Monster Quest

This post contains two paintings from badpaintingsofbarackobama.com. From the few I saw, I thought these were the most thought provoking ones.

Last night, a friend described a show on the history channel called monster quest. It explores modern day monsters from bigfoot to stalin's ape boy. He recently saw an episode about a giant prehistoric creature lurking in Lake Champlain. This monster is nicknamed Champ and it is described as a dinosaur-like animal, 15-25 feet long. He told me some cute facts about the lake. Apparently, the lake has a really deep spot and from underwater recordings, scientists on the show determined that Champ may have the ability to employ soundwaves to navigate the lake.

In a diminutive voice, my friend asked me what I'd do if I saw such a thing. I told him I'd "throw a saddle on that bitch and ride her to Washington D.C." I was surprised that I instinctively chose Washington D.C. Maybe it was because, in my head, I imagined parading through towns, streets lined with cheering crowds hailing me as a modern day dragon slayer and eventually presenting the dinosaur to Michelle and Barack.
