Defending The Young [11.25.24]

As of late, there have been an alarming number of claims regarding the disappearance of children around the lake, according to the subreddit that most of the evidence of the creature’s existence is concentrated in. This is yet another reason to, as I’ve advised in my prior blog posts, stay cautious.

However, I might suggest we start taking action, seeing as the most vulnerable age groups are being directly targeted, and we must see to their protection. I’d recommend that we avoid seeking out whatever may be in the lake, but rather act to fortify and defend the areas surrounding the lake until we know we’re safe outside of the “lake zone”.

Remember,

The truth is often stranger than fiction.

Lake Monster and The Cult (11/15/24)

Hello everyone, I don't know if you have heard of the Lake Monster in Lake Winona because I have and ZOO WEE MAMA that thing is HUGE. All those videos, pictures and and other things just proves there is a mighty big fish in the lake. Needless to say I want to hunt the fish, take, a nice picture, then shore lunch on it and fry it and cook it. 

But there is one BIG issue, its hard to catch. I don't know if you been reading that Rybak journal but from what I've read that thing is a beast and difficult to catch. In order to catch it I need a group of fisherman to help track it and catch it. If you would like to work with me go to the Monster Hunter page and fill out the form.

One avenue I have considered in my mission to hunt the lake monster is to infiltrate the cult that worships the fish. That way we can have direct connections to the monster and catch the monster. If you are willing to please attend cult meetings to gather information on the monster. Together we can hunt this fish and enjoy its bounty. Their next meeting will take place at the lake next Tuesday at 4:30 PM. Unfortunately my wife needs me to do housework, she just doesn't understand the importance of catching the Lake Monster. So please if you can attend the next cult meeting and report the information back to me we will both take the reward in catching the fish and sharing its bounty

Lake Monster Origin (11/10/24)

Here is my theory for the Lake Monster in Lake Winona: In the 1940s Gilmore Creek was routed to go through Boiler Lake into Winona Lake and poured into the Mississippi. In later years Lake Winona was dredged helped the lake become more habitable for the lake monster. Its possible that the lake monster swam either from the Mississippi into the lake for down from Gilmore Creek into Lake Winona. And with the lake being dredged mulitple times it just became a better and better habitat for it.

A Gentle Reminder [11.8.24]

I would just like to remind all whom see this [including my follow moderators] that panicking over this situation will do no good. We have such little information regarding this creature, and to be so alarmed is, respectfully, foolish.

If we hope to discover the secrets of this creature, we must fight wariness, as the unknown must be investigated thoroughly, confidently, and carefully; to fear the unknown is to deny oneself the strength to look it in the eyes.

Remember,

The truth is often stranger than fiction.

WINTER APPROACHING!!! (11-1-24)

HELLO FOLKS,

AS YOU KNOW THE WEATHER IS STARTING TO GET COLDER ONCE MORE. BUT WHAT YOU MAY NOT KNOW IS THAT THE COLDER WEATHER NOT ONLY MAKES US MINNESOTANS UPSET, BUT IT ALSO UPSETS THE CREATURE. EVERY YEAR THERE IS MYSTERIOUS UPTICKS IN CREATURE ACTIVITY AS IT GETS COLD BEFORE THE LAKE FREEZES OVER. MY HYPOTHESIS IS THAT IT IS COLLECTING WHAT IT NEEDS BEFORE HIBERNATION. BUT WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE MUST BE OUR MOST ALERT THESE NEXT FEW WEEKS AS WE CAN ANTICIPATE THE CREATURE TO MAKE ITSELF HEARD! CATCH THE CREATURE BEFORE THE LAKE FREEZES!!!!!!!

Vigilance [09.18.24]

I suggest that all who choose to physically investigate this supposed ‘creature of the lake’ make sure to exercise caution. I need not remind anyone of the consequences of approaching this mystery with haste.

I do not imagine anyone else would like to meet the same enigmatic fate.

For your own safety, remember:

The truth is often stranger than fiction.

Quest Abound [08/27/24]

So, yeah, I’m about to take off on a little adventure of my own. I’ve been doing my research, pulling data, and talking to some pretty interesting people—fishermen, local historians, cryptozoologists, and even some folks who claim they’ve seen the creatures themselves. It’s going to be a wild ride, and I’ll be streaming the whole journey. Don’t worry—I won’t leave you hanging.

Will I find the monster? I’m not sure. But like I always say: sometimes, the real discovery is in the quest itself. If nothing else, I’ll at least have a great story to tell and a ton of new data to analyze. Plus, who doesn’t want to say they were the first to livestream an actual lake monster sighting?

So, make sure to hit that follow button fr, because we’re about to go on a journey that’s gonna be just as epic as finding the Loch Ness… or at least a few memorable moments.

Catch you on the other side of the lake,

The Unsolved Mystery of Left-Shoe Socks [08/27/24]

Okay, so I need to talk about something that has been absolutely bothering me lately. It’s a mystery that has baffled mankind for generations, and I think it’s time we all faced the cold, hard truth:

Where do all the left-shoe socks go? 🧦

You know exactly what I mean. You start the laundry with a fresh pair of socks—two perfectly matched socks, side by side. You put them in the washer, maybe a little bit of detergent, and boom, they go in the dryer. But then… when you pull them out? ONE sock is mysteriously missing.

But not just any sock. It’s ALWAYS the left one. Why does the left sock always disappear? What’s going on here? Is there a sock dimension? Do they run away to join some kind of sock rebellion? Are they starting their own society in the dryer lint? 🤔

Here’s what I’ve gathered from extensive (read: totally non-scientific) research:

Sock Wormholes: I’ve considered the possibility of tiny sock-sized black holes in the dryer. Like, maybe some quantum physics thing where the left sock just slips through another dimension. This could explain the randomness and sheer inconsistency of it.

The Sock Conspiracy: What if it’s not missing at all? What if the left socks are secretly organizing against us? Think about it—every time you lose one, it’s like the left sock is trying to start a revolution. They’re building a secret society, and one day, they’ll rise up. The sock rebellion will be real. 😱

The Hidden Left-Sock Army: This one’s a bit out there, but bear with me. Maybe the left socks are just waiting for the right moment to reappear. They’re biding their time, gathering strength, and will all return at once to overthrow the right socks, and the laundry game as we know it will never be the same again. Mark my words.

In the meantime, I’m off to dig through the dryer lint to see if I can find at least one left sock. (Or maybe it’s time to start buying mismatched socks. But that’s a story for another time.)

Stay weird,
