   woah; I'll have to email Chester about this one.  Chester is a bigfoot   
   hunter of sorts; he's a cryptozooligist.  I met him a while back at a   
   celebration and we became friendly (he was so cool; he worked for Ted   
   Nugent and got me a graph) a couple weeks ago, I saw him on a TV show   
   on the history channel (sort of like ghost hunters but they look for   
   other claims like bigfoot or chubracabre).  Anyway, I wonder if he's   
   spoken to Lon.... that would be interesting to see if he interviewed   
   him or something.
