Whatever killed the dog in the Top End, it wasn't the Yowie, according to a Yowie expert, who asserts that the Yowie speculation is "alarmist."
(Thanks to Jeff Meyerson, who notes that "Yowie Alarmists" would be a good name for a rock band)

I saw 'em warming up for the Bonzo Dog Band in '74. Helluva show.

First they name an actor "Yahoo Serious", then they expect us to believe them about so-called "Yowies"?...

Them yowies'll getcha.

"People need to calm down, there is no threat from the Yowie. This is clearly the type of kill a chupacabra would make, so they can relax."

If Yahweh's roaming Australia killing dogs, we're in deeper . . . what? Yowie? Nevermind.

It's reassuring to know that in these times of economic uncertainty, Tim, the former economist, can make a living as a Yowie Man. "I saw that the crash was coming, and decided it was safer to get into Yowies."

Over the years, people reported "seeing some tall hairy thing beforehand."

re: jon's post — After Tom Jones stopped wearing tight pants, these sightings ceased?

I'm still trying to figure out why the large, hairy, naked man was running across the road.
Posted by: nursecindy | April 22, 2009 at 10:51 AM
nursecindy, he was trying to get to the other side. That's where his pants were.
Posted by: Alien8 | April 22, 2009 at 10:52 AM
The Yowie did it? That's ridiculous. You should call them by the proper name: Bigfoot. Bigfoot did it.

Of course it wasn't him. He was sleeping off a hangover.

Natural code?

Cheese, a cryptonaturalist studies Superman's dog.

Bit the head off a puppy?
Where wuz Alice Cooper about this time?
Posted by: O the U(manity) | April 22, 2009 at 12:36 PM
O, Alice Cooper was probably playing golf somewhere. Siouxie, is that another picture of Sharkie?

The Yowie Man has a book written about him.

Same as cryptozoologist. Basically, someone who specializes in legendary critters like Nessie, Champ, and Bigfoot.

It's very difficult for a layman to decide who is right. On the one hand, we have a Yowie Researcher, and on the other a Yowie Man. It's a puzzlement.

"One turned out to be a hoax, another turned out to be a hairy naked human running across the Stuart Highway near Alice Springs and the other was of spurious origin," he said.
For bloggers from outside Australia;
Like flies to roadkill, Canberra and the Northern Territory attract our crazies.
Although the NT is much larger there are more crazies in Canberra.
Nursecindy, it's because Alice springs.
