked him if he had ever seen the video clip of Arlo Guthrie doing his talk on Elvis the folk singer. I don’t think that he had. I came home and looked it up. I have always thought that it is neat and kind of magical in a way.

We have talked about the vibe more than once in the blog. I really like the vibe and kind of magic that kind of floats in this video. It will be the 2nd entry in the Music (non Hawaiian) section of the blog menu.

Enjoy the vibe and the video as you smile…

bigfoot with video

ai bigfoot is stupid fun

bigfoot with a selfie stick

riding in a clipper
with a warning
just learned the zipper
earlier this morning

jumps from way high
with a scream
they're using ai
& the bigfoot theme

they play around
with a neat trick
a hairy clown
with a selfie stick

videos are various
in the trees
and just as hilarious
as they can be

along he zooms
a real trendsetter
the ones about mushrooms
are even better

A lot of my friends have sent me things in the past because they know that I am fascinated by bigfoot and all of the circus in popular culture that swirls around him. In a way bigfoot is kind of like a version of Elvis that never ages or puts on weight. Now I am pausing and trying to think if I have seen bigfoot in an Elvis jumpsuit. I don’t think that I have. But I would probably bet money that it has been done.

Anyway a couple of days ago a good friend and a kindred spirit texted me some videos that he thought were hilarious. Honestly I am not a big fan of ai. When I built the website for this blog I opted to construct it myself rather than use ai to automatically put it together. But when I watched these videos for the first time they made me laugh out loud. They are ai generated videos with bigfoot running around all over the place chatting into a camera on a selfie stick. The one I have in the blog this morning is of him skydiving. But I think that the ones with him eating mushrooms and then running thru the woods describing the hallucinations are even better. I guess that I have a weakness for things that are stupid and funny.

When I started this blog I wanted a big part of it to focus on the culture that surrounds the big guy. So this definitely falls in that realm. And they seem to be all over the internet right now. Not sure how long they will last but check them out while they are going strong.

I hope that they give you a smile that you hang on to for the rest of your day!
