A Tale of Two Bill Gibbonses
Posted by: John Kirk on August 6th, 2014
I find it interesting that a Mokele-mbembe hunter and the lead guitarist of ZZ Top have the same name, have red hair and are really good at what they do.
Of course I am referring to the two Bill Gibbons of this world. I’d like to get them both in the same room and have them talk to each other. It would be surreal. Maybe ZZ Top Bill could write a song about the great African Cryptid. Maybe the Original Texas Bigfoot Conference could extend an invitation to ZZ Top to attend their event in October. Would be a blast.
Who would I like to talk to about cryptids you might ask? No question, Megan Fox.
She indicated this week that she would probably be able to find a sasquatch if she was invited to go on an expedition. I would put Megan in the believer category. She’d be fun to chat with AND look at.
“Bigfoot’s real,” she told PEOPLE when asked about her shared connections to the Comic-Con faithful. “And I have confidence in myself that if I were ever to be taken out on an expedition … I would be the one to find Bigfoot.”Megan Fox
I know I am supposed to be working on an article, but my demented mind keeps wandering into insane realms and thinking of odd things like the two Bill Gibbons. There apparently is no cure for this dementia.
Now back to writing about game cams and hypnosis and their use in sasquatch research.
