Chupacabra Sighting Times Two

[Sandy Eggo]

A barn in Hood County, Texas, has become ground zero in the hunt for the chupacabra.

Earlier this week, animal control officer Frank Hackett shot and killed what was unquestionably one of the ugliest creatures to ever walk the planet. That much we know. What's less clear is whether or not the departed creature was the elusive goat-sucking beast.

Interestingly, that wasn't the only chupacabra sighting around Hood County. A second creature was spotted and killed several miles away. Both appear to be either hairless coyotes, extremely ugly dogs, or, who knows? Maybe the thing they call el chupacabra.

In the wake of the discovery, Web searches on "chupacabra sightings" and "chupacabra texas" both roared to life, as did Web lookups for "chupacabra translation" and "chupacabra definition." According to Virtue Science, the name literally translates to "goat sucker." Legend states that the beast would attack goats and suck their blood. Think of them as a less sexy version of "Twilight"'s infamous vampire Edward Cullen.

Officer Hackett was careful not to say whether or not this is really the mysterious beast. He's going to wait for the DNA tests before he makes up his mind. There is one thing he does know: "It wasn't normal." And another officer on the scene commented that she'd "never seen anything like it."

Lolly! You've got to notify the ELFs or is it the PPDC or something?

We already know. In fact, we did it. The chupacabras had been steadily migrating north, and cross-breeding with native varmints (did I tell you about the winged possum?) to the extent the folks in southern Indiana were in true peril.

Fortunately Morgan, commander and spiritual leader of the PPDC, managed to distill a potent new form of repellent -- incorporating certain ingredients suggested by Palehorse, so give yourself a big "attaboy," PH -- which has sent the nasty suckers scurrying back south.

But this does not mean we in the PPDC will relax our vigilance. Remember, when the unexplained makes the hair on the back of your head stand up, call the PPDC hotline at 1 800 I AM SCARED.

Been awhile since I have had a nice Chupacabra roast!

UPDATE:

Certain strains of Chupacabra, especially the northern Indiana packs, seem to have developed a higher level of tolerance for certain ingredients of the repellent and formula modification may be required in order to achieve desired results.

A pack of them are moving in across the field from us. I saw one of the young ones escape the nest this afternoon, and once it got within 100 yards of the stall, it tucked tail and ran back to its hide out. (Which I have now marked for this evenings sorties) .

That is all. . .

Do you need me to mobilize the RMMT?

Do you need me to mobilize the RMMT?

I don't think so. My squad should be able to handle this one. . .  I used a zircon encrusted tweezer to increase the potency of this evenings ammo. Should do the trick. You might give them a heads up though, just in case things get FUBAR. . .

Man, you shot right past SNAFU and FUBB.

I admire you for engaging such a potent enemy head on.

You don't play with the Chupacabra! The second you make an assumption is when you are the most exposed! 

[followsthewolf]

I would never believe that you would expose yourself, PH.

At least, not intentionally.

Guess I better put the beverages down for awhile! The mac won't take much more of this spitting of the beverage all over it thing. . .

Everytime I see the word "Chupacabra" I think of the song:

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
Merry merry king of the bush is he.
Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra,
How gay your life must be!
