Dan Kennedy, host of The Moth - Boing Boing

From Boing Boing -- The Moth. Of which I have been unfamiliar but of course, now I must explore!

Dan Kennedy, host of The Moth - Boing Boing: Over its 17 year existence, The Moth has shaped the age-old art of storytelling into something uniquely its own, a style as instantly recognizable as any music style or movie genre. And like a great song or movie, there’s something in a perfectly executed Moth story that leaves the listener feeling as though they could never imitate such a perfect feat. And, if the organization’s show runners are to be believed, just about anyone with a story, and the willingness to be coached by a pro, can do precisely that.

Vintage U.F.O.: Saucer People Trading Cards: Men in Black, #23

"Saucer People" Trading Cards: Mothman

Many years ago I bought this deck of flying saucer trading cards, put out by Kitchen Sink Press, artist Barry Crane, 1992. Set of 36 full color cards, with illustrations of UFO researchers, abductees, famous flying saucer events, and even uber skepti-bunny Phillip Klass! Info of each case, person, etc on the back of each card.

Here's Mothy!

An American Mothman in London: Bat Beast and Owlman - Who Forted? Magazine

From Who Forted?, musings from Ken Summers on the Cornwall "Mothman" etc.:

An American Mothman in London: Bat Beast and Owlman - Who Forted? Magazine: The summer of 1976 has gone down in British history as one of the hottest on record. But it’s not just the searing temperatures that mark it as a memorable one; that year, there were many strange sightings of UFOs and other unexplained incidents which bewildered and terrified many people. But just before the heatwave got underway, an especially peculiar sight transfixed residents in the finger of land jutting out on the southwestern side of England. ~ (Who Forted?)

Mothman in the kitchen

I'm in the kitchen, trying to fix my lunch. Jim is hopping around after a moth with his bug racket zapper thing. Driving me crazy. But he's so intent on getting this moth. He gets the step stool, he stands at the ready, he watches and listens, like Zatoichi, the blind samurai:

Me: "Christ darling, calm down. You're like Batman over here 

."Jim: "I'm not Batman, I'm Mothman!"

Cracked me up.
