Here's a great story with pictures that completely fits in with our theme: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=573&ncid=757&e=2&u=/nm/20030702/od_nm/chile_creature_dc ~Hanford [ Edited by: hanford_lemoore on 2003-07-02 16:54 ]

Forgeddaboudit. Hmmm... Maybe it can replace the raw egg used in the original Chilean Pisco Sour recipe. Maybe this giant mass IS the so-called 'raw egg' (those touristas will never know the difference!) in the original Chilean Pisco Sour recipe. The secret ingredient is no longer secret!

W woofmutt Member Seattilite Telstar Joined: Mar 26, 2002 Posts: 2639	W woofmutt Posted posted on Sat, Jul 19, 2003 12:48 AM Hmmm- Tikifish poses an almost intriguing question. Okay, it is intriguing. I have no theory. I do have personal history of consuming many a tome on Bigfoot, UFO's, and various freakishnessess until one day I realized I didn't believe any of it and started focussing my attention on Penthouse, etc (I think that day must have been around puberty). So, I have no theory to a Tiki connection (my Tiki fixation came via a love of Las Vegas artificial environments) and I ask Tikifish to drop the coyness and post her theory.

I heard about it on the radio and the next day on TV news and then here. Maybe "they" were hoping we'd all just forget about it. Maybe "they" don't want us to know....
