All we need now is a full moon
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In the newspaper industry, the hazy, crazy, lazy days of August are known as the time of year the wackos come out of the woodwork. This year isn’t disappointing.
We’ve got a guy in north Georgia who supposedly held his wife and kids captive in a trailer for years, in what had to be an absolute nightmare. We’ve got a teenager here in Atlanta who says he was kidnapped off the streets by his girlfriend’s family and tortured because he wouldn’t stop seeing her.
And on a decidedly lighter note, we’ve got some local good ol’ boys claiming they found Bigfoot in the north Georgia mountains and have the carcass to prove it. They claim to be “the best Bigfoot trackers in the world,” and hey, who could dispute that?
The good news is, the August full moon doesn’t even come out until tomorrow.
(Seeing this item, it’s gotta kill Trash that he’s on a week-long ban and can’t comment).
