MANISTIQUE, Michigan (AP) — Researchers will visit Michigan’s Upper Peninsula next month to search for evidence of the legendary creature known as “Bigfoot” or “Sasquatch.”
The expedition will focus on eastern Marquette County, said Matthew Moneymaker of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization.
“We’ll be looking for evidence supporting a presence. … We hope to meet local people who might have seen a Sasquatch or heard of someone else who had an encounter,” Moneymaker told the Daily Press of Escanaba.
The legend of Bigfoot dates back centuries. But skeptics have challenged accounts of sightings, and practical jokers have staged hoaxes that have included grainy film footage of people dressed in costumes.
But Moneymaker said members of his organization have either glimpsed Bigfoot or gotten close enough to hear the creature in all but three of 30 expeditions in the United States and Canada.
The late Grover Krantz, a Washington State University professor who specialized in cryptozoology, the study of creatures that have not been proven to exist, believed Bigfoot was a “gigantopithecus,” a branch of primitive man believed to have existed 3 million years ago.
It seems every day this week apple is releasing some more information on the iphone from the contract costs with at&t to how you use the keyboard that is touchscreen. Its pretty amazing. The question is: How is the phone portion of it? There is no doubt about it, the software running on it will be fairly stable much like the OSX style operating system. We’re looking at a phone running widgets basically. But there are a lot of what if questions that will need to be answered as Friday rolls on.
There’s a Paul Thorn song out there, called “Almost What You Need.” It’s about the pain of unreturned love, and seeing the one you love not return those feelings.
Never mind that it’s a beautiful song. The concept of having feelings for someone and not having them returned to you is one that has been done to death in entertainment, but not as poignantly as in this song.
Now, I’m not in love by any means. But I get that song a little bit more.
A while back, I posted on Wetwired about a certain woman I’d developed some feelings for- again, not love but certainly a special affinity at least. Shortly afterwards, I made my intentions known that I would begin to “woo” her, for lack of a better term.
She was flattered. She played around with the concept, too, and for a while I thought that it was possible that she might in fact return those feelings I had begun to develop.
(Unless you’re completely clueless, you should see where this is headed.)
Friday, I pretty much saw the writing on the wall after we had danced around the subject for some time. I decided I would end the pursuit, and told her I would only pursue her continued friendship. Later that night, she called. She was sorry if I was hurt, and and she told me that she wasn’t ready for a relationship like that with anyone. In her mind, she would be a better friend than anything else. Me being the schmuck I am, I said I was okay, and that I would be fine.
I can deal with rejection. I’ve been rejected before, and it’s painful. This one hurt too, but I’m at least retaining the friendship. I’d decided that it was more important to keep her as a friend than make anything uncomfortable by continuing after a lost cause.
…
Still… it would have been nice.

Original Alamo is moving to 6th street. They are asking if you have any memories that you shoot them over - specifically if you have a blog entry. I went ahead and shot over Fnliii’s Harold and Kumar incident. The reply from Jon Hurwitz made it all better I’d say.
Saturday Salvage Vangaurd will be doing 2 shows for the Intergalatic Nemesis its free. Thats right, new material, and free. I’m guessing it will be just a bit crowded, but we’re going to try to go.
Apple has a new iphone tour that is 20 minutes. Part marketing, part tutorial on how to use. In reality, just another brilliant marketing ploy that you have to admire about Apple.
Also I have done some “summer cleaning” on the links/blogroll. A lot of the blogs on there have not been updated in 6 months or are dead links. Its amazing how many blogs come and go, yet wetwired is 7 years strong.
That’s all I got for now, just figured it was time to post something again as we’ve been short on posts for a long time. In actuality I’m thinking about updating to the new version of Movable Type that is in beta.
MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa - Police blame a woman named Butts for stealing toilet paper from a central Iowa courthouse, and while they’re chuckling, the theft charge could put her in prison.
“She’s facing potentially three years of incarceration for three rolls of toilet paper,” Chief Lon Walker said, stifling a laugh as he talked to KCCI-TV about Suzanne Marie Butts. “See, I can’t say it with a straight face.”
Workers had noticed the rolls disappearing from the Marshall County Courthouse much faster than usual, Walker said.
Butts, 38, was caught last week after an employee saw her taking three rolls of two-ply tissue from a storage closet, Walker said.
Butts insisted it was the first time she’d pilfered toilet paper, but she declined to answer further questions on her attorney’s advice.
The fifth-degree theft charge, a misdemeanor, normally carries a sentence of less than a year in jail. But Butts could face more time if convicted under the state’s habitual offender law because she has prior theft convictions.
Walker did not know why Butts was at the courthouse, but said that she did not work there.
Imagine that you’ve just violated the terms of your parole on drunk driving charges. The judge can sentence you to up to a year in jail. The judge is lenient on you, and give you 45 days.
Now, imagine you’re Paris fucking Hilton.
Well, in that case you’re living the dream, since the LA County Jail system sees fit to let your skanky, whorish, vacuous, having-less-brainpower-or-usefulness-than-dog-shit ass out today.
My hatred for this useless mass of flesh known as Paris Hilton is pretty well-known. So, my anger at her release today was tempered merely by the fact that the judge in the case, who ordered that she not be released to an electronic surveillance program, now is having her brought back in front of him for possible return to incarceration. Dude was apparently so pissed off that his orders weren’t followed that he may bring up the sheriff in LA County on Contempt of court charges.
Maybe then, just maybe, justice isn’t completely perverted by this bitch.
Out.
