I apologize for the delay in getting this post up, but only a handful of you even seem to care about the Ring of Elders. So, I guess it really doesn't matter.
After three weeks of voting, the Ring of Elders consists of Blues Traveler (3 votes), Brother Man (2 votes), and David Icke (1 vote). One spot remains on our organization's Mount Rushmore. Of course, people can be knocked off the Mount as the season progresses.
For those of you who have voted, I appreciate your thoughtfulness in undertaking your duty. We now turn to this week's nominee...
Mothman
Aliases: Big Bird
Enemies: everyone
Historical Antecedent: The Garuda, possibly Indrid Cold though they may be contemporaries
Memorable Quote: “Keep it real.”
Likes: screaming, disasters, chasing people
Dislikes: bridges, people from West Virgina, Richard Gere
from Wikipeda: The Mothman is a creature reportedly seen in the Charleston and Point Pleasant areas of West Virginia from November 1966 to December 1967. Most observers describe the Mothman as a winged, man-sized creature with red eyes and moth-like wings. The Mothman was sighted several times prior to the December 15, 1967 collapse of the Silver Bridge, which killed 46 people. It is rumored that the Mothman appears before upcoming disasters or that the Mothman causes disasters. In his 1975 book, The Mothman Prophecies, paranormal researcher John Keel claims that Mothman sightings were related to other parapsychological events that were reported in Point Pleasant during the late 1960s.
UPG moment: photos of Mothman set to the musical stylings of Bone, anyone?
(WARNING: Due to Bone's naughty lyrics, you may want mute the soundtrack. However, if you mute the soundtrack, there's really no point in watching a slideshow of Mothman pictures. Actually, now that I think about it, there's really no point in watching this video to begin with. Sorry.
decidedly un-UPG moment: destroying that bridge (however, if Mothman was actually trying to warn people about the bridge's collapse, then that was actually a very UPG thing to do)
I am for this 100%. What the hell is up with that Bone video? Was that a joke? I guess it was still better than the Crossroads video.
ReplyDeleteNay. He scares me too much.
ReplyDeleteJohn, Jimmy, Steve, and Everett all granted me a proxy to vote on their behalf. Three Nays and a Yay. John said he turned into the Mothman after being antiqued for the second time and sympathizes with his inclination for natural disaster.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to go on the record to state that no such proxy was given. Anyhow, I still vote nay because of the creepy factor
ReplyDeleteI have continued to read the blog regularly, but it has simply taken me a long time to decide how to vote on this tricky candidate. In the end, I vote yay for Mothman, but I refuse to justify my vote.
ReplyDeleteDamn. This was the first candidate that I really wanted to be on the ring of elders.
